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.
