BMW M2 CS shows off as the currently best performing masterpiece of BMW. Further, it prides to be the finest driving bimmer out there. Moreover, this M2 version is probably the most lightweight one. Certainly, the carbon roof and hood contribute to this. As a fine driver, it’s performance is exceptional. But is BMW M2 CS better than Porsche Cayman GTS and Alpine A110 S?
Autocar took these three superb cars through twisty roads. Surely, Autocar had a hard time in this three-way comparison. Nevertheless, the result is very interesting. But first, let us get to know the competition.
Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 runs on a 4.0-liter flat-six producing a decent 400hp. Further, it is the epitome of a sports car. And the six-speed manual gearbox proves just that. Certainly, the satisfying noise along its engine makes this Porsche fun to drive.
On the other hand, the Alpine A110 is hailed as the top sports car in Europe. But then, the A110 S does not meet this standard. The A110 boasted its balance and fluidity, but the S version failed here. Further, it is only powered by 1.8 liters turbocharged four. Basically the least powerful one from its line up. Also, the seven-speed dual-clutch fails to compare with the others. Nevertheless, it is the lightest one with a great body. Therefore, still considered as competition.
Lastly, the BMW M2 CS boasts of its 3.0 liter twin-turbo I6 with 444 horsepower. Also, the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox powers it. Certainly, M2 CS tops in power in this competition. Further, its turbocharged torque makes it a real land rocket. Moreover, this bimmer is the brusquest of the comparison. The way it burns rear tires poses a good reason for this. Compared with the other two, M2 CS drives a different level of sporty.
But is BMW M2 CS better than Porsche Cayman GTS and Alpine A110 S? Well, it was a difficult comparison. Nevertheless, Autocar did its best to compare. In the end, BMW M2 CS ranks as that amazing new friend. That friend you’d surely like more every day, as Autocar concluded.
