"Hybrid and Electric Cars Take on Nurburgring in Latest Tests"

BMW is testing the next-generation M5 at the Nurburgring race track, with the sedan hiding its new styling under a full-body camouflage wrap and cladding. The M5 will arrive with BMW’s dual-display setup on the dash and the latest iDrive software installed. The new M5 will be a potent hybrid, with rumors suggesting it will have the same powertrain as the BMW XM, but with different tuning. The sedan might not reach US dealers until later next year, and the big reveal could include an M5 Touring wagon.
