This limited-run BMW M2 pays homage to the 1970s
What's the story
BMW has unveiled a special edition of its popular M2 model, the M2 Turbo Design Edition. The new car pays homage to the iconic 2002 Turbo from 1974-75, a model that played a pivotal role in establishing BMW as a leader in high-performance cars. The M2 Turbo Design Edition features the same tricolor livery as the original 2002 Turbo, making it an instant classic for fans of retro design.
Aesthetic appeal
The car features hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes
The Turbo Design Edition comes in a striking Alpine White color with hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes on both ends. The tricolor design runs across the hood and trunk lid, with an offset stripe running across the length of the carbon fiber roof. The car also features a black "Turbo" graphic on its Power Dome and a subtle carbon fiber spoiler on its trunk lid.
Interiors
It gets 'M2 turbo' script on door sill plates
The interior of the M2 Turbo Design Edition has also been updated to match its exterior design. It features "M2 turbo" script on door sill plates and a prominent "Turbo" logo just ahead of the shifter. The M Sport seats are upholstered in Black Vernasca Leather with a signature tricolor M accent. For those who want an even sportier look, optional M Carbon bucket seats with similar tricolor detailing are available.
Powertrain
A look at the engine
The BMW M2 Turbo Design Edition is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, producing an impressive 473hp and 551Nm of torque. The car can go from 0-100km/h in just 4.1 seconds. Staying true to the spirit of the original model, this special edition comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission for an authentic driving experience.
Market launch
