Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 6th of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s), 4th of 16 in Power-to-weight (287 hp/t). 6th of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.2 s), 4th of 16 in Power-to-weight (287 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,0 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 3.9 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (1st with 307 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.2 s 0-100 (6th of 16 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M4 Competition Coupe ranks 6th of 16 in 0–100 km/h, 0.3 s off the reference Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (3.9 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (14th of 16 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 307 km/h.
