BMW X5 Powered By A Le Mans V12

While surfing the internet I came across BMW’s custom X5 LM. Essentially they took an X5 and installed a 700 horsepower, 6.0L V12 from their Le Mans LMR race car. They completed this project many years ago but this is the first time I have heard of it. It sure sounds amazing going around the ring.

Watch as a very lucky passenger got to ride in it with professional driver Martin Tomczyk.
This is in German but it shows more footage from outside and inside the X5.
