BMW M5 Unofficially Crowned Word’s Fastest Sedan With 7:55 Nurburgring Lap Time
With a BMW factory driver behind the wheel of BMW’s new M5, the luxury sedan has
reportedly turned in a lap time of 7:55 around the famed Nurburgring. This makes it the world’s
it on par of other supercars such as Ferrari’s F430 and is even one second quicker than
Porsche’s 996 Turbo. Powered by a 4.4L V8 twin turbo engine, this accomplishment proves
BMW’s M-models have hardly skipped a beat against the competition. It will be interesting to
see how BMW’s competitors respond with their next-generation sedans, but it clearly proves
that the Germany automaker’s devotion to twin turbo powerplants is paying off.
A word of caution; the time is in no way an official BMW number and we can’t verify the validity
of the source (FastestLaps.com). It’s almost not necessary, however, with the new M5 almost
certain to run a solid sub-eight minute lap around the Ring.
