Inch by inch, stretch to stretch, the new BMW M5 is coming along quite nicely thank you. This latest 3-minute video clip showcases some of the car’s dynamic supremacy on a BMW test track in the south of France. Different handling courses are tackled, including a wet section where the car slides merrily to the driver’s absolute content. In the video the car exceeds 300km/h but we are pretty sure BMW will not breach the German premium trio’s unspoken agreement of a 250km/h limit.
We already know the car will feature a 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 with something to the tune of 420kW and a 0 – 100km/h time of under 4.5 seconds. A new official detail says instead of the 6-speed automatic used by the X5 M and X6 M, the new M5 employs a double-clutch M-DCT with 7 forward ratios. M differential is standard across the board for aiding in traction.
Check it out at the 2011 Johannesburg International Auto Show (JIMS) in October, in concept or indeed in full production garb.
