I came across the well-known "M5 Killer" for sale after being interested in it myself. I saw that there was some previous threads regarding this car or ones like it. I wonder how the performance compares?

Thats unusual.
I would like to have a drive in that monster.
Looks like it would be very nose heavy.

I know Hartge put the v12 in the 5-series,i'v the original article somewhere(try to find it).I don't think that was the 5.6l though,because this was in the late eighties.

450hp is a lot,even Alpina didn't get that out of the 6liter.

thats right - I think they got 416 from the B12 5,7 or 6,0 was it?

That car has been for sale many many times.

I'd love to see someone pick it up and enter it into the Gumball or the like. A unique, fast car that could use some abuse....

Season greetings Farrell/All,

Judging by the pictures of the car, looks like something borrowed an M5 and stuff a V12 inside the engine bay (the ground effects, front view, rear view, side view, seats, dash layout, all is the same as an M5), so is it a M5 killer or an M5 with a bigger engine. Either way it's a very interesting car.
