Actually, it’s an exceptional performer in any market, with brutal acceleration that matches or beats all but the most hyper of hypercars. It’s hard to believe the madness started 35 years ago with the first BMW M5, but Munich has no intention of letting the milestone pass without an honorable mention. In this case, that mention takes the form of an appearance package for the midsize sedan called the M5 Edition 35 Years. M is for More Power: BMW M5 Competition Has Way More Power Than Advertised ⠀ Watch BMW M5 Competition Accelerate Like A Supercar To Top Speed To make it happen, the automaker mobilized its BMW Individual group for some special touches that suggest this Bimmer likes to tread on the dark side.

2023 Audi Q5 E-Tron Makes Spy Photo Debut, Already Has Production Body
Say hello to Audi's version of the electric Porsche Macan. Keeping up with the Volkswagen Group's growing EV portfolio is turning into a full-time job. Audi hasn't even revealed the MEB-based Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-Tron in production guise and yet it's already testing a completely different zero-emissions SUV. Our spies happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture the first batch of images with Audi's equivalent of the next-generation Porsche Macan. The prototype already appears to have all of the final body panels in place, although it's missing the lower front grille while those basic taillights are only a provisional setup used during testing. You can easily tell this is an electric vehicle not just by the lack of any visible exhaust tips, but also due to the closed-off front grille since there's no combustion engine that needs cooling.

Adamo happy with Hyundai fightback in WRC Finland
Adamo demanded better from his colleagues in Finland after the defence of their manufacturers’ title kicked off in poor fashion at January's Rally Monte Carlo, which the Italian intimated on Sunday had been the result of burnout. The Alzenau-based squad won the World Rally Championship's only snow event thanks to a faultless display by Ott Tanak, with Thierry Neuville maintaining his strong start to the new season by making it back-to-back third-place finishes. Difficulties still needed to be overcome in Finland, however, including an in-car communication issue between Neuville and his fellow countryman, Martijn Wydaeghe. Adamo was also called upon to help get to the bottom of why Craig Breen was struggling to find the i20 Coupe WRC car’s sweet spot on his return to the series for the first time since last September's Estonia Rally.
