Because of boredom I find an article of a bmw car, and I was amazed of the specifications of the car.
“Discreet from outside, the new M5 is the most powerful BMW 5 Series there has ever been: five liter capacity, 10 cylinders, 373 kW/507 bhp maximum output, 520 Newton-metres/383 lb-ft maximum torque, and engine speeds in excess of 8,000 rpm speak a clear language. The M5 also boasts the most innovative drive concept in its class complete with seven-speed SMG transmission, the best power-to-weight ratio, magnificent handling, and all the qualities required for everyday use.
The V10 power unit is currently the only high-speed engine in the world in a production sedan, making the M5 the most powerful standard production model in the BMW range. Its acceleration and driving dynamics give the M5 truly impressive thrust and performance on the road: Acceleration from 0–100 km/h comes in 4.7 seconds and the needle on the speedometer reaches the 200 km/h-mark after approximately 15 seconds. Then, at 250 km/h or 155 mph, the electronic speed limiter restrains the car’s almost insatiable urge for power and performance. Boasting maximum engine speed of 8,250 rpm and specific output of 101 bhp per liter, the V10 offers racing qualities of the highest caliber. The chassis and suspension perfectly matched to the enormous power of the engine and fully equipped with extra-large race-inspired brakes, together with electronic control systems such as DSC, ensures active safety of the highest standard.”
Masterpiece: All new high-revving V10 engine
Benchmark: 378 kW of power at 8,250 rpm with 520 Nm of torque
Supremacy: New 11-program seven-speed split-second shifting SMG gearbox
“The engine shares more than just its number of cylinders with the Formula 1engine that powers the BMW WilliamsF1 team. Technology forged in the heat of motorsport has enhanced the processes and components used in this new powerhouse engine.
As you would expect from BMW M, this high-performance normally aspirated engine generates enormous pulling force over its entire speed range.
The BMW M V10 is the only high-revving power unit to be featured in a series-production car. The M5’s V10 boasts a cubic capacity of 5.0-litres and produces a maximum output of 507 BHP (378 kW) and a maximum torque of 520 Newton metres, making the M5 the most powerful production model in the BMW line-up.
It has been 20 years since BMW introduced the concept of the ultra-high performance sedan with the arrival of the original E28 M5. At that time the straight-six engine set the benchmark for naturally aspirated performance power units, and every successive M5 has continued this tradition.
M drivers thrive on accelerative thrust and driving dynamics. Engine torque and the transmission ratio significantly influence the drive forces at the driven wheels and the high-revving V10 allows an optimum transmission ratio, thus guaranteeing impressive forward thrust.”
So, if want to buy a new car! Choose BMW cars.
