In 2011 BMW will launch the newest M5, the super saloon variant of the F10-series new 5-series family. The artist's impression exposes how the hot Five will look at launch next March, after a show presentation in late 2010 or early 2011.
We have the full four-page lowdown from Georg Kacher in the latest January 2010 issue of CAR Magazine, but here are some nuggets to stimulate your appetite:
• 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo
• 578bhp, 530lb ft
• 155mph limited top speed
• 0-62mph 4.4sec
• Unlimited top speed 188mph
That direct-injection 4.4 lump is the same engine you'll find under the hood of the X5 M and X6 M, but further tweaked by M Division to liberate more power. Forced induction makes it the first M saloon to be turbocharged.
