2025 BMW M5

The all-new BMW M5 goes hybrid, keeps the V8, but gains a lot of weight. This is the seventh-generation M5 and the first to be electrified in the model’s history. BMW haven’t gone full electric yet, keeping the 4.4L twin turbo V8 engine and coupling it with a 194 hp, 207 lb-ft e-motor integrated into the eight-speed transmission and fed by a 22.1 kWh battery pack. They combine to generate 717 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque.

Unfortunately, the new G90 generation M5 has gained a bit weight, adding 570 kg over the previous generation. That actually gives the new M5 a worse 294 hp/ton power to weight ratio, which was 312 hp/ton for the previous M5 and 330 hp/ton for the Competition version. The result is a slower 0 to 62 mph sprint time of 3.5 seconds.
