  • 2012 BMW M5 Concept

    Finally, the 2012 BMW F10 M5 Concept is revealed. The coverage of the car started back in 2007 with some spy photos and little information. However, BMW has recently launched several video clips with some winter testing of the new M5. Still, the car was partly covered and no information about the drive train was released.

    Here are some pictures of 2012 F10 M5, but there are no official information for the performance characteristics of the sport sedan. The media release is expected on April 7th and the car will make its official debut at the Auto Shanghai on 19th, this month.

    F10 M5 is expected to be powered by the well-know 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8, which is used in X5M and X6M, where it delivers 555PS. However, the sport saloon will have at least 600PS to match the competition – Audi RS6 and Mercedes E63 AMG.

    Stay tuned for more information and until then, enjoy the pictures of the new BMW F10 M5 Concept. The car looks just brutal and we don’t doubt that it will be superbly faster than 99 percent of the cars on the public roads.

  • GeigerCars Ford Mustang Shelby GT640 Golden Snake

    Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a pure fun car, but somehow it need more individuality and here comes the tuned version by GeigerCars. The tuning company has unveiled a special performance and styling packages for the Coupe. The name of the project is GT640 Golden Snake and as you may suggest – 640 is the number of the horsepower.

    The styling package includes a matte gold finish, a carbon fiber hood, a front lip spoiler and widened side skirts. For better stance and handling, the tuner installed an adjustable H&R sports suspension and huge 20” alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

    The power of The Beast comes from a mighty 5.4 liter supercharged V8 with ECU re-map and stainless steel sport exhaust system. The result is staggering 640PS (471 kW) and 789Nm (582 lb-ft) of torque, so it is a real muscle car. The acceleration is brutal – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph). As we know, the American muscles do not have the best aerodynamics in the world and even with such amount of power, the car can’t pass the 300 km/h barrier.

    GeigerCars Ford Mustang Shelby GT640 Golden Snake is priced at $125 475. However, all components can be ordered separately.
