Following the official reveal of the hardcore M2 CS,
BMW Motorsport has announced its racing sibling that’s been named the M2 CS Racing. The new M2 CS Racing is powered
by the 3.0-liter straight-six S55 engine, producing between 280 HP and 365 HP,
depending on the Balance of Performance or Permit B classification. Moreover,
it sports a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that has been fitted with
motorsport-spec software.
The new customer racer from BMW shares the same
electronics with the bigger M4 GT4, including the ability to switch its output
via power sticks depending on the aforementioned Balance of Performance. BMW
Motorsport is already working on an upgrade package that will lift the engine’s
output to 450 HP.
The M2 CS Racing also features a mechanical Drexler
limited-slip differential with separate cooling, motorsport-grade wheel
bearings for the rear axle, special engine mounting, three-level adjustable
anti-roll bars and ZF Sachs motorsport dampers accompanied with three spring
options.
Prices start from 95,000 euros before taxes (US$ 105k) and the first deliveries are expected to take place
from mid 2020. The new race car is compatible to compete in several series around
the world, including the VLN Endurance Championship Nurburgring and the TC
America.
