Google language translated review:

"Entrance start / finish, warm-up lap completed, now it counts. While the CS is chasing the start / finish straight, we quickly mention the lightweight carbon center console, which should also weigh 50 percent less. Also noteworthy CS details in the interior: the optional M sports steering wheel with a non-slip Alcantara cover and the M sports seats, which cry out for a quick lap with the optimum seating position and gripping side support.

But now focus on the lap time - the M2 CS has already taken the north curve with a smile and is now sprinting towards Turn 2. Boah, what a move. Fresher, scratched up and more motivated - the CS engine not only looks subjectively much more potent than the 410 HP competition engine. The M2 CS accelerates 2.3 seconds faster to 200 km / h than the M2 Competition.

Braking on Turn 2. Ideally, you brake late into the sharp right. Thanks to the mixture of the high grip level of the cup tires and the well-applied ABS control, you can brake into the curve much later with the M2 CS than with the M2 Competition, which is known to be the standard Michelin Pilot tires Super sports wear.

At the end of the parabolics, it also shows how well the cup tires and the ABS tuning harmonize. In the slightly rising and undulating braking zone, the top speed of 250 km / h up to 43 km / h at the apex of the hairpin. The M2 CS does the trick very well. In combination with the direct steering front axle, it is a great pleasure to thresh the Hardcore-M2 into the curve.

The CS steers right in, jagged - wonderful! One notices that the developers have once again adapted springs and adaptive dampers specifically for the CS.

Already during the turn-in process one should mentally prepare for a steering correction when accelerating out. Simply stepping on the gas from the apex does not work because the M2 CS tends to override performance. Also when accelerating out of turn 8 and then when turning left to right in turn 10, a sensitive gas foot is required.

Driving fun coordination
Direct steering with a crisp Sport-Plus hand torque meets a bright rear axle - even in the Motodrom, the agility of the M2 CS is somewhat reminiscent of an old-school sports car that demands a little talent on the steering wheel for a quick lap. With a slightly lower air pressure on the rear than on the front axle, the balance can be trimmed to a more neutral driving behavior. In the development, however, the decision was deliberately made to match driving fun.

Pit stop after the M2 CS set a fantastic lap time. At 1.54.8 minutes, he undercuts the lap time of the M2 Competition by 3.1 seconds. Big respect!"
