BMW M6 GT3

The Carrera BMW M6 GT3, the brutality of GTs in 1:32 scale

The BMW M6 GT3 is one of the most recognisable GT cars of the last decade on real tracks: a powerhouse and aerodynamic block that competed in the most demanding GT3 series in the world, from the ADAC GT Masters championship to the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Carrera brings it to the slot world with its reference CA27559, capturing the characteristic lines of this high-performance GT in a piece designed for both racing and display.

Features and highlights

• 1:32 scale, the standard for club and home slot racing.
• Body of the BMW M6 GT3 finished in racing paint and decoration.
• Manufactured by Carrera, a brand with decades of experience in the slot segment and high-quality circuits.
• Compatible with Carrera Evolution and Carrera Digital 132 tracks, as well as universal rail systems like Scalextric or Ninco.
• Catalogue reference: CA27559.

Scale and level of detail

The 1:32 scale allows for the capture of the most striking visual details of the M6 GT3: the air vents on the bonnet, the competition rear wings, the precisely moulded bumpers, and the livery decoration. Carrera pays special attention to the visual finish in this range, making the CA27559 a piece that also fits well in a display case alongside other competition miniatures.

Track performance

The cars in the Carrera 1:32 range are designed to offer stable and accessible performance, suitable for both family or recreational sessions and club racing on longer tracks. The factory guide and braids allow for immediate use without the need for additional preparation, although it is always possible to fine-tune to the preferences of the most demanding driver.

Ideal for…

• Slot enthusiasts looking to add an iconic GT to their collection.
• Club racers seeking a GT category car for recreational sessions or informal competitions.
• Collectors attracted by the aesthetics of real GT3 cars and their scale representation.
• Home circuits Carrera Evolution or Digital 132.

Considerations

If your goal is high-performance club racing, keep in mind that Carrera's standard cars are optimised for an accessible driving experience. For federated competition or advanced preparation sessions, it may be advisable to review the guide, braids, and motor. Nevertheless, as a starting point or as a collection car in 1:32 scale, the CA27559 performs excellently.
