Here it is: The all-new, second-gen BMW M2

Before we all descend into madness discussing the new M2’s looks, let’s talk numbers.

The all-new BMW M2 comes powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six good for 453 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 406 lb.-ft. of torque at 2650-5870 rpm.

A six-speed manual comes standard, though buyers can opt for an eight-speed automatic.

Measuring in at roughly 180 inches long, 74 inches wide and 55 inches tall, the new M2 weighs in at 3814 pounds when equipped with the manual gearbox. (Add 53 pounds for the auto box.)

As far as wheels and tires, the BMW is fitted with 9.5 x 19-inch wheels up front and 10.5 x 20-inch wheels out back shod in 275/35 ZR19 and 285/30 ZR20 tires, respectively.

BMW says the new car will only take 3.9 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill when equipped with the auto, or 4.1 seconds if you stick with the manual.

Starting price for all this? $62,200–plus a $995 destination and handling fee, of course.

Now that all that is out of the way, we’ll let you discuss aesthetics.
