500+ hp.
- 700 Nm
- 0-100km/h in about 5 sec.
THE NEW BMW M6 will make use of the 500-Plus-HP V10 of the soon-to-arrive M5. For maximum thrills, there will also be an M6 Cabrio – but not initially. It will appear after BMW has introduced the next-generation M5 early next year, and so is unlikely to hit showrooms until spring 2005.
But the flagship promises to be well worth the wait. With more than 500 HP and 700 Nm of torque on offer from an all-new 5.0-litre V10, it will be able to sprint from 0-100 km/h in around five seconds. However, European cars will be electronically restricted to 250 km/h. Even in cabrio guise, the 6 will be much less heavy than the 5-Series on which it's based, thanks to lightweight aluminium front panels and suspension subframes. For the cabrio, expect a price premium of around 4,500 Euros over the coupé.
