The seventh-generation BMW M5 has been revealed, with the flagship M car featuring a plug-in-hybrid powertrain for the first time.
A 194-hp electric motor supplements the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8, and the two combine to generate 717 hp and 738 pound-feet of torque.
Along with the added power, the new M5 adds a considerable amount of weight, tipping the scales at 5390 pounds. Pricing starts at $120,675.
The M5 adds a bevy of new technology as it enters its seventh generation. Power is still sourced by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8, though this time it's paired with a permanently excited synchronous electric motor, which together generate a combined 717 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Both figures are quite a bit higher than the outgoing M5 CS, which boasted 627 horsepower and 553 pound-feet.
A 14.8-kWh lithium-ion battery housed under the floor provides power for the 194-hp electric motor stored in the eight-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to temporary pre-gearing in the car's launch-control system, the electric motor's torque can be boosted from 206 to 332 pound-feet.
With the addition of the e-motor's instantaneous torque, BMW's on-paper claim of a 3.4-second zero-to-60-mph sprint feels conservative. The company lists a top speed of 190 mph with the optional BMW Driver's package (155 mph without it).
