EDIT: added: hot lap video
(note: 02:05 = M2 CS test car goes into 'limp mode' on its way to the finish due to low fuel)



EDIT: added: about test circumstances (based on info mentioned in the data sheet)
  • the tested M2 Competition: M-DCT, weighed 1631 kg (full tank of fuel included), apparently had no M Driver's Package (because data sheet notes V-max of 250 km/u (stock: electronically limited V-max) - Parabolika speed 232 km/h), featured steel brakes (2NH M Sport Brakes), was sitting on Pilot Super Sport tires, likely on 19" 788M wheels (no info specified), and was driving in 1°C/34°F air temp + 1°C/34°F track temp and 1020 mbar air pressure;
  • the tested M2 CS: M-DCT, weighed 1588 kg (full tank of fuel included), went into 'limp mode' on its way to the finish due to low fuel (running on empty = minimum fuel weight), apparently had M Driver's Package (because data sheet notes V-max of 280 km/h (delimited V-max) - Parabolika speed 248 km/h), featured M-CCB (carbon ceramic brakes), was sitting on Cup 2 tires fitted on lightweight 19" 763M wheels, and was driving in 32°C/90°F air temp + 53°C/127°F track temp and 1015 mbar air pressure.
