The 2024 BMW XM Label Red, unveiled by BMW M GmbH, raises the bar for high-performance hybrids, combining a powerful V8 engine with an electric motor to deliver a staggering 738 hp. With its world debut set for April 2023 at the Auto Shanghai International Motor Show, the BMW XM Label Red is the most powerful road-going BMW M model ever made.
M HYBRID Drivetrain: Redefining Power and Efficiency
The M HYBRID system in the BMW XM Label Red exemplifies how electrification enhances high-performance vehicles. The electric motor and V8 engine work together seamlessly, providing instantaneous power delivery that builds emphatically and continues into the highest reaches of the rev range.
With a 94-hp increase over the standard BMW XM, the XM Label Red boasts a maximum system output of 738 hp and a peak torque of 738 lb-ft. Paired with the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the vehicle delivers an unparalleled performance experience.
V8 Engine and Electric Motor: A Powerful Combination
The M HYBRID system combines the traditional qualities of a high-revving 8-cylinder combustion engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and the virtues of electrification. The latest generation of the V8 offers rapid power delivery, increased efficiency, and minimized emissions.
The electric motor, integrated into the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, contributes up to 194 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque to the system output. A patented pre-gearing stage by BMW increases the motor’s torque to a maximum of 332 lb-ft at the transmission input.
Exceptional Performance and Handling
The BMW XM Label Red sprints from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 175 mph when equipped with the optional M Driver’s Package. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery offers an estimated electric range of about 30 miles, allowing for emission-free driving in urban environments.
The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system ensures traction, agility, and directional stability, while the electronically controlled differential lock in the rear axle enhances performance. The vehicle’s sophisticated chassis technology and model-specific tuning provide a wide range of driving experiences, from spirited handling to long-distance comfort.
