Based on a series of CAD images leaked last
year, this is what we can expect from BMW's all-new F90 M5 in terms of styling.
This also marks our first look at what the rear
styling might be on the production-ready M5 saloon - as opposed those M5 GT
renderings we saw last year, where the rear styling was entirely hypothetical.
These renderings come courtesy of Bimmerpost, and
the design changes make the new M5 appear more aggressive than the older F10
version. Also, the carbon fiber roof is a nice touch and the M mirrors fit
right in with the car's overall sporty styling.
We can expect to see heavily restyled
bumpers, different kidney grille inserts, wider front wings with chromed vent
elements, M mirror casings, wider sills, a prominent rear diffuser and of
course the M5's signature quad-tailpipes.
The new M5's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine
should be good for over 600 HP, and a blistering 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 3.5 seconds. The next-gen M5 is also anticipated to be the first non-SUV from BMW's
M brand to be offered with the all-wheel drive as an option.
We also have another M5 Touring rendering for your
viewing pleasure in the gallery below, though BMW has no plans to develop such
a model. Here, the front end stays faithful to the CAD renderings. This one was
put together by Bimmerpost's Paul Bracq BMW.
BMW's all-new M5 is expected to make its
international debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
