Not really OT: New F10 M5 with dual-turbo V8 and 640bhp

So this is a news article from an Australian newspaper called "The Age" so the journalism sucks major balls, but the facts are there.

Video link to The Age feature on F10 M5 (http://media.theage.com.au/drive/car-news/spied-new-bmw-m5-1542592.html)

The video states the motor will output 480kW, that's 640bhp. Can't wait to see how this monster will perform. And of course I want one. And of course I can't afford it.

Nice find. Funny, I was thinking that a sedan would need somewhere around 600 HP to keep up with the likes of an Audi R8 (the R8 V8 option spews out 414 HP, and the V10 518 HP).

Pretty insane figures.

So can you afford a turbo setup? ;)

Hardly. Between building a house and organising my wedding, I have about $2.50 to spend on an M5. I think the sticker price for those beasts are a little bit higher than that ;)
