Sport Auto Germany comparo M2 VS TT RS VS 718 S (translated)

From the December edition of Sport Auto Germany. Translated by yours truly, be kind about my translation mistakes ;-). I love German mags, they always are detailed about their evaluations...

That's actually quite something. Beating both the TT-RS and the 718 in the overall as well as being faster around the test track than the 400 hp Audi.

Not only that. It's also the most fun, the most comfortable, the most practical, the cheapest...

Not to mention that it looks so much better than the other two. I'm also happy they used a mineral grey for the test.

^what he said.

The RS is even more expensive than the 718S which by extension, puts it in the same price bracket as the M3/4. What a shocker that the Audi understeers in slow corners.

Call me a fanboy all you want. The M2 has been shown by German reviews to not only compete, but outduel two of the best sports cars Germany has to offer, at least in the sum-of-all-parts and fun factor categories.

If the "base" M2 is so good, I'm curious about the CS version!
I hope we'll not see a large price increase!
