The next generation or G series M5 cannot come soon enough.
600hp and 400lbs less weight.. that will equal better hp/lb and will be much faster than F10. If we are to guess each 10lbs saved = 1 hp then you are talking about 40hp from drop in weight plus another 40hp from bump in power to 600hp and that is if it is not even more. That is 80hp right there more than the abomination that is F10.
What is the downside again? other than frying tires when you attempt to put down 600hp in rear wheels  |
Abomination? not at all. You may want to spend a little more time to understand what BMW did with the new M5.
On another note, until BMW starts using all aluminum chassis or carbon fiber tubs there are huge disadvantages to loosing weight also. M5 needs to play dual roles very well.
