    Lightweight Performance BMW M2 Competition Ready To Tackle M2 CS

    BMW took the covers off the M2 CS last year and the reviews confirm it could be the sweetest spot BMW M has ever hit.

    If you have an M2 Competition already and you want to take things to the CS level, Lightweight Performance has a solution that might work for you.

    The tuner has replaced various components with lightweight items, fettling the suspension for better dynamic performance and including a power upgrade for more straight-line go.

    The S55 turbo straight-six delivers 405 hp (302 kW) in stock form but LP has cranked it up to 487 hp (363 kW) and 654 Nm of torque. That is more than enough to surpass the 450 hp (330 kW) delivered by the M2 CS.

    Out goes the steel roof for a carbon fibre item, reducing weight by 6.5 kg whilst lowering the centre of gravity for better handling. The new exhaust system not only improves the soundtrack but also lowers weight by another 7 kg, while a set of 19-inch forged wheels also contribute to a 30 kg overall reduction in weight.

    A front splitter, diffuser, GTS-style bonnet and rear wing finished in carbon fibre improves downforce as well as presence.

    Wrapping up the changes sees some Bilstein Clubsport coilovers fitted and 265 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S rubber for ultimate traction.

    The results? Well, the tuner recorded a 1:31.16 lap time around the Sachsenring in Germany, substantially quicker than the 1:34.97 of the new M2 CS.

    Pricing for the kit begins at €20,000 (approx. R400k) before any special requests.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦 

Nothing confirmed by Toyota SA as of yet but here is the 224 kW GR Corolla!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
