2024 BMW M5 by X-Tomi Design

BMW is extensively developing the new generation of the M5 model, which will inherit one of the most powerful cars from the Bavarian company’s offer. And while everyone is wondering what it will look like, designer X-Tomi Design has released renderings based on photos of the car captured on the Nurburgring track.

X-Tomi Design predicts that the car will have traditional black M rims and an X-shaped front end, featuring a black radiator grille with a red border. The front fenders are wider than the standard model, which is to be expected given that the M5 will almost certainly have wider wheels, as well as more powerful brakes.

The hood looks very similar to that of the M4 coupe, and there is a radar cruise control sensor positioned in the lower part of the front bumper. It’s certainly a better position than the one BMW chose for the standard Series, as the German manufacturer tried to integrate it into the kidney grille, but it’s hard not to notice.

When it comes to the powertrain, BMW did not reveal the data. Rumors say that the new generation could be a hybrid, mentioning a combination of a twin-turbo V8 engine and a single electric motor with a total output of 644 hp (474 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque in the entry version, and 738 hp ( 543 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) in the XM Red Label model. As a reminder, the current BMW M5 is powered by a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine with 617 hp (454 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.

BMW has not revealed when it will premiere the new model, but some rumors say it could be in early 2024.

Tuning

BMW M3 Touring with 730 HP

There are many tuners who want to show and prove that they are good at their job, but there are few who can say that they are the best, and one of them is the German company G-Power. The tuner is known for upgrading BMW cars, and this time it’s the BMW M3 Touring.

First of all, G-Power equipped the BMW M3 Touring with three tuning packages, and with the most powerful of them it brings a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 730 hp (537 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of maximum torque. The increase in power also meant an increase in top speed, which is now more than 320 km/h (199 mph). As a reminder, the standard M3 Touring has 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, and top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

In slightly weaker options, G-Power offers 630 hp (463 kW) and 680 hp (500 kW), which could definitely satisfy those with a little less adrenaline.

The car is a little closer to the ground, and is equipped with several carbon body components, as well as 20 and 21-inch reinforced Hurricane RS aluminum rims, behind which are located better brakes and adaptive suspension.

Inside, the car is equipped with a large display with a 12.3-inch instrument panel and a 14.9-inch multimedia system. Also, the volume of the trunk is from 500 to 1,500 liters, which is more than enough for families.

Range Rover Sport SV Edition One with BMW engine

Land Rover has introduced the BMW-powered Range Rover Sport SV. The British answer to the Cayenne and other SUVs brings a recognizable body design but with slightly different bumpers, larger air vents and a few carbon details.

Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, until now Range Rover used a 5.0L V8 engine with 575 hp (423 kW). The new engine is powerful enough to push the car to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

At Range Rover, they’ve worked hard on the suspension and brakes that need to cope with the performance of the SV, so for the first time potential buyers have also prepared optional carbon-ceramic brakes behind (optional) ultralight 23-inch carbon rims. There is also a limited rear differential lock, but also the best control system ever installed in a Range Rover model. Range Rover points out that the Sport SV is 70 kg lighter than the standard version. It should also be noted that the floor is 25 millimeters closer to the ground.

Inside, the cabin is lined with the highest quality materials. For a better atmosphere, there is also a new 1,430-watt Meridian Signature audio system with 29 speakers and front heated/cooled seats with a massage function.

When it comes to price, the Range Rover Sport SV, which will be offered in the first year as Edition One, will cost around 140,000 euros. Also, the company pointed out that customers will be able to customize their cars with numerous options.
