Background and Design of the Original
The model car is based on the BMW M5 E60, a remarkable vehicle produced from 2005 to 2010. This generation of the BMW M5 was innovative and brought many technical advancements. Originally designed by Chris Bangle and Adrian van Hooydonk, the E60 had an aggressive yet elegant aesthetic that made it instantly recognizable. The E60 was introduced as the successor to the E39 and featured a versatile blend of luxury, sportiness, and technical sophistication.
Technical Data and Features
The BMW M5 E60 was the first M5 to have a V10 engine under the hood. This 5.0-liter engine producing 507 horsepower (373 kW) allowed for a 0-60 mph acceleration in just 4.7 seconds. The engine was paired with a sequential seven-speed gearbox (SMG) enabling quick and precise gear changes. Advanced suspension tuning and the use of lightweight materials contributed to the exceptional performance and driving dynamics of the vehicle. BMW's M division invested numerous development hours to create a vehicle that impresses both on the road and the racetrack.
