Nor does it make sense for it to be a Carrera S competitor when that job is pretty much the M3/M4's. And by the same logic you used, the M2 would be a M3/M4 competitor, so you would have a care competing not only with the Carrera S, but with it's bigger brother as well. BMW/M ain't going for that.
With the size of the F8x platform, I don't see it as a 911 competitor. The 911 is more of a sportscar, the F8x is a GT.
