this is the motha of all e90s

even the new m3 v8, as blogged about HERE, would have to give way to this godzilla e90 m5...surprise

get this, a TWIN-TURBO M5...yes, and it's pumping out a full-blooded 800hp and the engine itself has yet to be touched...the owner of the car and the company selling it, Currency Motor Cars is a multi-millionaire in IT and his IT engineers took a whole 4 months plus to crack the ECU encoding to reprogram the ECU to take the dual turbines into account...and on top of this, it's luxurious as hell (although not to everyone's tastes, that leather)...

and the coolest thing is that the turbines are located at the exhaust outlets!!!!cool






more information

Currency Motor Cars is proud to introduce the first of an unprecedented line of supercars. This flagship model is an ingeniously modified 2006 BMW M5 that can reach a top speed of 240 mph. This makes it the fastest, most powerful luxury 4-door sedan on the planet. CMC co-founder, Ron Cash, has brilliantly outfitted BMW’s compression V-10 engine with twin-turbo chargers and a custom inter-cooler system to kick out an astonishing 800+ horses. No one in the world has been able to achieve this...until now. This is the only car of its kind. The mind-boggling power of this vehicle is complimented by the exquisite alterations of it's interior. The leather in the steering wheel, arm rests and dash is the same as the leather in the seats. Fully aniline dyed Florida alligator in black. Only the finest suede and leathers have been used, much like the old Delahaye and Bugatti roadsters in the 1930's. This custom interior is all meticulously hand stitched, designed and installed by Judy Amic-Angelo, one of the the most respected product designers in the country.
