Here is the range-topping version of BMW X5, dubbed the X5 M. Notice the reworked front bumper with
carbon fiber apron, blacked-out kidney grille, updated side skirts, and more
carbon fiber used on the side mirror casings and roof. At the rear, Aksyonov
Nikita imagined the high-performance model with a mean diffuser and double
tailpipes smaller than the ones used in the xDrive30d flavor.
The rest of the vehicle’s body was adorned with M
specific decals and, as a final touch, the SUV gets a new set of rims. Despite
having a larger footprint than the outgoing model, the all-new BMW X5 M will be
a tad lighter. The CLAR architecture and other work carried beneath the skin
will improve its handling, while the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine will allow
it to challenge other high-end SUVs, such as the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
It’s been said that the upcoming BMW X5 M will have
as much as 600 PS available via the right pedal. Thus, it should
be able to sprint to 100 km/h, from a standstill, in less than 4
seconds.
An exact reveal date for the all-new BMW X5 M has
yet to be announced. Still, we could be looking at an official presentation
later this year, and the 2018 Paris Auto Show, which kicks off at the beginning
of October, might be the ideal place for the unveiling.
