The BMW M2 dresses up in style with the M Performance Parts Concept for the Goodwood Festival

The Goodwood Festival has arrived as a magnificent opportunity for the brands, as they have seized the occasion to showcase their vehicles from the past, present and those that will arrive in the not-too-distant future. BMW has done the same with one of its quintessential sports cars, the M2, a model that has been dressed in its finest finery to present them to the whole world. These are the new M Performance Parts Concept, which elevate the German sports car to a futuristic level while keeping its essence as a contemporary vehicle fully intact.

In this way, BMW wants to give us a glimpse of the look of the cars of tomorrow, but in a much more original way by using a current model as a base. The M2 was the ideal candidate to serve as the model, as it has been one of the latest sporting additions from the German brand and is achieving numerous successes within its segment.

BMW has managed to create one of the most iconic models of all time, since the M2 arrives as the direct successor to some of the brand’s most charismatic vehicles. However, BMW wanted to take advantage of the 25th edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed to unveil some very exclusive components that will very soon become part of the German brand’s M range. To this end, the engineers have worked tirelessly on both aerodynamics and weight reduction, two essential characteristics in a true sports car.

Carbon fiber has been the material of choice to bring to life the countless new components that form part of this futuristic yet familiar M2. On one hand, we find a hood made entirely of this lightweight material, which will be available for installation starting this July and which reduces the standard weight of the German sports car by up to 8 kilos. Another element that serves the same purpose is the roof, which is also finished in carbon fiber and reduces the weight of the M2 by 6 kilos. This will be available from March of next year.

The 19-inch Frozen Gold wheels also help the M2 shed another 6 kilos, making it not only much lighter but also more dynamic and agile on the road. Furthermore, the M2’s cabin has also been adorned with carbon fiber, Alcantara and several gold details, an element that is reflected in the rear seats. These have been replaced by two individual seats that will perfectly accommodate their occupants and enhance the M2’s sporty character, as they reduce the weight by 13 kilos.

But last but not least, BMW has also incorporated the M Performance suspension, which can be fitted to production vehicles but fit perfectly on this futuristic M2. This new suspension allows the vehicle’s height to be lowered by up to 20 millimeters, considerably increasing its cornering performance and effectiveness on the road.
