BMW->ke178 is keeping its cards close to its vest as far as the next-generation M5->ke2922 is concerned, but it doesn’t mean that the creative types out there won’t have a jolly good time in giving their own visual interpretations of what the new M5 would look like.

From what we know, though, the new M5 is expected to have a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that can churn out as much as 580 horsepower.

In addition to that, BMW has given the new M5 some pretty nifty features including a dual-clutch transmission, side air vents, a carbon fiber roof, and a more aggressive aerodynamic package that should make the new M5 even more imposing and intimidating than it’s predecessors.
