only 700hp must get it to 1000hp

Remember that the new double clutch transmission is good for "only" 750 Nm.

I would say the hp's for the improved M5 will be around 600.

As you see this is not LCI M5 so it is tuner special, not official car.

Why don't they try a supercharger. With turbos in the rear there has to be a lag. And the sound of the turbos winding up reminds me of a japanese car.
I suspect that there is not enough room for a supercharger.
Have a look at the next M5 you see, space next to the engine is very limited, the high efficiency headers take up a lot of space..
