BMW has just announced the next evolution of its popular M2 sports car: the new 2020 BMW M2 CS Coupe. Designed to “blend racetrack optimization with everyday usability,” this new high-performance coupe will be the most capable M2 yet.
The automaker estimates the M2 CS Coupe will make 444 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, representing an impressive 39-hp improvement over the M2 Competition. It features body panels and components made out of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer to help reduce weight as well, improve aerodynamics and even lower the center of gravity. It also comes with exclusive Alcantara® and carbon fiber interior trim to differentiate itself from previous models.
The inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine is paired with your choice of a rev-matching six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. To prevent wheelspin, the M2 CS Coupe gets an Active M locking differential capable of over 1,800 lb-ft of full locking power. And for better handling, it boasts a standard Adaptive M suspension, M Compound brakes, and varying degrees of steering assistance you can select via three preconfigured driving programs.
The 2020 BMW M2 CS Coupe rides on standard 19-inch Y-spoke style wheels wrapped in either Michelin® Cup 2 tires or mixed performance tires. Inside, exclusive embroidery, badging and fine materials further help set the M2 CS Coupe Apart.
The M2 CS Coupe makes its official world debut at Automobility LA, and a separate racing version of the car will be offered by BMW Motorsport as an entry-level model for customer racing teams.
