However, we know from a recent video that the actual output of the new M2 is above those advertised numbers. The straight-six motor generated 465 hp and 412 lb-ft of torque on the dyno and it seems that BMW is playing it safe with the top speed numbers as well. As standard, the car is electronically limited to 155 miles per hour, and optionally, you can unlock it to 177 mph. However, the Zandvoort Blue M2 featured in the video attached at the top of this page hits 180 mph, which is obviously a bit more than what BMW claims.<\/p>\n
Impressed by what you see in the video? The 2023 M2 is surely one of the most capable sports cars on the market today. But that comes with a price to match its capabilities \u2013 the entry point is at $63,195 and our test car from April this year was just over $72,000. At that price, you can even buy a decently equipped Porsche 718 Boxster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you want even more power in the M2, fear not. BMW is currently working on a CS version of the sports coupe, which is believed to have around 520 hp. Alternatively, AC Schnitzer’s modified variant will have a more aggressive aero package and around 500 hp. An M2 Competition doesn’t seem to be in the cards, though.<\/p>\n
