New super saloon from BMW


If you have a spare €212,000 burning a hole in your pocket and you fancy a tyres-smoking motor, you can put in an order for a new special edition BMW, writes Brian Byrne.

The BMW M3 CS will have a 550hp engine with an eight-speed auto and AWD. A 0-100km/h sprint of 3.4 seconds will be achievable.

The car features  carbon fibre-reinforced plastic in its construction to give a very lightweight body, and the chassis technology will be specially tuned to the performance potential.

Right hand drive markets launch is in March.

With a rated range of up to 545km (real-life use may not achieve that) the car offers a model option to its SUV sibling, and a 570L boot capacity is only 15L less. Skoda Ireland says the Enyaq Coupe's launch here was delayed by 12 months because of demand worldwide, and demand for Skoda's EV still continues to outstrip supply. There is a choice of two battery sizes, rear- and all-wheel drive, plus power outputs ranging from 180hp to 265hp.

Targeting the competition of a range of cars available here, the key ones in the SX4 S-Cross's sights are Renault’s Captur, Skoda’s Kamiq, and Peugeot’s 2008. Visually it looks rather more car than any of those, a trick of the very strongly-designed new front. Sheetmetal changes on the profile and rear are also significant in successful modernising of the previous car introduced in 2016. Bigger it may look, but the key dimensions remain the same as on the outgone model. The biggest difference inside is a new dashboard design, executed in high quality materials and including a neatly sized high definition centre screen that isn’t overly cluttered with information. What it does display is a credit to good graphics d...
