The new BMW M2 is HERE, and we’re putting git up against some of its biggest rivals! The question is, does BMW’s smallest M car have a chance against the likes of AMG, Audi & Porsche?
Well, it’s time to find out! Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by Audi’s glorious 2.5-litre 5 cylinder turbo engine that can produce 400hp and 500Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox. It weighs in at 1,570kg, and if you’re looking to pick one up it’ll cost you around £54,000.
To its right we have the recently revised Mercedes-AMG A45 S. It’s packing a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo under the bonnet that can put down 421hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,550kg. It’s a bit more expensive than the Audi, too, costing around £63,000.
On the far side we have the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS. It’s the most expensive car here, coming in at £75,300! What’s more, it’s also the least powerful car here, with the 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six producing 400hp and 430Nm. This power is only sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, however, it’s also the lightest car here, coming in at just 1,435kg.
Then finally we have the all-new BMW M2. It’s equipped with a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six, and as a result, it’s the most powerful car here, putting down 460hp and 550Nm of torque! Just like the Porsche this power is sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and a new one today will cost around 1,720kg. However, it’s by far the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 1,720kg!
So how will this one play out - will the weight difference prove decisive? Or will the M2’s extra power push it to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Mat here - should I get Yianni to do the stats for ALL the cars next race?
-
Yanni did the unthinkable, he got the stats exactly on point
-
Blacked out M2 actually looks better than I thought it would
-
Safe to say launch control with rwd cars has vastly improved. That M2 is a beast from a roll.
-
The M2 is insane… It’s my pick by a long shot.. Lets all agree that porsche did a beautiful job on that boxster.
-
Stats on point 😉….
-
Man that naturally aspirated porsche doing well against turbo charged cars is a mechanical master piece
-
The power of BMW and Porsche is truly shown in this race👍
They are tremendous cars🎉 -
What BMW is doing with the performance on their cars is amazing👌

-
This is not only a car show it’s a comedy show too since y’all make me laugh so much 😂
-
I’m not gonna lie, I’m glad Yianny has been popping up in drag races more often. You two have some good chemistry going on!
-
If they make a competition package of that M2, it’s going to be mental. The new body style will grow on me, just glad they toned the kidney grill down a bit. Great race!!
-
Sir Mat Watson, there is still no popup-banner in your videos. Thank you for this fun video anyway. That BMW rocks. 👍🥇🏎
-
Awesome video! that 4 multicam edit at 1:30 was wicked! The editors should put that in more often, like at the braking test the moment you reach the line or something like that.
-
I love my saturday morning drag races with carwow. Blacked out M2 actually looks better than I thought it would.
-
You'd think by now they'd fly a drone above the finish line to show a top down view for close races like this.
-

-
