Could it get Any Cooler?

G-power introduced the BMW M5 Hurricane RR Touring, their most powerful and most extreme interpretation of the M5 (E61) Touring to date. One of the things we love the most about the retiring E60/61 M5 is definitely its naturally aspirated 507 Hp 5.0-liter V10. But thanks to their new Bi-Kompressor-System, G-power achieved a whopping 820 Hp out of the Almighty V10.

The result is the fastest station wagon in the world with a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.4 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.5 seconds, 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) in 25.6 seconds and it will keep accelerating until it hits a top speed of 362 km/h (225 mph)!

Aesthetically, the car features some exterior and interior goodies to make the model more distinguishable like the 20-inch Silverstone RS wheels and long list of on board multimedia system. You will find more details in the press release after the jump but for now, i'll leave you with the pictures!

This is the new BMW M5 F10 Concept

You are looking at the newest M model to roll out from the München factory and it's a matter of months before the word "concept" disappears from its name without causing any damage just like the previous regular M concepts.

The new M5 is powered by the same 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 that develops 555 Hp under the X5 M's bonnet. However, the BMW Motorsports division engineers could have squeezed an extra 30 Hp from the engine. People will need to get used to turbocharged M cars as the M3 E92 is will be the latest naturally aspirated M car.

From an aesthetic point of view, the new M5 is a success. The front and rear bumpers are largely inspired by the E92 M3 and the latest 1M Coupe. The car looks sportier than the standard F10 without being too much aggressive. The new M5 might have grown up in term of proportions but it's still going to be faster than the E60 and for a lot a BMW enthusiasts, it's already better looking.
