They did call out the 718 is significantly more expensive. In AU, it's a 70k difference, roughly 45k USD equivalent.

Just the fact that the M2 is being compared to it is a testament of how much performance it has on track. It does what the Cayman GTS does, but carrying a family and Costco groceries, costing a fraction of a GTS. This is the allure of BMW and why we stick to it.

All I got from that video is that the 718 is overpriced...

people underestimate how much an advantage cup/track tires give.
hopefully TH eventually gets a manual car on regular tires soon.

Question about the bmw launch control: there is no way to select the launch RPM? I remember in the previous generations there was a switch, you could set 2500, 3000, ...
The GTS is rated at a 4.7s 0-60 and G87vat 3.9, both conservatively. It should have won that drag race. |

Also, yes the G87 should have won that roll race, the car is at a minimum 500 HP, probably somewhere between 500 and 550. Also, one thing to note is that track times will vary on different times of day let alone different days. Meaning, unless you take every car on their list and race them at the same time, the list is just for fun. Which is what this channel is, it's pure entertainment and I actually love it.

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...y-the-numbers/ 0-60 in 3.8, and trap speed of 120. its similar the G87. But mid engine and no turbo usually result in a more consistent launch. the ecu can make minor adjustments to throttle since there is no turbo to keep spooled up

So much this. I won't daily drive a GTS. Even if the GTS was significantly faster, it wouldn't change my calculus.
