Do you happen to have an extra Le Mans-winning engine laying around? BMW did in 1999 so they dropped it into a new X5 for sale. Our affinity for Bavarian concept cars will never subside, so we figured you might like to know the details of the build. It is just as potent as the KITH for BMW Collaboration!

Pulled out of the corner of the BMW Classic Museum in Munich, we see how Hans Stuck was able to scorch the ‘Ring. Back in June of 2001, he was able to clock a lap at 7:42.253 seconds, still fast even 2 decades later. The X5 is a fun and practical SUV, and many of them have V8 power.
