The German car manufacturer BMW has introduced its most powerful street machine ever – it is the special version of the XM crossover “Label Red”. Combining the power of the 4.4-liter V8 engine and the electric motor, the car develops 738 horsepower and 1000Nm of torque. The standard model develops only 644 horsepower and 800Nm.
To achieve more power, BMW has improved the V8 engine with two turbines, which is complemented by an electric motor built into the 8-speed automatic transmission. By itself, the V8 engine develops 577 horsepower, while the rest of the power is added by the electric motor. In order to transfer all this power to the road, the car is, of course, equipped with an all-wheel drive system.
Considering the rather decent power parameters, performance is also more than adequate – 100km/h is reached in 3.7 seconds, which is 0.4 seconds faster than the regular XM. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, but with the purchase of the M Driver’s Package, the maximum speed is increased to 282 km/h.
In order to visually distinguish the new version from other XM versions, BMW has used red accents on the exterior of the car – they can be seen around the front radiator grille, exhaust pipes, windows and a few other places. Label Red is offered with more than 50 BMW Individual body colors.
Various red accents can also be found in the car interior, as well as the serial number of the car “1/500”. Of course, only 500 units will be produced, making this a limited edition model. Production of the car will take place in the United States and will begin in August. Undeniably, this car is aimed at customers in China, the US and the Middle East. If you want to get this car for yourself, then the prices in the UK will start from 170 thousand pounds.
