At this point, it
feels like every major tuning company has something in store for the BMW M2
Competition. However, it’s G-Power that you’ll want to pay attention to, as
they have come up with a performance kit that unlocks a massive output.
By modifying the
turbochargers, adding an aftermarket exhaust system, remapping the ECU and
making a few other adjustments, the tuner has obtained a whopping 680 PS and 860 Nm of torque. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo,
six-cylinder thus delivers an extra 270 PS and 310 Nm of torque compared to the stock unit.
You can forget
about mixing it with M3s and M4s, because this M2 Competition now has higher
aspirations. It goes from naught to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and
maxes out at just a little over 330 km/h. That’s only 0.2 seconds
slower than the discontinued 670 PS and 760 Nm of
torque Ferrari 488 GTB, which has an identical top speed.
Opting for these
upgrades won’t burn a massive hole in your pockets either. For the entire
bundle, G-Power is asking about € 20,000 (US$ 22,467). Add that to the base price
of the M2 Competition in Germany and you could upgrade to the larger M4 Coupe,
whose 3.0-liter, straight-six engine, with twin turbocharging, produces 431 PS and 550 Nm of torque. But then you won’t be able
to challenge any exotics machines. Decisions, decisions…
