Without any hybrid assist, the B58 produces up to 382 horsepower on its own, though the M750Le is rumored to use a new version of the engine (codenamed the B58B30O2) with over 400.
This doesn't even factor in the electric motor, which could bring total output to around 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. BMW already builds a plug-in hybrid variant of the 7 Series called the 745e xDrive iPerformance with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, though it only produces 389 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque.

I really hope they don't kill off the straight petrol cars, the electrification (hybrid supported systems) are horrible!
