With lighter carbon parts, the HP4 is equipped with a Launch Control function which helps riders achieve maximum acceleration from a standing start. Plus, its gearshift has been improved - no interruptions means gaining precious fractions of a second on the racetrack.

BMW has yet to release the price and the launch date of this new model.
