G-Power never ceases to amaze us, this time with the new BMW M6 Hurricane RR, which they claim to be the world’s fastest four seat coupe. Based off the factory BMW M6 Coupe, this Hurricane RR adopted the V10 twin supercharged engine found in the previous M5 Hurricane RR, that produces 800 horsepower around 7,500 rpm and 800 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. At the track, the 0 to 100 km/h was a little slow because of traction problems, but was still less than 4.35 seconds, however the 200 km/h mark was reached in 9.5 seconds, and in just 24.9 seconds it accomplished 300 km/h. Performance upgrades aren’t the only thing found on this BMW M6, G-Power hooked it up with some styling options next.

The Bavarian tuners at HS Motorsport teamed up with Autohaus Kempen to customize the new hot hatchback Audi A1. Powered by the 1.4-liter TSI engine producing 122 PS and 200 Nm of torque, the tuning specialists were able to squeeze extra horsepower with a few modifications. These include a new Fox Sport exhaust system with aggressive tailpipes and an ECU tuning to optimize the air fuel ratio, resulting in 147 PS and 250 Nm of torque. Styling upgrades came next with a H&R coilover suspension kit, redesigned rear bumper, and a silver paintjob. The Audi A1 was lowered 55 mm in the front, and 60 mm at the rear to improve handling while giving it a race car look.

The Nissan Juke is becoming more popular by the day, and we’re slowly seeing new aftermarket parts available for the unique Japanese crossover. Previously, we posted some pictures of a photo-shopped Nissan Juke tuning job, but now the tuners from Germany’s Cobra Technology have released these styling upgrades. Giving it a rougher and tougher look are a stainless steel front grille guard with a pair of LED daytime running lights, which are also said to meet the European pedestrian safety standards. Other custom parts consist of tubular side steps, a sports exhaust system with twin tail pipes, and the customers choice of 19 or 20-inch multi-spoke alloy rims for their modified Juke.

The car wrap specialists from SkinzWraps had this Bugatti Veyron on display, which was a collaboration project between them and the Epson printer ink company. The design you can see here is beyond wild, and goes to show that any type of skin for your car is possible. All you have to do is send them your idea and they can come up with a wrap to fit your car perfectly. The company even has a new FastSkinz vehicle wrap material that is said to make cars more efficient. Supposedly, these skins reduce drag to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. We’ll just have to see how this forms over the next couple years. Maybe all future production vehicles will be wrapped instead of painted, who knows?

The latest Need For Speed video game called Hot Pursuit is close to being released by EA Games, so the makers put together a video for the fans. It shows a Lamborghini Murcielago as a police car driven by Roll Deep, and a Porsche 911 GT3 handled by Ben Collins, formerly known as The Stig. After playing the older Need For Speed on both the Xbox and PS3 with some friends I can say it’s a pretty addicting and entertaining car game, however the new Call of Duty Black Ops that came out this week will have me passing this one up. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is scheduled to be released on the 19th of the November. Hit the jump to see the video.
