I am sure it does—-they try to engineer the mass and weight of it and i am sure they succeed to some degree!! But having driven even lighter cars I get the feeling like Colin Chapman alluded to that lightness is the key to true handling
F10 M5 is notorious for hiding its ridiculous weight. Tight U turns you need to kick out the rear end on to execute with speed, but any normal road condition is handled with the ease of a much lighter vehicle. Scary, really.
But most people who have driven them agree they don’t drive and feel like pigs. The M2 is quite nimble and hides its weight very well.
