The G-POWER rocker panels smooth the airflow between the wheel houses and give the M5 and longer, lower and sleeker appearance. At the same time the spoiler minimizes lift on the front axle at high speeds. Its large air inlets provide optimal supply of cooling air for all radiators and front brakes. ![]() The G-POWER front apron, upon request also available made from especially light carbon fiber, replaces the production part in its entirety. The enormous performance places extreme demands on aerodynamics, tires, suspension and brakes. Aided by the specially cooled G-POWER anti-slip differential the engine propels the car to a top speed of 340 km/h. Contrary to the production car the G-POWER HURRICANE is not limited electronically to a top speed of 250 km/h. The 300-km/h barrier is shattered in less than 29.5 seconds. ten seconds to 200 km/h the advantage grows to 5.0 seconds. With a sprint time from rest to 100 km/h of 4.2 seconds the two-ton sedan bests its production counterpart by half a second. The new peak of 700 Nm is reached at 7,200 rpm.Īcceleration performance benefits accordingly. The high efficiency rate of the two superchargers, each spinning at up to 100,000 rpm and more, results in a torque diagram that rises early and at 3,800 rpm already surpasses the production engine’s peak torque of 520 Nm, delivered at 6,000 rpm. The supercharged V10 engine produces its maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW between 7,500 and 8,200 rpm. The inner workings of the four-valve ten-cylinder engine are optimized for even higher engine speeds with lightweight, precision-matched high-performance forged pistons from technology partner MAHLE. Specially developed mapping for engine electronics and SMG gearbox controls coordinate the perfect interaction of all new components. This measure optimizes power yield and, in combination with a larger water-cooled oil cooler with pressure reservoir, also ensures the engine’s thermal health. The pre-compressed charge air is cooled down in a highly efficient dual-flow water-to-air intercooler system that is mounted above the engine. With a maximum airstream volume of up to 1,200 kg per hour per cylinder bank the compressors are designed for an even higher power output. The ASA charger is also small, which allows G-POWER to install two of them in the tight confines of the M5 engine bay. Contrary to conventional mechanical chargers that waste a large portion of the additional power on being driven themselves, the ASA compressor has an efficiency rate of up to 80 percent. The system uses one belt-driven ASA T1-12 compressor for each cylinder bank. To achieve the desired increase in power output of 223 hp / 164 kW for the fast-revving engine that normally produces 507 hp / 373 kW, G-POWER, in cooperation with ASA Automotive, has developed a high-tech supercharging system. At the heart of the high-performance sedan is a five-liter V10 engine with G-POWER EVO II supercharging system that delivers 730 hp / 537.3 kW. The 340-km/h G-POWER HURRICANE is based on the latest BMW M5. G-POWER HURRICANE: The World’s Fastest and Most Powerful Street-Legal BMW G-Power also offers the option to upgrade any existing M5 with the twin-compressor system, modifications to suspension, brakes and wheels for €89,000 or $130,000. The Hurricane is available as a fully converted car starting at €240,000 or approx $350,000. G-Power also offers a series of upgrades for the suspension, brakes and the appearance of the M5. The Hurricance breaks the 300 km/h (187 mph) barrier in less than 29.5 second it continues to accelerate until it reaches its top speed of 340 km/h (212 mph). The result is a sprint time from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 4.2 sec thus beating its production counterpart by half a second. The tuner has added two superchargers to the M5’s 507 HP 5.0-liter V10 engine raising output to 730 HP between 7,500 and 8,200 rpm while the peak torque of 700 Nm is reached at 7,200 rpm. Though we have no way of confirming G-Powers’s claims, the Hurricane is indeed one hell of a beast. According to G-Power, the BMW M5 based “Hurricane” is the fastest and most powerful street-legal bimmer in the world.
