Isn't this the video from months ago?

 

[PiKe]

What is the point in the crazy artwork?

 

[Firestar_3x]

To hide some of the cars looks / details at a guess.

So you can't tell the car bodywork detailing and shape... doesn't work that well, though.

I posted this on another forum about a different prototype car but it's relevant here now as someone has asked...

The wrap is just to cover up what the shapes of the car are to make it less obvious. In the flesh it won't have a massive effect, but in photos it does make it hard to work out the shapes of the cars, the wraps vary between companies and vehicles, for example here are some more in concept/preproduction/prototype testing:

BMW X1
Audi A1
BMW F10 M5
BMW F30 3 Series

Oh and, liking the M5.

 

[peterattheboro]

Ewwwww!

That shape looks like a Proton or something!

 

[InvaderGIR]

With all the swirls etc. and likely lacking of grille you really can't see what it's meant to look like...not sure if that's a 5 or a 3 in the background either...looks 5ish?

Do want.

What is the engine configuration in the F10 M5? V8 turbo?

Bi/Twin turbo.

Saw it testing a few months back whilst out the ring:

At the time when we were there it looked like it was being benchmarked against the XFR, E63, Panamera Turbo and the old M5

 

[Begbie]

NOM

 

[D-Ranged]

Sounds like they gone back to v8's should be interesting.

 

[Clarkey]

if nothing else, the turbo's have spelt the end for great sounding M engines.

+1

Going by the sound of that M5, I disagree.

 

[Serpantine]

That M5 Sounds insane, how can you say it's 'ruined' it.

Around 30second and 1.06 just do it for me to be honest.

Do want!
