That's the beast that's suppoused to have around 650HP, right?

In the article it's saying between 550-600. It says they're thinking of using either the 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 used in the X5M & X6M with more work to it, or twin turboing the current 5.0L V10.

Either way, that would be a scary scary fast car. 210mph+ could be possible from a factory 4dr saloon car if they get to that power level.

IF...they don't set the 155 limiter again. Which they will, because they always do.

Still a monster of a car, though.

The factory will, but it's not like it'll be difficult to remove.

Most likely a E80 AMG or something ridiculous like that.

pics and details of the development mule of the new M5, codenamed the F10, due out 2011.

I think those wheels have got to be using the least amount of materials, ever. Its like they want you to look right over them and stare at those rotors.

When GM threw in the CTS-V handgrenade, not to mention the serious competition coming from AMG and the Audi folks, yeah, I could see why they'd want the extra power and such. They're going to need it.

With 650 hp, I believe Audi and AMG are firmly planted in this car's rear view mirrors...

They're easily as big (maybe...even bigger) than the ceramics found on the LP640.

Not that it is all that important, but is the HUD really that big of a deal anymore? Its definitely a cool toy of sorts, but maybe I'm too cynical since the Corvette, various Cadillacs, and a Saab or two have had them on and off for more than a decade. Certainly, I'd use it, but I just don't see it as a critical selling point. Especially when I hate digital gauges so much. Sure, they're cool in an '80s way. But if you've used them, you know how annoying it is.

quick remap on an rs6 will see 710+bhp so the M5 will still be seeing this

Well, by golly, let's just throw this in there, then.

Stop with the automotive porn...my pants cannot take any more!

well.. all Audi needs to do is RS6+..with 670bhp on tap. that would put it ahead SL AMG's..
