The 2026 BMW M2 Turbo Design Edition puts heritage centre stage from the moment you clock the Alpine White paintwork and hand-painted BMW Motorsport tricolours sweeping over the bonnet edges, carbon roof and decklid. A black power dome wears the reversed “Turbo” script, a wink to the 2002 Turbo that once loomed large in rear-view mirrors, while Shadowline LED headlights and neat “Turbo” badging complete a compact coupe that looks taut and purposeful.
Power comes from BMW’s 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six, paired with a six-speed manual to keep the connection to the rear axle clean and mechanical. With 473bhp and 406lb ft on tap, the M2 Turbo Design Edition surges to 62mph in a quoted 4.1 seconds and runs to 155mph as standard, with a higher limiter available alongside driver training. Compared with the original 2002 Turbo’s boosted four-cylinder, this modern car delivers a broader torque band and sharper response, yet stays true to the small-car, big-punch brief.
Staggered wheels—19 inches front, 20 inches rear—sit snugly in the arches. The standard M Dual-Spoke 930M set is finished in black, while an eye-catching bronze multi-spoke option brings a motorsport flavour. An M Performance carbon rear spoiler tidies airflow without fuss, and the M2’s compact footprint promises quick direction changes and strong traction out of tight corners.
Inside, the theme blends modern M tech with respectful nods to the past. M sport seats trimmed in Black Vernasca leather carry tricolour highlights to mirror the exterior striping; weight-conscious drivers can specify M Carbon buckets without losing the livery. A heated M Alcantara steering wheel frames the view, the short-throw manual shifter falls naturally to hand, and carbon-fibre trim ties the cabin together. Even the cupholder cover bears a “Turbo” inscription over the famous stripes. Ahead of the driver, Live Cockpit Professional with head-up display keeps speed, revs and navigation cues in the line of sight.
BMW says the M2 Turbo Design Edition will be produced in extremely limited numbers, underlining its status as a carefully considered homage. Production is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2026 with deliveries in early Q2, and the car is due to appear at BMW’s display during Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on 10–11 October 2025. For fans of the 2002 Turbo’s character, this M2 brings the spirit forward—compact dimensions, punchy powertrain and a look that means business.
