Scott said in another thread that the next version of the V10 will have 625 hp.....but we don't know for what car that will be of course (or if it's true)



lOl, thanks for the responce klier


You believe that man.. I mean come on. BMW has never been that power hungry in the past. 600 plus hp is pretty extreme when thay just broke the 500 mark with the current model.

On top of that with the addition of a bigger displacement, turbo chargers and other toys the car should be a bit heavier. If it`s going to be lighter the M boys have some work to do.
