How hard are you disappointed to know that 455hp is actually more power output than the F87 top dog (M2 CS aka M2 €$) ? |
Well the G80 offers 100 HP more than the F80 and along with AWD, is about a second faster in measures like 0-100 and 1/4 mile.
Since we don't get AWD in the new M2 and weight has gone up a few hundred lbs while HP is only up 40 HP, it's likely to be a wash in terms of acceleration (or close). I would have liked to have seen a bigger improvement in the next gen.
My F80 has 425 HP (on paper) but weighs significantly less and I would have liked a measurable increase in performance in my next car, of which the M2 is near the top. Hopefully the torque curve of the S58 makes up some difference.
Not sure why I needed to explain this. |
For most petrol heads, a car is a driving fun facilitator: it's not about what you got, but about what you can do with it.
