2006 E60 M5=507 hp
2012 F10 M5=560 hp

So, the E60 M5 had over 100 hp more than the E39 M5, yet the F10 will get less than 60 more hp? I don't really like this trend...as Mercedes, Audi, and Caddy, Lexus are racketing up their hp and handling, BMW's M Division led by a marketing guy seem to have lost focus...I hope not...because if Lexus drops the 4.8 V10 from the LFA into the GS for the GS-F, not only will it make about the same hp, but it WILL sound better than what the M5 will possibly be presenting
