Thanks to everyone for lending us their cars for this race:
- BMW M2: @AUTOIDTV
- Audi RS3: / autotorque
The new BMW M2 is HERE, and we’re putting git up against some of its biggest rivals! The question is, does BMW’s smallest M car have a chance against the likes of AMG, Audi & Porsche?
Well, it’s time to find out! Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by Audi’s glorious 2.5-litre 5 cylinder turbo engine that can produce 400hp and 500Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox. It weighs in at 1,570kg, and if you’re looking to pick one up it’ll cost you around £54,000.
To its right we have the recently revised Mercedes-AMG A45 S. It’s packing a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo under the bonnet that can put down 421hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,550kg. It’s a bit more expensive than the Audi, too, costing around £63,000.
On the far side we have the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS. It’s the most expensive car here, coming in at £75,300! What’s more, it’s also the least powerful car here, with the 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six producing 400hp and 430Nm. This power is only sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, however, it’s also the lightest car here, coming in at just 1,435kg.
Then finally we have the all-new BMW M2. It’s equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six, and as a result, it’s the most powerful car here, putting down 460hp and 550Nm of torque! Just like the Porsche this power is sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and a new one today will cost around 1,720kg. However, it’s by far the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 1,720kg!
So how will this one play out - will the weight difference prove decisive? Or will the M2’s extra power push it to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    • Agreed this is a very underrated car and isn't it true that BMW is definitely planning to make an M2 CS? Just imagine an M2 CS with around 550 horsepower, and then you take it to a reputable aftermarket tuner and get full bolt ons, with full ecu tuning on race gas or ethanol? I think at that point you'd be talkin about a lightweight M2 with probably 850 or more horsepower especially if you upgrade the turbos to more efficient and slightly larger aftermarket turbos and then over 1000 horsepower should be possible

  • That ZF single clutch gearbox is a masterpiece of engineering, I don’t know why car companies are bothered with double clutch boxes, they are especially snappy around town driving.

    @shane6115@shane61159 ай бұрын
    • It's a torque converter, not a single clutch. But yeah I agree with your sentiment, from the DCTs I've driven I wouldn't pick one over the ZF8. Its shift speed is easily good enough and it can't be caught with its pants down in manual mode like DCTs can. That being said, I haven't driven a PDK yet so I'll reserve final judgment until the day I will (next week actually). Maybe that's the gearbox that changes my mind.
