Auto Shanghai 2011: BMW unveils the new M5

The management of the M GmbH says today: A business sedan in the premium segment with the dynamic qualities of a high-performance sports car. This traditional concept is reinterpreted with the world premiere of the BMW Concept M5. At Auto Shanghai (21 to 28 April 2011), the sporty BMW-daughter shows initially as a study "camouflaged" the new M5 will be launched in autumn on the market.

And the makers of the fast "M" drumming strong, they want to show how the athletic design and race-inspired character of a BMW M car with the aesthetic and functional characteristics of a sedan can be combined upper-middle class. "Allows the BMW Concept M5 offers expressive and distinctive design elements to derive the exceptional dynamic driving potential of the sedan." Under the hood will the first time a high-revving V8 engine with twin-power turbo technology for superior performance performance .

ensure The eight-cylinder engine whose base is already in the X5 M and X6 M shows his work is impressive, even in the new M5 can be used. From 4.4-liter engine to 560 hp and a torque of 680 Nm ensure appropriate performance. The force is transmitted via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Optical drives the M5 Sedan remains rather understated. With that the E 63 AMG Mercedes-Benz a real competitor. But has already announced in summer a revised E 63 AMG, which need fear no comparison. And unlike the M5, there is the E 63 AMG as a wagon (station wagon). At Audi, we investigated (yet) is in vain for a sporting competitor, so do not expect the new RS6 to the sporty Audi subsidiary quattro GmbH before 2013.
