Seventh-generation icon: 727 hp V8 plug-in hybrid, Isle of Man Green.
The seventh-generation M5 is the first hybrid one: a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor make 727 hp together, 3.5 seconds to a hundred and a silent exit from the hotel courtyard. M xDrive all-wheel drive with a rear-drive mode on a button, five proper seats and a boot that takes a week of luggage. Isle of Man Green reads unmistakably in traffic.
It is one sedan for every task of a trip: a morning meeting on Chavchavadze Avenue, the mountain road to Kazbegi in the afternoon, dinner in Kakheti at night. Renting the BMW M5 in Tbilisi with Autohub: delivery to your address or the airport, full insurance included, with a driver if you prefer. The calendar fills fast, so lock the dates early.
