This is Mansory’s take on the G90 BMW M5

Might we interest you in some automotive smelling salts to clear that Monday fug? Mansory has the goods with its new G90-generation M5 kit, and we’ll get on to those looks in a second. First, a power check.

The P850 takes the hybridised 4.4-litre biturbo V8 even further: performance is up from 727bhp and 737lb ft to 838bhp and 848lb ft. It should mean this G90 beats the previous F90’s 3.4s 0-62mph sprint - a feat the standard car... cannot.

Aside from the extra power, Mansory has sculpted in a series of lightweight carbon fibre body components, which, ironically, probably bloat the M5’s 2.4-tonne weight even further.

They’ve been coated in that strange pastel-like paint seen on several other Mansory products, like the MXC Pergusa, with orange highlights spawning across the body and brake calipers for more shock and horror.

The M5 also gains forged 22in 10-spoke alloys - probably the subtlest thing about the package - and a new bonnet that features a sort of scorpion tail exoskeleton frame, with a central pillar that meets the glow-up grille. Beneath it, the engine gets a similarly themed cover.

At the posterior, Mansory has added a small rear wing and a revised triple sports exhaust system, which it says looks ‘stunning’. Like we said, we'll leave you to make that call.

Pricing for the P850 package has yet to be disclosed, but do consider you’ll need £111,605 for the base car.
