The company built the X5 with a 6.0 L P75 V12 from their Le Mans LMR race car. The motor produces 700+ horsepower which is more than the Le Mans race car because the engine in the X5 does not have air restrictors. They completed this project years ago but this is the first time we&#8217;ve heard of it. It sure sounds amazing going around the ring.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?p=3985&quot;}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3985 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=3986'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-attachment-id=\"3986\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=3986\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?fit=1100%2C733&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1100,733\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 60D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1301658114&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.04&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;700 horsepower Le Mans V12 inside a BMW X5 engine bay&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_01.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=3993'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-attachment-id=\"3993\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=3993\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/bmw_x5_with_le_mans_v12_08.jpg?fit=1100%2C732&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1100,732\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Tom Kirkpatrick&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D700&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1301578886&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;This image is copyright free for editorial use.
