From M5 Board:

Currency Motor Cars (Westlake, CA) is proud to introduce the first of an unprecedented line of supercars. This flagship model is an ingeniously modified a 2006 BMW M5 that can reach a top speed of 240 mph. This makes it the fastest, most powerful luxury 4-door luxury sedan on the planet. It's high compression V-10 engine has been brilliantly altered, by company founder Ron Cash, to accommodate twin-turbos and a custom, hand crafted inter-cooled system to kick out an astounding 810 horses. No one in the world has been able to achieve this...until now. This is the only car of it's kind. The mind-boggling power of this vehicle is complimented by the exquisite $100,000 alteration of it's interior. The leather in the steering wheel is the same as the leather in the seats. Fully aniline dyed Florida Crocodile in black. Only the finest suede and leathers have been used, much like the old Delahay and Bugatti roadsters adopted in the 1930's. The custom interior is all hand stitched, designed and installed by CMC co-founder Judy Amic-Angelo, one of the most respected product designers in the country.

And some pictures:

Yes the rims are

, the interior with the Crocodile is aslo

and the 240MPH is certainly BS... but it's a news...

The rims are a little too bling and the crocodile leather does look horrible, but otherwise the car looks pretty aggressive.

chrome dubs on an M5

. I guess some people like that. Those seats are nuts, a waste of alot of money and cocs, but still nuts.

The power sounds like fun, but turboing a high compression motor can be dangerious

Can't say I don't like the interior, I thought it was actually quite original

What I noticed was the very unconventinal positioning of the turbochargers, all the way at the back of the car right in front of the rear mufflers. That means the compressed air from the turbos has to go all the way back to the front of the car into the engine. That can't be good for the responsiveness of the throttle...

Can you say LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG

. That is a really odd location for the turbos, as the exaust has to go to the back of the car, spool the turbo, then the spooled air has to go all the way back to the engine. Really odd.

Well... the rims are awful, very "americanish rapper", and the power... well, don't know if it is really useful power, I suspect that it might be slower on a bendy track that the normal M5.

i hope they didn't kill too many cocs for the seats,

yeah the rims and interior are horrible.. but I like the 800HP 8)
i'll take a normal M5 (black), maybe with the 300HP power add on, could be cool 8)

Exactly... Apart from lack of space under the hood, I can't think of any reason for a setup like that.

I hate its looks but the specs are insane!

But have to see it before I believe it

Shinigami · 02-23-2007, 04:09 PM

Still looks dull, like all M5's.

ae86_16v · 02-23-2007, 05:45 PM

^ Actually I prefer it dull. But it is the car itself that doesn't look good. Can't take away from the specs or the performance though.

I wonder how long would that engine last.

Stoopie · 02-23-2007, 05:53 PM

Love the specs, don't like the rims/interior

About rear mounted turbo chargers, i've talked to plenty of people that have driven cars with that set up and they all have said that turbo lag is almost non exhistent (which is the total opposite of what i thought), but these were on torquey V-8's. And if you have any common sense, turbo lag does not matter if you're driving the car the way it should be driven, with the revs up, this is what "down shifting" is for.
