Lumma Design Twin-Supercharged BMW M5 CLR 730 RS

Uh-oh, der Germans have gotten into the Jagermiester and found the crayon box again. Check out this Twin-Supercharged BMW M5 CLR 730 RS from a tuning house called Lumma Design. Black and white on the outside, red and whit on the inside, and they went and made the blower intakes orange. The last time I saw something this extravagant it was marching down Market Street.

If you can ignore the colors, then the brass tacks of the ride are fairly notable. Lumma says that the plant under the hood is the most powerful engine ever in a road-legal BMW. The factory 5.0-liter V10 unit, which is nothing to sneeze at, cranks out 507HP and 520Nm o'torque, and Lumma saw fit to attach a pair of superchargers, bolt on a new sport exhaust system and do a bunch of other mods.

So what used to be a meager 507 and 520 is now a very impressive 730HP and a peak torque output of 700Nm. Said power und grunt is enough to motivate the sled from naught to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. If you can wait for 100 seconds to tick by, you'll be doing 200 km/h, 29.5 seconds will bring you 300km/h and it will top out at 367.4 km/h.

There's the other "normal" tuner tricks in evidence. An uprated M5 brake system with 6-piston calipers, 405mm drilled disks in the front, 4-piston calipers with 380mm drilled discs hanging out the back. An adjustable sport suspension allows the car to be lowered by 45mm, handy for speed bumps.

The panda inspired two-tone wide- body kit gets you a new hood, trunk lid with an integrated spoiler, mirror caps, entrance strips, door handles and fenders. They're all made of carbon fiber, natch, and Lumma alleges they are designed to improve the car's aerodynamics at high speeds. Sure, big wheels and meats: 21-inch lightweight forged alloys and 255/30s up front and 295/25s at the back.

We won't go into the color & concept end of things here. A picture being worth a thousand words and all.
