It might have been the initial aim (before Porsche published the time for the 992 GT3 a year ago), but they might have eventually realized it was not achievable given the constraints.

Yes, the aim was obviously a better number for one or more likely both of power and weight. Because to clarify the whispers I heard was a time around the 992 GT3’s as we know it.

There seems to more to it than just power-to-weight. As we discussed previously, official power ratings between NA and FI engines cannot be directly compared. For example, the M4CSL out accelerates the 992 GT3 in 100-200km/h acceleration (7.0s vs 7.4s) despite having an on paper power-to-weight disadvantage. IMO, the chassis (handling) was also a likely limiting factor.

ETA: 24 months But if I had missed the CSL I would of definitely tried to grab an M3CS ! With cars retaining such a good value these days (who knows how long it's going to last) I see no reason not to try and buy the best model possible, the M4 I have now is great but I'd like it to be even better, buying it I already knew it would be a transition car anyways. It just so happens I'll beat the hell out of it all summer long

This one will be a keeper, as soon as they announce electric 718s it's gone sky-up ! Congrats to you.

There's rumours also of a 718 Spyder RS which will be more desirable for some. The GT3 RS (and GT2 RS) will also follow…. so plenty of cars to keep the GT market happy for the foreseeable future. |

I suspect BMW was initially aiming for around 600 hp but either ran into issues keeping it enough civilized for the street with reasonable maintenance intervals etc. Or they had hybridization in mind but abandoned it. It could also be that the launched CSL was never intended for more and that internally the hommage is part of the CSL project and that it will be competitive with the GT3, for a minor fee of course Any how it is what it is now and further comparisons with the GT3 or speculations are rather pointless. Better to continue down the path of understanding what it is and how it compares as a street car and track day weapon. Last edited by solstice; 06-03-2022 at 09:57 AM.. |

Lots of nonsense here. I do think the fact that the CSL is compared to a benchmark (GT3) that is in a different league is a positive. There is nothing performance wise in the CSL that you couldn't match dumping less dollars in a base M4. From an investment standpoint there is a decent probability this car will hold its value, at the very least not depreciate as much as the base model. It's not a dollar per unit of performance proposition. There is a large market of BMW enthusiasts who (dare I say) have no interest in Porsche (or Ferrari, or Lamborghini, etc). Time will tell, but in this market smart money is looking for inflation resistant assets such as collectible art, cars etc.
