As a reminder, the fresh BMW M5 has been given some cosmetic updates as well as some new technology but power has remained the same.
The only technical information they are willing to part with is that the top speed is over 372 km/h and that power output will be over 1,000 hp.
As we mentioned, power remains the same which means the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 delivers a healthy 600 hp (447 kW) while the Competition variant cranks out 617 hp (460 kW).
Ever wondered what the outcome of a drag race between a 310 kW hot hatch and 460 kW coupé would be?
We have confirmation from BMW South Africa that we will be getting five of these units and one has already arrived.
The extra power comes from an ECU retune and an improved cooling system with enlarged intercoolers.
It is no secret that the BMW M8 Competition is extremely fast but is it as capable as it is quick around a circuit?
The market launch for the all-wheel drive xDrive versions is scheduled in late 2021.
Is it just us or does that grille work a lot better in full M guise?
