BMW releases the track-ready high-tech M2 CS

BMW releases the track-ready high-tech M2 CS

BMW has released its latest M2 CS as a premium high-performance sports car. The latest version aims to blend performance with high-tech comfort and digital innovation.

The new BMW M2 CS is based on the second generation of the BMW M2. The high-revving six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology develops an impressive 390kW/530hp in the BMW M2 CS, 37kW/50hp more than in the current BMW M2. The engine produces its maximum power output of 390kW/530hp at 6,250rpm, with the engine speed topping out at 7,200rpm.

Carbon and racing flair inside

BMW M has reduced the weight of this edition by roughly 30kg compared with the standard M2. This has been achieved through various modifications, including the use of lightweight design techniques. For example, the center console is made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). The driver and passenger take their places in weight-optimized, heated M Carbon bucket seats with a wide range of electrically controlled settings and an illuminated CS logo. The integrated head restraints are removable and, thanks to the option of integrating multipoint harnesses, improve the car’s track readiness. The surfaces of the seats are finished in Merino leather.

With a flat-bottomed rim, gearshift paddles, a red center marker at 12 o’clock and two M buttons for selecting individually configured vehicle setups, the standard M Alcantara steering wheel, which is available in a heated version as an option and features a three-spoke design, brings authentic racing flair to the cockpit. The trim elements in the instrument panel and center console come in M Carbon Fiber. Additional specific details include the red CS logo on the center console, the M seatbelts and the entry door sill plates, which are black with an M2 CS logo and red outline for the first time. The door trim panels are illuminated with the CS logo. When the illumination is switched off, a carbon structure is visible. Rounding off the sporty interior is the M Anthracite headlining.

Digital control and driving assist functions

Standard equipment in the new BMW M2 CS also includes two-zone automatic climate control, comfort access, the Harman Kardon surround sound system and BMW live cockpit professional, including the BMW Maps navigation system. As well as the BMW head-up display, it includes augmented view on the control display.

The standard smartphone integration allows the use of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The M-specific displays on the BMW curved display and BMW head-up display add to the progressive sportscar flair in the cockpit. The fully digital display grouping consists of a 12.3in information display and a 14.9in control display. These serve as a platform for the BMW iDrive control and operation system, based on BMW operating system 8.5, which can also be used to digitally operate the climate control functions. In the BMW M2 CS, temperature and ventilation settings, heated seats and the heated steering wheel (if specified) can be controlled either by touch using a special menu option in the lower area of the control display, or by voice command with the help of the BMW intelligent personal assistant.

Semi-automated driving and parking systems are fitted as standard and include front collision warning, cruise control with brake function, speed-limit information function with no-overtaking indicator, lane departure warning, and the parking assistant with reversing assistant. Active cruise control with stop-and-go function and the driving assistant can be added as optional equipment.

In related news, Fiat recently introduced the new Grande Panda hybrid, following the recent release of the fully electric version. The hybrid model emphasizes the use of sustainable materials and showcases cutting-edge technology
