When it comes to epic car battles, it's hard to dispute greatness of the BMW 1M vs. the Porsche Cayman R reviews. There's a handful of reasons for this but it always seems to boil down to a handful of key points:
1. Price;
2. Engine;
3. Track times;
4. Overall driving experience; and,
5. It's clear that these two vehicles are pure and lack many of the things people find revolting, even in today's exotica and other high-performance machines.
Those cars, however, are old hat. The changing of the guard has happened. That said, when I saw a clip of the all-new M2 versus the Porsche Cayman S, I knew I had to bring it to you.
This is yet another close review; however, we are interested in which auto you would pick. Would it be the BMW or the Porsche? What say you, Spies?
So we’ve taken a BMW M2 and a Porsche 718 Cayman S. And we’d like to know two things: which of these two German sports coupes is faster around our handling circuit, and which of them is more fun.
The M2 is front-engined and has a straight-six cylinder turbocharged engine making 365bhp. The 718 Cayman S, though, is mid-engined – a more racy layout – but these days has to make do with a mere four-cylinder engine, albeit one making 345bhp. Our testers are standing by to answer both questions.
Let us know if you'd have the Cayman or the M2 in the comments below...
