2018 BMW M5 Finally Unveiled

Three months ago, BMW showed us a photo gallery of the newly redesigned BMW M5 2018. On the other hand, the car sported a camouflage, and it was difficult to see the aesthetic distinctions of the high performance sedan that will once again compete the Mercedes-AMG E 63, Audi S6 and Cadillac CTS-V.

The German manufacturer has just released a massive collection of photos of the car, although this time the body of the M5 is fully discovered. 

For the first time, the M5 is equipped with an integral gear train. The new M XDrive uses a transfer case and multi-disc clutch to distribute power between the front and rear axles and favors the rear wheels for a more sporty ride. However, it will offer five different settings to satisfy the driver's preferences, whether to allow a little slippage at the rear or to completely disengage the nose gear for a propulsion configuration.

The 4.4-liter V8 biturbo has been revised to increase its horsepower to 600 horsepower, while its maximum torque is 553 pounds-feet, available between 1,800 to 5,600 rpm. It will now be operated by an eight-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted selectors. BMW advanced a 0-100 km / h of 3.4 seconds, a 0-200 km / h of 11.1 and a maximum speed of 305 km / h when the car is equipped with the driver's set M.

The suspension and steering of the BMW M5 2018 both get a choice of three modes, including Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus, while the responsiveness of the engine can be changed through the Efficient, Sport and Sport Plus modes . The driver can also customize all settings to suit his tastes and save them with the M1 and M2 buttons on the steering wheel.

Obviously, the M5 sports a more aggressive appearance than the other variants of the BMW 5 Series. This includes a reformed aluminum hood, oversized front air intakes, a rear air diffuser, four round exhaust tips and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic roof. 19-inch alloy wheels are standard, while 20-inch wheels and carbon ceramic brakes are available as an option.

Finally, BMW has confirmed the appearance of the new M5 in the next opus of the franchise Need for Speed ​​of Electronic Arts. Need for Speed ​​Payback will be on sale November 10th on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles as well as on PC with the Origin platform. This is the first time that BMW unveils a car in a partnership with a video game.

The price of the Canadian version of the BMW M5 2018 has not yet been disclosed, but the sedan should be on sale by the end of 2017
