Default 500Hp M5 Not Enough? How About A 810Hp M5?

www.worldcarfans.com

As Frank Barone would say. HOLY CRAP!

Quote:
Currency Motor Cars is proud to introduce the first of an unprecedented line of supercars. This flagship model is an ingeniously modified 2006 BMW M5 that can reach a top speed of 240 mph. This makes it the fastest, most powerful luxury 4-door sedan on the planet. CMC co-founder, Ron Cash, has brilliantly outfitted BMW’s compression V-10 engine with twin-turbo chargers and a custom inter-cooler system to kick out an astonishing 800+ horses.

No one in the world has been able to achieve this...until now.

This is the only car of its kind. The mind-boggling power of this vehicle is complimented by the exquisite alterations of it's interior. The leather in the steering wheel, arm rests and dash is the same as the leather in the seats. Fully aniline dyed Florida Crocodile in black. Only the finest suede and leathers have been used, much like the old Delahaye and Bugatti roadsters in the 1930's.

This custom interior is all meticulously hand stitched, designed and installed by Judy Amic-Angelo, one of the the most respected product designers in the country.

Yeap there pretty hot too, but I find it hard to pick anything wrong with a standard M5.

The style and the sound of it. No i have never driven one or been in one. I never said that I had. I am talking purely from style point of view. I see ne every day on the way to work. The 5 series styling has not yet grown on me. The 7 has, the 3 coupe is nice but the 5 and 6 just don't cut the mustard for me. Pure and Simple.

BTW chief caps are not cool

Love the exterior, looks tough. Interior is OK, but not really to my taste. Engine is pretty cool too - lag existed in the eighties...

Lag would be the least of your problems, 0 to 100 in 3.6 sec is!

I don't think the temps would get any worse, the turbos might even run cooler due to increased air flow and the engine bay heat would have to be better than conventionally mounted turbos. Pretty shitty looking plumbing overall though.
