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.

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.

BMW M5 by G-Power
When we reffer to a BMW “M” series we know that the car is a sporting luxury one made by the best BMW engineers. Owning a car like this one is probably a dream for each of us and even though the price is a bit high, it’s surely worth every penny. The BMW M5 has one of the most powerful engines of 2006, an engine that could reach over 500 HP at 7,750 rpm. Even though the car’s really beautiful from stock, the guys from G-Power thought it could use their touch. They tried to make the car’s exterior more stylish and added a lot of carbon fiber elements that would also make that lighter. New front bumper is really elegant, side skirts match the car’s design perfectly and in the rear part a new rear bumper that includes a diffuser improving air low under the car.
