BMW M4 CS: Good news...

BMW's M4, soon acquires a stronger version with the two capital Latin CSs, which takes place below the GTS. This is the most powerful M4 in production, especially now that the GTS doesn't even exist for a sample. Deep bow to the blue and white propeller…

The heart of the new CS is the 3-liter six-cylinder in-line twin-turbo gasoline engine that produces 460 horsepower and almost 61,0 kgm of torque to the rear wheels. Externally, you will distinguish the mighty CS, from the carbon hood, the iconic spoiler, the impressive rear diffuser, but also the enormous wheels (19 inches forward, 20 back).
The German brand talks about weight savings 32 kg compared to the M4, this was also helped by the interior with lighter seats and upholstery. On to the performance now, the 100 km/h from stop come to 3,9 sec, with the help of a seven-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic transmission. The top speed reaches the 280 km/h.
More in the coming year, when we will see her rolling her beastly wheels on the European roads or better on the tracks, where he breathes better and feels like a fish in his own water.
