The M Performance dept. of BMW has just given us another reason to rejoice by introducing its upcoming 2016 BMW M2. The car looks killer and a clear hitter.
The M2 comes in the scene where the M235i leaves off. The M2 gets more powerful engine which gives out a better performance. The M2 gets a 3L inline six cylinder engine which uses all its outgoing air through a TwinScroll turbocharger to produce 365 horses and 465 Nm of torque which is 45 horses and 18 Nm of torque more than the M235i.
The power figures help the manual M2 to do a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 4.2 seconds while with the optional dual clutch gearbox it does 0-100 kmph in 4.4 seconds.
With that kind of power, the M2 will race to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds with the optional dual clutch gearbox. Go for the proper manual, and to 60 mph it takes 0.2 seconds slower (4.4 seconds). Top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph. top speed of this little two door performance car is limited to 250 kmph.
The car features an active differential and an electronically controlled multi-plate unit that makes the drive the way you want it to. It also gets a Drift mode. Yeah! a Drift mode. The M Dynamic Mode of the car allows you to do moderate and controlled drifts at the speed you want it to.
The car looks aggressive and killer which should get your heart pumping to drive it all day long. It’s got stimulated flares and scoops. The M2 still features in-your-face bodywork on both front and rear, with a increase of 2.1 inches up front, and 3.1 inches in the back. It gets the 19-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires to add up to your drifting and driving fun.
