Well, you can fit plenty in the GT4 too as it does have 14.9 cubic ft of space between the two trunks. The M2 CS only has 13.8 cubic ft in its trunk by comparison. The GT4 is practical enough to get plenty of groceries if you so wish.

Either way, the performance delta (718 GT4 is faster than the 500 hp M4 GTS too by a good amount) here is pretty massive and only larger once the GT4 gets PDK. I would like to see an M2C with Cup2s and see how close it is to the CS (maybe within 2-3 seconds?) since I think most of the delta there is down to tires. I'm just not sure the CS moniker proves to be worth the massive premium over the Competition. It looks good, but the performance is not a huge step up beyond stickier tires.
People claimed the 718 GT4 wasn't going to be a huge step over the 981 GT4, but it has proven to be a different league of performance.

One could also argue that a Panamera turbo (not turbo S) on summer tires which ran 7:38 in 2017 and the M5C which did a couple seconds faster recently, are equally impressive in that they are 4500 lb cars. And just today, 2020 Panamera did 7:29. Wow.
