CMC (Currency Motor Cars) tunes BMW M5 Twin Turbo to more than 800hp
Currency Motor Cars in Westlake, CA has introduced its first project in an "unprecedented line of supercars" The flagship model is a 2006 BMW M5 that can reach a top speed of 240mph.
Its high compression V-10 engine has been altered by company founder Ron Cash to accommodate twin-turbos and a custom, hand crafted inter-cooled system to kick out an astounding 810 horses.
Although turbochargers are usually located under the hood, this M5 has its turbos under the rear
bumper, where the rear silencers once were. Air is channeled to this location via a tube running along the passenger side of teh car. Amazingly, the seven-speed SMG transmission did not require any modifications.
The mind-boggling power of this vehicle is complimented by the exquisite $100,000 alteration of its interior. The leather in the steering wheel is the same as the leather in the seats. Fully aniline dyed Florida Crocodile in black.
The custom interior is all hand stitched, designed and installed by CMC co-founder Judy Amic-Angelo.
Currency Motors intends to build ten of these custom M5s, for $350,000 apiece.
