2011 Los Angeles: 2012 BMW M5


BMW has officially unveiled the M5 at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The German automaker hadn’t released any details on it, but the U.S. model will most likely feature a 4.4-liter V8 engine as the European model, which is developing a total output of 560 hp between 5.000 and 6,000 rpm, with a peak torque of 502 lb-ft at 1,500 rpm.

As a reminder, the 4.4-liter V8 engine is mated to a 7-speed M Double Clutch Transmission Drivelogic, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 155 mph.
