With a 0-62 time of 3.4 seconds, and 553 pound-feet of torque, it's the quickest, most powerful M5 yet.
The wait is over. Following a series of leaked images and video, spy shots, and teasers, the new BMW M5 is officially here – and it’s powerful. Using an updated version of the outgoing version’s 4.4-liter biturbo V8, the new M5 produces an impressive 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts) between 5,600 and 6,700 rpm, and 553 pound-feet (750 Newton-meters) of maximum torque. That number is up from the 575 hp (428 kW) and 500 lb-ft (677 Nm) of torque found on the previous model.
With all that added power, the new M5 can sprint to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in just 3.4 seconds, and will continue on to a top speed of 155 mph (250 kmh)… or 189 mph (305 kmh) if you remove the limiter. Power is routed through a new eight-speed M Steptronic automatic gearbox, with a trio of optional driving modes: Efficient, Sport, and Sport Plus. Power is sent to all four wheels via an M xDrive system, with the option to cycle between 4WD, 4WD Sport, and 2WD, and even the ability to turn off the stability control entirely.
