BMW has officially unveiled the highly anticipated 2026 M2 CS, delivering a thrilling performance upgrade for enthusiasts and collectors alike. This limited-edition model brings a new level of intensity to the M2 lineup with an impressive 523 horsepower and a blistering 0 to 60 mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds.

Engineered for precision and speed, the 2026 M2 CS benefits from an aggressive weight reduction strategy, shedding nearly 100 pounds compared to its standard counterpart. This was achieved primarily through the extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the body, including the hood, roof, and aerodynamic components, enhancing both performance and handling dynamics.

Under the hood, the turbocharged inline-six engine has been tuned to deliver exceptional power output while maintaining the everyday drivability BMW M fans expect. This power, paired with the lightweight construction, results in a track-capable machine that remains refined enough for the road.

Production of the 2026 BMW M2 CS will begin in August 2025, with a starting price of $98,600 USD. As with previous CS models, availability will be limited, making it a coveted addition to any performance car collection.
