Jun 17, 2011 – Though it isn’t set to make its official world debut until this September’s 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, the new 2012 BMW M5 has hit the Internet by way of a leaked report and is already starting to strike terror in the hearts of AMG and RS fans all around the globe. That’s because the latest generation F10 bruiser comes packing a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 developing 552 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.
Purists may miss the high-rev V-10 of the E60 M5, but the new force-fed V-8 should prove to be much more usable. Its peak torque, yes all 510 pound-feet of twist, arrives at just 1,500 rpm.
This is directly reflected in performance, with the 2012 BMW M5 accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 4.4 seconds versus the previous car’s 4.7 second time. The 0-124 mph run, meanwhile, will take you 13 seconds.
Note that these acceleration figures are with a seven-speed M-DCT dual clutch transmission. A conventional six-speed manual is almost certain to be offered in the U.S. market given the prototypes spotted recently.
Top speed will remain at an electronically limited 155 mph, though an M-Drivers-Package is said to be available, which will lift top speed to a reported 189 mph.
Other details mentioned in the leaked report include an Active M-Differential with torque vectoring between the rear wheels, 20-inch light alloy wheels and a sub-8 minute Nurburgring lap time.
While the car’s official world debut isn’t set to occur until September, the new 2012 BMW M5 will reportedly make an appearance at the M Festival at the Nurburgring 24 Hours endurance race in Germany on June 23.
