The F10 M5 concept was officially unveiled online today
[official photos/video/info] to much excitement and anticipation. The F10 M5 represents the successor to the now fabled E60 M5, which began production in 2005 and ended last year. The F10 M5 concept's official press release photos reminded us much of the E60 M5 concept's debut photos. We've posted up some comparison photos below.
Not much technical info or specs have been released so far for the F10 M5, but what we do know is that the engine will be a high revving twinpower turbo V8 (albeit different from the X5/6 M), the transmission will include a 7-speed M DCT with M Drivelogic (manual transmission option status still unknown), and up to 25% fuel efficiency increase over the E60 M5.
By comparison, the E60 M5 was powered by a V10, 7-speed SMG or manual transmission.
While we think that the E60 M5 is still beautiful, the F10 M5 is clearly a more modern and fresher styled design.
