On the subject of the M brand, whose sales increased by 24% year-on-year in September, Van Binsbergen said it sees no relinquishing in the brand’s appeal that currently holds a 20% share of the market compared to arch rivals Mercedes-AMG and Audi Sport.“M Fest is not about us, but because our fans make it a success. It is [therefore] a reward for their loyalty and passion that is the biggest M Fest [in the world],” he said.
Only 1 000 models will be worldwide with all 15 destined for South Africa already being accounted for. Arguably the model that attracted most of the national media’s attention, especially in the bespoke Zandvoort Blue that will be one of five colours available, the others being Alpine White, Sapphire Black Metallic, Brooklyn Grey Metallic and Toronto Red, the M2 keeps hold not only of the rear-wheel-drive CLAR platform, but also the six-speed manual gearbox that will be offered in South Africa alongside the eight-speed Steptronic.
