BMW has officially confirmed that the upcoming seventh generation of the BMW M5 sedan will be accompanied by a Touring variant in the US market for the first time. While details on performance remain undisclosed, rumors suggest a plug-in powertrain with over 700 horsepower and all-wheel drive. The M5 will debut with an M Hybrid drivetrain similar to that of the BMW M Hybrid V8 GTP race car. Styling cues are expected to convey its potent capabilities, with production slated to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
