M5 Currency Motors’ 800HP Twin-Turbo M5 E60

[Zafiro]

What do you do when your 500hp M5 just isn’t doing it for you anymore? You call California-based Currency Motors who, by adding a pair of turbochargers, turns the standard M5 into the world’s fastest and most powerful four-door luxury sedan on the planet. That’s right. This modified M5 delivers up to 810hp and is capable of reaching a top speed of 240mph.

For the $350,000 price tag, Currency Motors adds its own hand-built intercooler system, a full custom exhaust and of course, two huge turbochargers. In a strange move, the engineers placed the turbos under the rear bumper, forcing the charged air to run up the passenger side of the car. This was necessary as there would have been too much heat if the turbos were up front. Testament to BMW’s engineering, the SMG transmission has been left untouched.

Inside, the leather on the steering wheel and seats gets replaced with fully aniline dyed Florida crocodile in black, similar material used in the finest Bugatti roadsters of the 1930’s. Interested buyers better be quick because there are plans for only 10 copies, and at the moment the car is available in the US only.

Stock for me, I can't believe they wasted the time and energy to sup up the already dreadfully fast M5!

If I had 350K, I would buy a new M5 and then pocket 250K instead of pissing the money away like this. If I had 3500K, I would buy a new M5 and then pocket the rest. If I had 35000K, I would buy a new M5 and then .......

That's sick. It's machines like this that seperate the true speed junkies, from the wussies!

Re: Motors’ 800HP Twin-Turbo M5 E60

OOH.. M5 has always been my dream "cheap" power-car (cos its not and will never be a super car but it would be nice to pull away from most pieces of tuned up rubbish in town) since I was taken round a track by a policeman. I will go for the standard version if and when I get the dough, only problem being my wife would take it cos she drives more than me!!!

Re: Motors’ 800HP Twin-Turbo M5 E60

That IS AWESOME. Seriously though-am i the only who appreciates this? Twin Turbo charging is no easy feet especially on the already highly tuned and high reving V10-i think its an engineering marvel. They could have left the wheels and interior alone though.

I'm with you, Matt!

Not that i like rims and interior pukeface, but everything else...

And with that speed both CLS and E V12 from Brabus fall on 2nd place; this is the fastest 4 door saloon in the world. At least for that they deserve credit...
