Can a BMW M2 CS Be More Powerful Than A Ferrari 458 Speciale?

Yes, it definitely can be. But only if it's the tuned version of the BMW CS tuned with the Four-stage power kit. There's a Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 upgrade kit. The car's performance's actually compared with the powerful Ferrari 458 Speciale. Pretty cool, huh?

Let's start with the Stage 1 kit upgrade that comes with software optimization, backed up by the central screw lock for the crankshaft to protect its bi-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six engine. This way you get up to 493 hp and 650 Nm power of torque. Do the math - almost 49 hp and 100 Nm above the standard model's average performance. The kit makes it more potent than the M4 Coupe with its 550 Nm power of torque.

The next Stage 2 kit brings the ECU tune and a stainless steel exhaust system, upgrading the car's performance up to 532 horsepower and 680 Nm power of torque. Meanwhile, the Stage 3 kit brings 562 horsepower and 720 Nm power of torque. 

Almost every M2 CS has been covered with G-Power - new injectors and a turbochargers upgrade delivering up to 651 hp and 800 Nm. Now, this is the truth behind the M2 CS being more powerful than the Ferrari 458 Speciale. Add the Hurricane RR forged wheels, increased V-max, re-mapped transmission software, carbon-fiber engine cover and sports steering wheel are the extra bonuses for the tuning kits. 

You could order the ultimate upgrade kit from Germany for $21,788, including tax.
