宝马在北美车展发布了M2轿跑车。这款1系M轿跑车后继车型采用惹人喜爱的长滩蓝车身涂装。该车定位在2系旗舰车型M235i之上，搭载一台3.0升六缸涡轮增压引擎，功率365马力，扭矩343磅-英尺（约合465牛米），如果激活overboost超增压模式，扭矩可提升至369磅-英尺（约合500牛米）。与引擎搭配的是六速手动变速器，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间4.4秒。如果选装七速双离合器变速器，加速之间缩短至4.2秒。无论搭配何种变速器，最高时速都限制在250公里。如果选装M Driver套装，时速可提升至270公里。这款车配备了取自M3/M4的铝制前后轴和悬挂组件，同时标配M电子助力转向和主动M差速器。由于引擎动力强劲，因此也需要更强劲的制动性能，因此该车配备了更大尺寸前四活塞后两活塞带孔通风盘。除了蓝色涂装，M2还可提供阿尔派白，矿石灰和黑色涂装。该车将在宝马莱比锡工厂投产，将于今年春季在美国上市。

 

BMW M2 races into Detroit with 365 hp

We are live at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and our photographer on duty has immortalized the BMW M2 Coupe.

 

Showcased in a lovely Long Beach Blue paint, the M2 signals BMW’s spiritual successor of the beloved 1 Series M Coupe. The flagship 2 Series sits above the M235i and is equipped with a turbocharged six-cylinder 3.0-liter engine generating 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque. Ideal for overtaking, the motor benefits from an overboost function that will increase torque to 369 lb-ft for a short amount of time.

 

The motor is linked as standard to a six-speed manual to enable a sprint to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. An optional seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox will reduce the sprint to 4.2 seconds. Regardless of choice, there’s an electronic top speed limiter programmed to kick in at 155 mph (250 kph). Go for the optional M Driver’s Package and the limiter is bumped to 168 mph (270 kph).

 

Sourced from the M3 & M4 duo are the aluminum front and rear axles as well as the aluminum suspension components. It comes as standard with an M-prepared electronic power steering system and an Active M Differential. A strong engine requires additional stopping power, so the engineers at M fitted the M2 with larger vented & perforated discs paired to four- and two-piston calipers.

 

Besides the Long Beach Blue metallic paint, BMW also sells the M2 in Alpine White, Mineral Grey, and Black Sapphire. Production commenced back in October at the company’s factory in Leipzig, Germany. There’s no word about how many units BMW plans to assemble, but the total production run will likely surpass the aforementioned 1 Series M Coupe.

 

The BMW M2 is scheduled to hit US dealerships this spring.
