The standard BMW M2 tops 155 miles per hour (250 km/h), but G87 can reach much higher speeds. Choose the M optional Parties Package, and the rear -wheel drive sport car will reach 177 miles per hour (285 km/h). If you want to rise the digital speed meter up, you will need to climb to the new M2 CS. Competition can break the 300 km/hour barrier by hitting 188 miles per hour (302 km/h). Keep in mind that this number is still limited electronically.
While running the record in Nürburgring, the M2 CS is close to reaching its maximum speed. Near the end of the hot lap, the BMW M Jörg Weidingeer Development Engineer reached 185 miles per hour (298 km/h). A few other seconds of the rectum, it was enough to strike Hardcore M2 its number.
It is a great achievement of a “compressed” car, outperforming its opponent from the Ingolsat. As an activation, Audi RS3 reaches a top speed of 180 miles per hour (290 km/h) when provided with the RS Dynamic Plus Plus package. M2 CS now plays in large league tournaments, almost identical to the top speed of large BMW M models. Cars like M4 CSL, M5 CS and M8 are still slightly faster, but the M2 is not far away.
As shown in the shots on the plane below, Jörg Weidinger did not participate in the eighth equipment of the car while placing green hell. It reached the highest speed within 7: 25.5 rp at the seventh gear. Why? The final gear is usually reserved for fuel consumption instead of explicit performance. It is safe to say, that the BMW M Development Engineer was not chasing efficiency; He was chasing the time of the lap.
However, fuel consumption is not very bad. BMW 10 liters per 100 km is quoted on the common WLTP cycle, which translates into 23.5 miles per gallon. However, given the type of car, the M2 CS is that achieving this number will require adjustment. The most balanced alternative may be the M240i, which provides a strong performance with a better efficiency at more accessible price point.
M2 thirst can be on the way, as BMW thinks about the Xdrive version that will add additional weight. The CSL variable is also possible, it can trim fat compared to the RWD model. With approximately four years in the second -generation M2 life cycle, BMW M engineers still have time to increase the G87 formula.
