BMW is showing off quite a fleet of models to its North American customers at the Detroit Auto Show, but it would be pretty safe to say that none of them – not even the ultra-futuristic i8 -- are drawing as many eyeballs and capturing as many hearts as the M-fettled version of the 2-Series sedan, the BMW M2 Coupe.
With motive power coming from a 3-litre 6-cylinder M TwinPower Turbo engine that pumps out 365 PS of peak power and 465 Nm of torque, the BMW M2 can zip from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.3 seconds (with the optional M Double Clutch Transmission and Launch Control activated), and on to an electronically restricted top speed of 250 kmph. The 0-100kmph dash is accomplished in 4.5s with the six-speed manual gearbox. The peak torque can also be increased to as much as 500 Nm in short bursts under overboost.
Throw in other goodies like 19-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber, an active differential, and a seriously aggressive-looking body kit, and you’ve got the recipe for the perfect weekend track monster that can also ferry you to work day in and day out in comfort.
When asked if a four-door variant of the M2 is in the cards, BMW Chief of Sales Ian Robertson said that BMW “has had a lot of success with four door versions. We may look at more variants of the M2, but for now, it remains a two-door.”
Now for the price. When equipped with the manual transmission, the M2 will cost $52,695 (approx. Rs 35 lakh) in the US of A. With the DCT, it’ll be $2,900 (Rs 2 lakh) more.
