The Competition's twin-turbo V8 engine bumps the power up to 625hp. This, combined with a Steptronic eight-speed automatic gearbox results in high-performance acceleration of 0-100kph in 3.3s and 0-200kph in 10.8s, plus a top speed of 250kph.
With the optional M Driver's package, top speeds can even get up to 305kph. What's more, to give a better grip on the road and more of a sporty look, the chassis has been lowered by 7mm, the suspension has been revamped and the tailpipe offers a new sportier design.
Following on from the M2 Competition, this latest M5 model is the second in the new separate range. Its price has not yet been disclosed, but is likely to top 130,000 euros (RM615,000), bearing in mind that prices for the standard M5 start at 127,550 euros (RM603,000).
