The BMW TwinPower Turbo eight-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 550i.

The eight-cylinder power unit in the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo provides highest level power and performance while at the same time reducing both fuel consumption and emissions to an even lower level. The V8 with TwinPower Turbo technology, combined with double-Vanos and High Precision Injection, offers maximum output of 300 kW (407 hp). Peak torque is 600 Nm maintained consistently between 1,750 and 4,500 rpm, and accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h takes just 5.5 seconds.
