2012 M5 currently the world’s fastest sedan

June 29, 2011  |  BMW Recognition

2012 BMW M5
The Nürburgring is considered the toughest, most demanding racing circuit in the world. It’s been the site of record shattering runs since it officially opened in June 1927. Not intended to be an easy loop, it challenges the abilities of the driver and the car. It’s a mountain road gone race track, born in response to the booming German auto industry.  Today, the finest cars in the world are still being raced there, and fatalities are not infrequent.

The report is out that the 2012 M5 just completed the Nürburgring in a record time for a sedan in 7 minutes 55 seconds. Only a few four door models have broken the 8 minute mark, including the Porsche Panamera, Audi RS4, and the Cadillac CTS-V. The old M5 had a top time of 8 minutes 13 seconds. This proves that not only is the new M5 faster than a striking cobra, it has improved handling abilities and an improved chassis to navigate the terrain of the Nürburgring.
