BMW showed the 5-series Hybrid at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show, which had a 214HP gas engine paired with a 92HP electric engine. Recent spy shots suggest it is close to production. The hybrid, along with the new 5-Series range will have new front and rear fascia along with updated headlights. As a concept, the electric engine managed 47 miles on its own, but this figure should be improved. It will debut in China later this year.

The C63 Black is already sold out, but there is a toned down version on the way. It will be called the AMG "Edition 507". The main changes occur under the bonnet (i refrain from using "hood" as bonnet is a more international term"), with the 6.2L V8 now making 507HP, thus the name, and 450 lb-ft of torque. The 507 is 6.6 pounds lighter than the Black and has a modified ECU. However, the Black is still more powerful by a whopping 3HP and 7 lb-ft of torque.
The 507 is RWD with a 7-speed automatic. Mercedes-Benz says that the 507 can go from 0-60MPH in 4.1 seconds. The 507 also includes updated brakes and 19-inch lightweight rims.
The Edition 507 will debut at this years Geneva Motor Show and will be at your local Mercedes-Benz dealership this summer. It should cost in the $70,000 US dollar area.
