R&T: The 2019 BMW M5 Competition is Ludicrous
Full review at https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...-is-ludicrous/
The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 dumps a cool 617 horsepower to the ground through an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system that does not care whether the road is dry or paved entirely with the tears of the SRT-8 driver in the lane next to you. It compresses reality, hustling the car’s 4,276 pounds to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. It does not quit pulling, not past the speed limit, or twice that posted figure. Or three times the number on the sign.
This is what Achilles must have felt like. Drunk with ego. Content in the knowledge of his superiority.
