Unofficial renderings from Future Cars Now on Instagram should give us an idea of what the upcoming M5 Touring could look like.
As a benchmark, the current Audi RS6 Avant is offering a high-performance package with its 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine good for 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. BMW could pit that against the M5 Touring expected to be powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid engine good for 738 hp and 738 ft-lb of torque.
If the powertrain sounds familiar, it is the same one in the BMW XM Label Red, an all-electric full-size luxury crossover dubbed as the “most powerful M model ever.” That said, US car buyers could be up for a treat with the M5 Touring as it sounds like the wagon will pack serious power under the hood.
