Whenever BMW launches a new M-car, the automotive media and enthusiasts stand up and take notice. When it's a 560 hp M5, the world anxiously awaits pictures and specs. The new BMW M5 is a visual masterpiece and is a thrill to drive.

The twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8 puts out an equally impressive 500 lb-ft of torque. Whether coupled to the recently announced 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the RWD M5 covers ground at a phenomenal rate. The 0-100 km/h sprint goes by in 4.4 seconds and, if equipped with the Driver's Package, will top out at 300 km/h.
