BMW M2 GTS
BMW is reportedly working on a lighter,
faster derivative of the M2 Coupe, which could be named the GTS or even resurrect
the CSL moniker.
German magazine Auto Motor und Sport
reports that the company has green-lighted a stripped, track-focused version of
the M2 Coupe with more horses under the bonnet.
The new hardcore version will probably
feature lighter body panels made out of carbon-fiber accompanied by a more
aggressive aero package and close to 400 hp from an updated version of the
turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six engine.
Other revisions include the removal of
sound-deadening material and that of the rear seats. The chassis will gain an
adjustable suspension and bigger, more powerful brakes to take advantage of the
lighter body and the increased power levels.
We are still not sure if BMW is indeed
prepping a fully blown CSL/GTS version of the M2 Coupe but we sure don’t mind
if they do. Given that the company is celebrating its 100th birthday this year,
it will be only appropriate for BMW and its fans to launch a special car like
this.
