After a lengthy buildup, the new BMW M5 is here. The German automaker has revealed the latest generation of its M5, which adopts a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, making it the most powerful iteration of the iconic super sedan till date. The new BMW M5 retains the 4.4-litre, twin-turbo, V8 engine but now includes an electric motor in the eight-speed automatic transmission, akin to the BMW XM SUV. The total system output is 717bhp and 1,000Nm of torque, which is distributed to all four wheels via BMW’s rear-biased xDrive all-wheel-drive system. Despite being about half a tonne heavier than its predecessor, BMW says the new M5 can run from zero to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds. The top speed is limited to 250km/h but can be extended to 305 KMPH with the optional M Driver’s Package. BMW also projects up to 69 kilometres of silent range, thanks to the 18.6kWh battery pack in the car’s underbody. In the electric mode, the BMW M5 can hit speeds up to 140km/h and supports AC charging up to 7.4kW.

All-new BMW M5 is all set for a global debut and this is a generation change. The Bavarian automaker has just released a teaser video, showing some of the iconic sportscar's development and testing processes in various facilities. The G90 will be the first M5 to use a plug-in hybrid engine, likely to be shared with the BMW XM SUV. If that happens, the all-new G90 M5 will get the twin-turbo, 4.4-litre V-8 engine with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack. This setup, in the XM Label Red, delivers about 740 horsepower and 1,000 Newton-metre of torque. So, let's see the upcoming 2025 BMW M5 G90 in some tyre-shredding action.
