It’s time for an all-German 3-way drag race!

Mat’s in the all-new BMW M2 ‘lite’, the M240i, and he’s facing off against an RS3 saloon and an AMG CLA 45 S!

When you look at the stats on paper, you may think the M240i is the underdog. After all, with a 3-litre straight-six under the bonnet, it can put down 374hp & 500Nm. In comparison, the RS3 & AMG come equipped with a 2.5-litre turbo & a 2-litre turbo, which can put down 400hp & 421hp respectively!
