This Rare 1964 Race Car Was Chevy’s Response to the Shelby Cobra. It Could Be Yours for $2 Million.has decided to follow the lead of Audi and Mercedes-Benz and bring a coveted performance wagon, the M5 Touring, to the U.S. The long-roof version of the top-of-the-line 5-Series is expected to launch here later this year.We Designed Our Own $5 Million Bugatti Mistral. Here’s How.
We’ve known this was a possibility since the winter. In February, the German marque unveiled new wagon versions of the 5-Series and the all-electric i5. The longroofs featured a muscular design and all the powertrain options you could ask for. Unfortunately, the company said it had no plans to bring any of the wagons to this side of the Atlantic, but did reveal there was a chance the top-of-the-line M5 Touring might make it over.
But the big story here, as with all M vehicles, will be the powertrain. It will have an electrified setup derived from the M Hybrid V8 GTP race car. The expectation is that it will pair a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 with an electric motor that will likely combine to produce over 700 hp, according to Motor1.com. It’s a good thing that the powertrain will be that powerful, as the wagon is expected to be a heavyweight, tipping the scales at over 5,368 pounds.
