I guess it's the same engine and same tranny as M5. Maybe we could call it as M5 coupe (M6)...

In answer the the original question: Yes. That does appear to be a pre-production M6 test mule doing laps, likely at the ring, but ICBW.
As for the engine, the latest rumors put the M6 at an M5-topping 550 hp (M5 is 507, but that could be european HP, not US hp, so the US rating may be about 500) and with 300-400 pounds of weight reduction, but that might describe an M6 CSL that is above and beyond the very capable M6.
What a great time to be a car enthusiast . . .

I don't like it. It's Bangled and mangled. It's choppy. Looks like it was designed by a committee. It doesn't flow. Doesn't work for me.
This from a BMW lover/owner. Check out the original link and read all the complaints of the 6 series owners. I thought we had a lot. Not.
