BMW M2 v Porsche Cayman GT4 v Alpine A110 R (evo mag)

Post by mik »

Since it is shared publically.....

Manuel GT4 would be my choice from that trio.

Yes. Eye-test passed ;)

edit: I think the difference is due to aero requirements

Thankfully your choice is the correct choice.

Correct choice Mik. I have no interest in the M2 and the A110R just doesn't make sense to me where an A110 does.

From that selection the GT4 is the only correct answer Shirley?
Cheers,

I wouldn't have a GT4 as my choice of 982 spec and I wouldn't have the A110 R as my choice of A110 spec. So I couldn't choose between them but I'd have either over the M2.

I've not read it yet, but it seems a little odd to put a £60k 4 seater in with two £80-90k hardcore versions of 2 seater coupes?

Agree. The M2 is aimed at a completely different market. Id see the M2 more as a daily.

exactly, i think most ///Ms are designed to be daily driven and obviously have the compromises to do so.

I guess they saw the old CS in the mix with GT4s and more exotic stuff and thought it was worth including as a wildcard.

Agreed. I would have taken a GT4 in a heartbeat over an M2, but no rear seats and $65k premium (Australian$) puts in a different category for me
