The BMW M2 has broken the Nurburgring lap record for the compact class. The coupe completed the circuit in an impressive time of 7 minutes 38.706 seconds.
The car was driven by Jörg Weidinger, a development engineer for the BMW M team. He took two laps to familiarize himself with the track conditions before attempting the record-breaking lap on his third try.
The second-generation BMW M2 was introduced last year and shares its engine with the M4. The car is powered by a 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine that produces 453 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 177 mph with the optional M Driver’s Package.
