RM Design近日发布了下一代宝马M5合成图,该车将未来两年后发布。宝马设计师或许会对将于明年下半年发布的下一代5系采用渐进式改款,而这也意味着M5顶级款将在2017年底或2018年初发布,同时也将首次提供xDrive全驱系统作为选装件。该车动力系统仍将是一台4.4升V8双涡轮增压引擎,但功率提升至460千瓦/626马力。由于新一代5系采用了新的35up平台,重量将降低约100公斤,因此采用同样平台的M5性能将更为突出。宝马还有望推出M5 Touring旅行版以抗衡奥迪RS6 Avant,奔驰E63 AMG Estate金额其他高性能旅行车。
Next generation BMW M5 speculatively rendered
RM Design has speculatively rendered the next generation BMW M5 set to come out before the end of the decade.
BMW's designers will probably take the evolutionary route with the 5-Series (G30) set to come out in the second half of next year which means the range-topping M5 won't be out sooner than late 2017 / early 2018. RM Design decided to share his vision of the high-performance mid-size Bavarian sedan which for the first time in its history will likely receive an optional xDrive all-wheel drive system.
RWD will obviously be standard and power should come from the same twin-turbo V8 4.4-liter engine from the current model but massaged to deliver up to 626 HP (460 kW). All that power will come in a significantly lighter package as the new 5-Series is expected to drop around 100 kg (220 lbs) as a result of making the switch to the new 35up platform debuting later this year on the 7-Series.
This time around, hopefully BMW will bring back the M5 Touring to tackle the Audi RS6 Avant, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Estate and other fast wagons.
