The incredible shrinking engines

21.05.12

The snarl of a BMW V10 engine as it approaches 8000 rpm, as well as the punch to the gut that it delivers as it sends the M5 into hyperspace, is something you won’t soon forget. But it is something that is already part of history, as BMW is no longer building this engine for production cars. Instead, the new M5 is powered by a smaller-displacement 4.4-liter V8, from the previous 5.0 liters. Yet by no means is the new M5 a pipsqueak. The V8 delivers 560 hp (10 percent more power), 680 Nm (30 percent more torque at a lower rpm), and yet consumes 30 percent less fuel.
