Gurugram: The all-new BMW M2, a car which offers ultra-sporty look with high performance, was launched in India today.
This compact two-door, four-seater high-performance sports car will be available in the country as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) model from today onwards, the company said.
A highly potent inline 6-cylinder engine works alongside superb Adaptive M Suspension that is designed to maximize road contact and traction in all driving situations, it said.
BMW Group India President Vikram Pawah said, “The all-new BMW M2 embodies an unadulterated racing passion that owners can enjoy day in, day out. It builds on the brand’s tradition of ultra-sporty models with compact dimensions.
“The expressive looks of the all-new BMW M2 act as a clear signpost to sporty driving pleasure and stem primarily from its extremely powerful proportions.”
He added that the car melds extraordinary speed with maximum control ensuring a smooth, dynamic drive no matter how far you push the limits.
The all-new BMW M2 is available in a petrol variant at an ex-showroom price of INR 98,00,000.
The all-new BMW M2 comes as standard with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic that offers extremely sporty gear shifts.
The broadly spread gears assist efficiency while enabling an intense build-up of power from low road speeds.
The driver can access three clearly distinct setups – comfort oriented, sports focused, or track optimized, the company said.
As an option its six-cylinder in line engine can also link up with a six-speed manual gearbox creating a performance experience in the classical mould, rooted in the intense interaction between the driver and car.
This is the first time ever that BMW is offering a manual transmission in the Indian market.
The gear ratios and gear spread are perfectly matched to the performance characteristics of the engine.
A precisely defined shift action enables rapid, easily executed gear changes.
Plus, the Gear Shift Assistant uses engagement speed control to ensure slip-free operation when downshifting under braking into corners.
