2018 BMW M5 F90 spied testing – Video

 

This video shows you the 2018 BMW M5 F90 (optional with Xdrive). It has a 4.4 liter Twin Turbo V8 engine what produce around the 600HP.

Instead of upping power significantly, the engineers are likely to be more focused on reducing weight. Thanks to the adoption of the carbon fiber-infused, modular-designed 35up platform that debuted in the 2016 7-Series, the new 5-Series should weigh around 220 lbs less than the current model, and similar weight savings should also benefit the new M5. The current model’s curb weight has bloated to as much as 4,123 lbs. Higher strength steels and carbon fiber-reinforced plastic are used in the 35up platform to help shed the weight.

They photographer who took pictures at the track confirms that the engine fitted to the car is a V-8, likely to be an updated version of the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 used in the current M5. This engine produces as much as 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque in the M5 30 Jahre Edition, built last year to celebrate the nameplate’s 30th anniversary, and we expect similar figures in the new M5.
