What about the idea of an M2 "Gentleman's Racer" edition ?

Would be cool if they did a CS light type of thing. Like CS bodykit + power + wheels and tires but std interior with all the comfort features.

Pretty sure people said that about the GT3 touring. "Why wouldn't you just get the fastest track focused GT3?!?" Well, because you want something that's nearly as fast around a track but you can enjoy daily driving, that also has some style and class. I would totally rock one of these.

that's different because it has a huge functional wing. The m2 doesn't have anything to lose, besides weight.

It would be more accurate to say the m2cs is the touring version.

Put a functional wing on it and now it's the gt3 version.

What about a wooden "gentleman's wing"?

Why green, cream or brown? I could maybe see the green, but brown and cream scream "elderly" not "gentleman". I feel like I could be classified as a "gentleman" to some degree and I would not ever order a brown or cream colored car on purpose. Cool idea though, I would need other colors

For the original poster, here you go! It does look more mature in green than bright blue

I'd buy that.

This, with a cohiba interior would be perfect.

Now that looks good with Gold Rims 😁

Somebody posted on the forum a British Racing Green wrap they did on their OG M2. I thought it looked pretty good and would buy that color. The rest of your suggestions, meh.

I'd honestly prefer this on a Miata or S2000 successor(if that ever happens), because it fits those cars more and is a throwback to British roadsters of yore. On the M2C this combo wouldn't be my style, but to each their own.

JTO24 · 11-19-2019, 08:30 AM

I get where you're coming from, OP (and I do love a good green over tan combo) but a softer-edged CS would just be the normal M2C. There's not enough room between the two models in terms of aggression and NVH, IMO.

for me, the M2C does not equal Carrera C2S and the M2 CS does not equal GT3. The differences between the two M2s is more like Carrera C2S and GTS, IMO.

I have a neighbor that recently bought a GT3 touring. I need to go for a ride in it, and see just how punishing the it is.

I like the idea that the OP posted, however, I never buy "special edition" cars, watches or anything else because the price premium is just not worth it and you never get it back in resale.

I take that back - I did once buy a special edition Z4 used, and although I got a heck of a deal on it (I thought) in the end, I got hosed, resale-wise. Stupid car.

This just makes me want individual color options for the M2...problem solved for all!
