The 1M produces 400 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque thanks to a raft of modifications that include ECU mapping, downpipes, intercooler and CAI. Unlike the M3, it features a six-speed manual transmission.
The new M3 might be me slightly more powerful, but the 1M is 100 kilograms lighter (1570 kg vs 1675 kg), so will weight play a significant role in this race? Find out in the video below.
