Shown (privately) at the 2000 Geneva Auto Show, the X5 Le Mans experimental vehicle is an X5 with a twist; a powerful twist.
The X5 Le Mans is powered by the V12 engine from the Le Mans winner. This means that the engine of the X5 Le Mans has a power plant with 700 bhp (514 kW) and torque of 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) at 5000 rpm. The X5 Le Mans accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is 278 km/h (173 mph).
The idea behind the X5 Le Mans experimental vehicle is to demonstrate the X5's real absolute limits in practice. As a side effect, the work of the BMW engineers is a compelling showpiece whose powerful looks reflect its impressive inner values.
