To all you die-hard Newcastle United fans: your car has arrived in the shape of a 730bhp BMW M5 styled by Lumma Design.
Because let's be honest, only a Magpies supporter can really be seen in a black and white BMW M5 - and it's quite the beast.
Lumma Design has fitted the German super-saloon with a set of G-Power twin-superchargers which has increased power from 507bhp to 730bhp.
This makes it more powerful than any production Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche - and as a result, makes it faster than anything from these giants of the supercar world.
The German tuning house claims the CLR 730 RS is capable of 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds and 228mph - the same as the G Power M5 Hurricane and making it the joint-fastest four-door saloon ever.
Lumma has also fitted it with 21-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension and 380mm disc brakes.
There's no official price, but these supercar-slaying brutes normally cost in excess of £300,000 which means for the same money you can buy a BMW M5, Ferrari 458 Italiaand a Nissan GT-R. So what's it going to be? A trio of awesomeness or a bonkers Beemer? Both, preferably…
