Hardcore new BMW M2 inbound

Second-generation coupé to spawn track-focused variant packing a 473bhp punch

- WILL RIMELL

BMW is testing a stripped-back, hardcore version of its upcoming second-generation M2 Coupé.

The new model is expected to be badged either CS or CSL (the latter name has just been revived on the limited-run M4 CSL) and will follow the G87 M2, to be revealed next month, as a more potent, track-focused version of Munich’s baby performance car.

Previous-generation M2 CS was based on M2 Competition

It will be similarly positioned to the previous-generation top-wrung M2 CS, which was the most hardcore version of the F87 M2 and a firmed-up variant of the celebrated M2 Competition.
