BMW is working on a hardcore M2 CS, but that won’t be the only option as spy photographers have snapped the 2024 AC Schnitzer ACS2 Sport at Spa-Francorchamps. Based on the BMW M2, the car has been given an aggressive makeover that sees the coupe outfitted with canards and an attention grabbing front splitter. They’re joined by revised intakes that feature fin-like elements.
The changes continue further back as the
ACS2 Sport has been equipped with front fender ‘wings’ and bronze wheels.
They’re joined by a fixed rear wing, a new diffuser, and what could be an
aftermarket exhaust. The model also has revised side skirts, a roof-mounted
spoiler, and plenty of AC Schnitzer badging.
The changes will likely be more than skin
deep and we can expect a sportier suspension as well as improved performance.
There’s no word on specifics, but the AC Schnitzer performance upgrade for the
M240i boosts the output from 369 hp to 414 hp while also adding an extra 100 Nm of torque to bring the total
to 600 Nm.
While the numbers for the ACS2 Sport
remain a mystery, the standard M2 has a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo
six-cylinder engine developing 453 hp and 550 Nm of torque. This enables the model to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in as
little as 3.9 seconds, before hitting a top speed of up to 285 km/h.
We could learn more shortly as spy
photographers suggested the coupe could debut at the Essen Motor Show late this
year.
