2011 M5 to produce 536hp V8 TT
Not sure where to post this so please move if needed.
Found out from another site that the 2011 M5 will be a V8 TT that is going to put out 536 hp

I'm only telling you what I have seen. What do you think of this news? I get the feeling that IF this is the engine then BWM will be making a torque monster.

I read about it on Autoblog.com, and thought to myself, what a shame that the V-10 may not live on. While the engine is a big deal, I would love to know what the next M5 will look like.

How would this be much different than the Alpina B5?

I hope it is not a turbo but with 600 hp, I am willing to listen.

Next M5 to be a TT V8
it looks like the V10 is history after next year.
BMW is going to a V8 with a twin turbo.

...this speculation will be endless until it/the facts come out.
I'm betting 555hp or more...
