There's something exotically special about a V10-powered saloon like the previous generation BMW M5 (E60), but even though its successor has two less cylinders, it more than compensates for the loss with the addition of a pair of turbochargers when it comes to speed.

The new Hyundai V6 Turbo GDi has a pair of some of the smallest-looking turbochargers feeding it extra air. Perhaps that’s the reason why the new 3.3-liter unit only makes 27 more horsepower than the non-turbo 3.8-liter, although torque is up...

BMW M5 E60 V10 is No Match for New M5 F10 V8 Turbo
There's something exotically special about a V10-powered saloon like the previous generation BMW M5 (E60), but even though its successor has two less cylinders, it more than compensates for the loss with the addition of a pair of turbochargers when it comes to speed.
As always, the numbers don't lie: the E60 M5's 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V10 churns out 500hp (507PS) and a peak torque of 520Nm (428 lb-ft), while the newer F10 M5's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, 552hp (560PS) from 6,000 to 7,000rpm and a maximum torque of 680Nm (502 lb-ft) from 1,500 rpm to 5,750rpm.
To get a taste of how these figures translate on the road, members of the M5Board forums took the two generations of the M5 to an airstrip for a speed challenge. Enjoy the videos after the break.
