Very interesting video!

Cool to see the M2's line up against one another!

In what universe did that last race take place? The 4C is a 13s/107 mph car which takes 11s to reach 100. The M2 is faster but somehow it beat the M2C? Does the 2018 model still only have 237 hp?

Well i do own both and unbiased opinion is that 4c is in fact faster under 100km. Brsides 4c was using launch control.
Love both tho.

Fyi, all 4c regardless of model year are same.
No change whatsoever

Most likely to weight and gearing.

That still doesn't explain the test numbers. M2 traps 110-113. M2C will likely trap 115-117.....M2 mid to high 12s, M2C low to mid 12s.

This particular 4C is tuned.

Interesting because i was told that at the time of this video was filmed, it was not tuned. Only after it was tuned from eurocompulsion.

No way that 4C isn't heavily modified. Those things are turds in a straight line, around 105 trap stock and 110 mph tuned.

lol, I am genuinely curious on this. I am gonna have to test this out myself come summer.

when I bring out 4c out of storage, I will test it out against my other daily m2 and report the result. right now, 0-60mph, 4c would definitely beat m2 hands down but soon after, m2 should be able to reel in and pass it as 4c would be out of breath.
