This is the new BMW M2 CS, revealed in a rather surprise announcement as the company unfurls its very lavish tent at the 2025 Villa d’Este concours. And in even more surprising news, it’ll feature a reworked 3.2-litre naturally-aspirated straight-six from an E46 M3, get a proper six-speed manual and limited slip diff, and weigh less than 1,200kg.
No, scratch that. It’ll get a new V8, free of turbos and full of nat-asp song, redlining right up to 9,000rpm. No, even better. It’ll feature a V12 in the middle, a carbon fibre tub and a prayer book.
