Few folks within the motorsports realm have the name recognition of Valentino Rossi. Even if you'd never watched MotoGP, you likely are aware of the 7-time world champ. He's up there with Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Michael Dunlop, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Travis Pastrana.
And while the champ retired from two-wheeled racing a number of years ago, after lighting a fire under the ass of MotoGP's Marc Marquez to beat Vale's record, Rossi is still racing. He's just doing so on four wheels instead of two. And given his prior team of Yamaha doesn't have a four-wheeled offering to play with, Vale's gone over to BMW to race in GT3 aboard an M4.
To celebrate the partnership, as well as Valentino's 46th birthday—which coincides with his racing number of 46—BMW launched a special edition M4 CS road car that you or I could, theoretically, purchase if we were the ultimate driving and Rossi fans. And honestly, it looks pretty sick.
