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.

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 G-Power tuning specialists have released this new BMW X5 M Typhoon project that features a wide body kit for the Sport Activity Vehicle. This BMW SAV also received a power increase from the notorious tuners, which optimized the efficiency of the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. G-Power hooked up the BMW X5 M with a new air flow system that improves the cooling by 15%, and as a result boosts the power figures to 725 hp at 6,000 rpm, and 890 Nm of torque at 1,500 rpm. At higher rpm’s the torque has been limited to 1,000 Nm, while the X5 transmission needed modifications to handle the increase of power.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a G-Power tuning project, however new records have been set with the release of the four door BMW M5 Hurricane RR. At the track the car was able to reach an amazing 372 km/h, with a 0 to 100 k/h time of just 4.35 seconds. Contributing to the world’s fastest sedan title is a redesigned twin supercharger system consisting of ASAT1-316 units, and new internals for the 10-cylinder powerplant. G-Power used the precisely balanced and lightweight MAHLE forged pistons to give them lower compression while improving strength. The result is 800 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque after a final ECU remap to the BMW M5 Hurricane RR.
