BMW has unveiled an even more powerful version of
their M4, the BMW M4 CS and the car comes with 460 horsepower. The BMW M4 CS
comes with some impressive performance, the car has a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 3.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 278 km/h.
The new BMW M4 CS is equipped as standard with the
seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic. This
cutting-edge transmission has a separate oil cooler and enables both automated
gear changes and manual interventions using the shift paddles on the steering
wheel. It changes gears in fractions of a second with no interruption in the
flow of power, but employs a long seventh gear to keep revs low and minimise
fuel consumption over longer motorway journeys.
The suspension of the new BMW M4 CS largely mirrors
that of the M4 with Competition Package. The links and wheel carriers at both
the front and rear axles are made from forged aluminium and are therefore
extremely light. That keeps the unsprung masses low and benefits driving
dynamics.
The M4 CS is fitted as standard with Adaptive M suspension whose
geometry has been tuned to deliver optimised performance on both the road and
track. The new BMW M4 CS has also been honed on the most demanding test track
of them all for high-performance sports cars: the legendary Nürburgring
Nordschleife. Its ’Ring lap time of 7 min. 38 sec. puts the CS in super-sports
car territory.
BMW M4 CS prices start at € 116,000.
