A More Powerful Powertrain
Lightweight with a Lower Center of Gravity
The M4 CS has completed its Emissions and Noise Certification, yet it is still awaiting fuel efficiency certification.

Similar to the existing M4, it features an inline 6-cylinder turbo engine, capable of delivering a maximum output of 550 horsepower and a peak torque of 66.3 kgf.m.

Extensive Use of Carbon Fiber
Expected Selling Price?
Carbon fiber has been generously applied to various body parts, including the bonnet, front splitter, air intakes, mirror caps, and roof. This not only reduces weight but also enhances the vehicle’s aesthetics. Inside, carbon fiber is used in the center console, steering wheel paddle shifters, and other trim elements. Utilizing Carbon M carbon bucket seats are heated and designed for comfort, allowing for both high-performance track driving and everyday use without discomfort.
The CS symbol conveys a racing machine allure, and while it features Yellow DRL Headlights, it is likely domestic sales may not include this due to regulations. The M4 CS with laser lights is expected to be priced around 160 million won. It is anticipated that this new model will be released as a limited edition.
