Why does the BMW M4 have a lower top speed than the Porsche 911?

I've noticed that the BMW M4 has a lower top speed compared to its rival, the Porsche 911. Is there a reason for this?

The BMW M4 and Porsche 911 have different design philosophies. The M4 is meant to be agile and focused on performance in corners, while the 911 prioritizes top speed and straight-line acceleration. So, the lower top speed of the M4 is a trade-off for its exceptional handling.

The M4 has a smaller engine than the 911, which means it has less power and a lower top speed. However, this also means that the M4 is more fuel efficient and has better weight distribution, giving it an advantage on the track.
