About the M2 G87 480 PS

The 2024 BMW M2 G87 480 PS is a rear-drive turbocharged coupe of 1,780 kg with 473 bhp, which works out at 266 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 266 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.88 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 568th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 33rd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 121.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW M2 G87 480 PS 0-60 time?
The BMW M2 G87 480 PS reaches 60 mph in 3.41 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 568th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW M2 G87 480 PS quarter mile time?
11.61 s at 121.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.55 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.88 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW M2 G87 480 PS have?
473 bhp and 1,780 kg, which is 266 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 285 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW M2 G87 480 PS?
Closest here on pace: Porsche 718 Cayman GTS (3.44 s), Alpine A 110 R 1.8 300 (3.45 s), Bentley Continental GT-3 R Mk II (3.54 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW M2 G87 480 PS in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW M2 G87 480 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
