Peak 90s engineering madness Renault literally took the V10 engine from a championship-winning Williams F1 car and stuffed it into the middle of a carbon-fiber minivan

It doesn’t sound good. It sounds unreal. The E60 M5’s V10 was a Formula 1 engine. Nothing sounds like it, not before or after. The E60 M5’s S85B50 V10 was born from BMW’s F1 research, ten throttle bodies, 8,250 rpm redline and a flat-plane–like firing order that gave it that razor-edged howl. Every gear change from the SMG-III gearbox adds a bark of mechanical aggression, making the car feel alive even at idle. The titanium valves, semi-dry sump, and ultra-short stroke allowed it to rev like a race engine. No turbos, no filters, just raw combustion turned into music. BMW has never made anything like it again.

BMW M5, E60. This is what made it special. The engine. V10 in a family saloon, what was BMW thinking or snorting back then? 500 hp from the S85B50 V10 engine, high revving and one of the best sounding V10's ever and the best sounding BMW of all time. Nothing else matters as much. Of course, there are downsides. Reliability isn’t great. This is not a simple car to own. But that’s part of it, high risk, high reward. You take care of it, and it gives you that V10 sound. Some even converted them to manual to ditch the SMG gearbox and USA even got the manual from factory. And there’s a Touring as well, even more added insanity.

🚨#BREAKING: The NTSB has ruled out initial speculation that the Titan submersible’s implosion was solely caused by a critical carbon-fiber hull failure from repeated dives, instead attributing it to OceanGate’s inadequate engineering and safety oversight.

A Mini Cooper with TWO Hayabusa engines. 😭🔥 Yes, you read that right. Someone decided one motorcycle engine wasn't enough and stuffed two Suzuki Hayabusa powerplants into a Mini Cooper. It's the kind of ridiculous engineering that makes SEMA so entertaining.

A lot of people say the F1 V10 engine has the best sound in the world-but wait until you hear the scream of this 5-Rotor Wankel. Unlike conventional piston engines, a 5-rotor configuration produces an incredibly high and consistent sound frequency at high RPMs, eerily similar to legendary race cars from the early 2000s era. And it's not just about the sound. The power generated by a setup this extreme is absolutely insane when unleashed on the dyno. This is a true engineering masterpiece-where precision meets pure, unfiltered power. Put on your earphones, crank the volume all the way up, and enjoy this mechanical symphony.

Driver sleeps on the middle of the road 🤣 A family of four is heading home after a party. The driver, super tired from all the traffic, falls asleep without noticing, and parks the car right in the middle of the road!
