Check out this model car, made by GT Spirit, in a sweet 1/18 scale, inspired by one of BMW's latest compact sports cars, the BMW M2. This generation is called G87 and hit the market starting in 2022. It’s the successor to the F87 that was around from 2015 to 2021. The G87 brings a futuristic design to the table while mixing powerful tech with classic BMW M vibes. The BMW M2 sticks to the compact class tradition but has a sporty edge focused on dynamic driving. The talented designer Marcus Syring crafted the exterior, giving it a bold look with massive proportions that scream performance.
Under the hood, the actual BMW M2 packs a 3.0-liter (3.3-quart) TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine that cranks out 460 horsepower (338 kW) and delivers a torque of 550 Nm (405 lb-ft). You've got a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 8-speed automatic that sends power to the rear wheels. It zips from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in just 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h), which can be upped to 177 mph (285 km/h) with the optional M Drivers Package. The body construction blends lightweight aluminum and steel to keep it nimble, while the wide chassis and adaptive M suspension ensure it hugs the road like a pro. The BMW M2 embodies the tech-savvy spirit of BMW M and continues to prove itself as an icon of sporty driving dynamics.
