German car tuning firm G-Power got their hands on the powerful and new BMW M3, and added a touch of their own, calling it the BMW M3 Tornado. From the factory the BMW M3 comes with a V8 capable of producing 420 hp and 400 Nm of torque. G-Power decided to add a light supercharger from ASA and tune it to 0.3 bars of boost to increase the numbers to 500 hp and 480 Nm of torque. Adding to the supercharger is an aftermarket intercooler and performance exhaust system giving it a nice powerful sound. It is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, and with the upgrades it can sprint from 0-200 km/h in only 13.5 seconds, compared to the stock 15.8 seconds. G-Power offers to remove the electronic speed limiter for the customers, and by doing so the BMW M3 Tornado can reach a top speed of 320 km/h or 199 mph.
