M2 Racer will likely replace M240i Racing Cup.
According to a rumor first published by BMW blog, the BMW M2 CS could be used to create a track-honed racing version known as the Track Cup. Engineers in the M division might push the competition variant’s 3.0-liter twin turbo engine to around 445 horsepower (332 kW), rather than the expected 445-hp (332 kW) output of the road car.
The Track Cup racing M2 would have a more stripped-down interior, adjustable suspension, more aggressive aerodynamic elements, and revised brakes that can withstand prolonged use on a circuit, as opposed to the roadgoing M2.
According to the latest reports, the M division will take the already-road-legal BMW M2 CS and make it even more meaner by adding a carbon fibre roof. Spy shots (above), show a more aggressive front fascia, prominent rear diffuser and large trunk lid spoiler. Set of 19-inch forged wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires should give you plenty of grip. Buyers could choose between a dual-clutch manual transmission or an automatic dual-clutch gearbox. Optional carbon-ceramic brakes are also possible.
The M2 CS will debut in 2019, and go on sale for 2020. BMW has yet to release any teasers about the sporty model. This suggests that it won’t be unveiling it at the Geneva Motor Show next week. It is possible that a racing version will be unveiled after the road-legal model, if this rumor is true.
