Celebrating their 100th Hurricane, G-Power has made this BMW M5 unique with some extra power under the hood. By installing an Alpha-N engine management unit, the powerplant now produces 830 PS while the torque stayed the same at 800 Nm. If you missed our previous coverage of the G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RR, then be sure to check out its specifications. G-Power has set new records with this BMW M5 by reaching 372 km/h or 231 mph which is approximately the same as a McLaren F1 supercar.
The tuning company G-Power has released this single image of the latest program for the 2012 BMW M5 F10. From the factory, the BMW M5 produces a stunning 560 horsepower and 680 newton meters of torque from the 4.4-liter twin turbo V8. With the G-Power addition of a custom exhaust system and ECU tuning, the powerplant now outputs 640 HP and 777 Nm of peak torque. This allows the luxury sedan to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds while reaching 200 km/h in 11.9 seconds.
German car tuning company Edo Competition is well known for exotic car projects, however this time they stuck with a more practical budget customizing the BMW M5 Touring model. Calling it the BMW M5 Dark Edition, performance tuning for the 5.0-liter V10 engine consists of a reprogrammed ECU, new air filters, catalytic converters, and a high performance sport exhaust system. This results in a power increase from the factory 500 HP and 521 Nm of torque to 555 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque. On the race track it is capable of a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.2 seconds while reaching a top speed of 305 km/h.
BMW is still working on the production model of the new 5-Series sports car, however tuning companies across Europe like Prior Design are starting to announce the plans with some teaser pictures. Here we have some initial images of the F10 BMW 5-Series, which also were featured on the new 6-Series coupe and convertible models. Prior Design has been limited with the details, but it is obviously that styling package consists of a redesigned front bumper, front lip, hood vents, side skirts, fender vents, new rear bumper, and integrated diffuser holding the four exhaust pipes. The wheels will round out the package, and as we see here a nice set of black alloy rims complete the tuning job for the German BMW M5. More details and final pictures should be released soon.
Here is the latest car tuning project from G-Power, the new BMW M5 Hurricane GS. All of the G-Power Hurricane cars have been impressive, but this M5 holds the title for the world’s fasts LPG (liquid petroleum gas) powered car. Based of the BMW M5 E60, the Hurricane GS features a SK II package consisting of the LPG conversion, twin ASA superchargers, water-cooled intercooler, and a remapped ECU. With these modifications the custom 5.0-liter V10 power plant produces 660 PS and 650 Nm of torque. The amazing performance numbers allow the BMW M5 Hurricane to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, hit 200 km/h in 11.4 seconds, and accomplish an overall top speed of 333 km/h to set a world record.
