  • G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANE

    2017 G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANEAnd here we are reviewing one more badass mahine. Bold, menacing and beautiful, this G-POWER M3 GT2 S HURRICANE model is ready for some track action. Of course, the engineering team has included tons of features and upgrades, so we would waste no more time and start exploring the lucky M3 vehicle.

    Exterior design

    2017 G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANE

    This vehicle is beautiful, no doubt in that. We see all these classic BMW lines and curves that are blended with some exclusive G-POWER features. The first thing that one notices about the vehicle is its color: a vivid orange body finish that enhances the sporty nature and also contributes to this aggressive and unique styling.

    The second thing that people would instantly recognize is the wide carbon-fiber wide body kit. This one is not just stylish and sexy: it also reduces the overall vehicle weight and provides it with large air intakers. Furthermore, this addition also contributes to improved downforce and therefore driving stability.

    There are also lightweight forged 19-inch competition grade alloy wheels, wrapped by 295/30ZR19 and 325/30ZR19 trackday Cup tyres. Right next to them there is a special braking system installed: ceramic brake discs, along with six and four-pot callipers ensure tight and stable decelerating force. Sweet.

    Interior styling

    2017 G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANE

    The cockpit is pretty straigthforward. You would’t expect something different form a race-focused machine, would you? It is clean and super driver-oriented. There is a full rollover cage, sound insulation material and of course all these well-known features: sporty seats, dedicated dashboard and special wheel. In fact, the most interesting part about the interior is that it is entirely dominated by special Alcantara leather. It is literally everywhere: on the roof, dashboard, steering wheel. Nice, isn’t it?

    Drivetrain system

    2017 G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANE

    Now we are talking! The heart of the beast is a mighty V8 engine that was further heavily revised. In fact, it was completely disassembled and enforced with lightwegit forged components that not only reduce the overall wegith, but also contribute to even more power and better performance ratings. It generates a total of 720hp (529kW) and 650Nm of torque. Or, in other words, this machine is capable of finishing a 0-200km/h sprint in mere 9.8 seconds and develop a top speed of 330km/h. Neat!

    There is also a dedicated supercharger system installation, revised shock absorber system and tons of small improvements and upgrades that altogether make big difference.

    In fact, here’s a sweet video of the vehicle in action:

  • What would a love story between G-POWER and BMW bring us? Tons of power

    2016 G-POWER BMW M3 TwinPower Turbo G-POWER team has decided to tweak a rather sexy BMW vehicle  and make it deliver a bit more horsepower. How much exactly? Extra 150hp. Or, in other words, the sweetheart now delivers a total of 600hp (441kW).

    Also, there are some additional drivetrain tweaks and additions. For example, the team has geared the BMW M 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo with exclusive titanium exhaust system, new downpipes, rear ailwnxwe box and more.

    In fact, one of the most notable features is the revised fuel, spark and boost mapping, all exclusive and fine-tuned just for this bad boy. What is also special about the tweaking process is that the engineering crew has used G-POWER Bi-Tronic 2 V3 electronic control unit remap that is calibrated to each individual vehicle engine system for optimal results. Cool.

    2016 G-POWER BMW M3 TwinPower Turbo

    But let’s talk about the engine power itself. The super comprehensive engine modifications include aerodynamic-tweaked turbine wheels, flow-optimised CNC-machined turbines and compressor housings. This all results in efficient use of the generated 600 horsepower and the significantly increased 740Nm of torque that altogether aid the lucky BMW vehicle to reach 100 km/h (62mph) in mere 3.5 seconds and chase a top speed of 320km/h. Incredible, isn’t it?

    However, for those of you (if there are any at all) who do not want to get the maximum of the setup, G-POWER team offers a kind of basic version that offers a total output of 520hp (382kW) and 700Nm of torque with a selection of Bi-Tronic 2 V1 ECU remap or the Bi-Tronic 5 V1 external power module.

    2016 G-POWER BMW M3 TwinPower Turbo

    The middle choice offers 560 horsepower (411kW) and 720Nm via the same Bi-Tronik 2 V2 remap or the Bi-Tronic 5 V2 system that works with the additional exhaust downpipes, but this time without the catalytic convertors.

    Additional goodies, available with all the power system choices include special chassis fine-tuning, special G-POWER GM4-RS coilover suspension, low unsprung weight and neat HURRICANE RR forged double forged design wheels. We do like it.

  • G-Power BMW 760i Breaks Standards with 610HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Front ViewG-Power BMW 760i or in other words the next BMW featured on our site today. This time, knowing that G-Power is extremely capable in boosting performance, we will focus exactly on this. Or to say it like this, you will find out how the experts have managed to add 66 hp and 120 Nm to this 7-Series.

    Precisely, the V12 bi-turbo engine in the current 760i F01 is capable of boasting 544 hp (400 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) of torque. This is quite impressive, but when it comes to engine tuning, people always demand more.

    G-Power is Not Satisfied with Stocks 544HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Engine View

    As a result, the great looking BMW 760i received a Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module from G-Power. It has been installed between the factory ECU and its data bus input. In addition, the module starts working only when the driver demands full throttle.

    G-Power BMW 760i F01 adds 66HP.

    SEE ALSO: G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

    The result is stunning and it is 610 hp (513 kW) at 6,000rpm and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of maximum torque achieved at 2,600 rpm. If you wonder about the acceleration time, it is obvious that when you add more horsepower, you will also achieve much faster results. So, the 0-100 km/h sprint is now covered in just 4.3 seconds.

    However, these extra 66 hp literally demand additional sporting dimensions. First, the reliability and longevity of the V12 engine is kept intact via the built-in protection system of the module. How does it work? It does not allow the extra power to be used until the prescribed engine coolant temperature has been reached.

    More Power = Better Wheels

    G-Power BMW 760i Side View

    Next, to make it look even more monstrous and complement the additional output, the specialists at G-Power have also added 21-inch diameter HURRICANE RR forged alloys in Jet Black with a DIAMOND CUT finish. Then, they have fitted the new wheels with Michelin tires in the dimensions of 255/35ZR21 at the front and 295/30ZR21 at the rear.

    Much better than the original ones, right? So what do you think of this BMW?

  • G-Power Introduces the Mighty BMW M6 F06 Gran Coupe

    G-Power-BMW-M6-F06-Gran-Coupe-THUMBG-Power BMW M6 F06 Gran Coupe is the latest addition in the garage of the tuners. The biggest change they have made is via their G-Power Bi-Tronik, which is increasing the power output of the M6 Gran Coupe to the staggering 740 hp (544 kW) and 975 Nm (720 lb-ft) of torque. This means a power enhancement of 150 hp and 210 Nm of torque. G-Power uses individual solution for the engine thanks to which the amount of fuel and the ignition timing were modified.

    Precisely, these modifications were made by a micro-processor that is patched in before the standard BMW ECU. In addition, ASA supercharger was used for the supercharger systems and the exhaust system has been substantially reworked and now feature cover catalysts replacement pipes and a Titanium exhaust system. The deep and throaty sound is what also complements the addition of this exhaust.

    The increase on power also results in faster acceleration time. The figure from stand still to 200 km/h is now just 10,5 seconds and the top speed is more than 300 km/h. In terms of suspension, first to notice are the 21 inch G-Power Hurricane RR forged wheels, wrapped with Michelin tyres in the dimensions 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 for the front and rear, respectively. The handling is further improved via the continuously height-adjustable coil-over suspension GM6-RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound.

    Furthermore, there has been also added a new G-Power Braking System with six brake pistons and 420 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle. Additionally, the ceramic braking system reduces the unsprung mass by 50% percent, compared to a system with steel brake discs.

    The interior of this BMW was also reworked entirely and now features exclusive accessories. Take as an example the ergonomically formed sports steering wheel or instruments in G-Power design, the noble carbon-leather fitments. The tuners have covered the plastic surfaces of the standard production M6 cockpit with leather or Alcantara. The visual highlights inside are the illuminated G-Power logos spread throughout the interior.

    The new interior is rounded out by the addition of an exclusive multimedia entertainment system which includes audio system, electric powered iPads in the rear of the front seats, a lowerable main monitor from the headlining and an Apple iMac.

  • G-Power BMW E92 M3 RS Aero Package

    G-Power has presented their aerodynamics enhancement program for BMW E92 M3.

    The “RS” project is completely made from carbon fiber, making the M3 lighter and therefore faster. At the same time the G-POWER “RS” Carbon parts increases the aerodynamic downforce and thus provides for even faster cornering speeds.

    The Aero Package includes a new front spoiler, boot lid including tear-off edge, a new hood, custom rear wing or the stock M3 GTS rear wing. The weight reduction from the bonnet and the boot lid is 10,7 kg.

    Besides the weight reduction and boosting the down-force, the engine received the SK III Sporty Drive supercharger kit and the engine displacement is now 4.6 liters. The result is 720HP (529 kW).

  • G-Power BMW G1 V8 Hurricane RS – 314 km/h [video]

    The mighty BMW 1-Series tuned from G-Power boasts 600HP and 580Nm of torque.

    The power comes from a V8 4.0-liter supercharged engine. This is enough for reaching a top speed of over 330 km/h (205 mph) and staggering acceleration. 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. However, the test driver Christian Gebhardt from sportauto.de managed to it “just” 314 km/h (195 mph), because he drove a prototype with a top speed limiter in the ECU.

    Besides the engine swap, the G1 V8 comes with a set of huge 20” alloy wheels, stainless sports exhaust system, a full coilover suspension and some weight reduction thanks to a carbon fiber hood and a trunk lid.

  • BMW M3 E46 with 450hp by G-POWER

    G-POWER-M3-E46-thumbBy today’s standards, it’s an antique. A ten-year old dinosaur. A car that uses coal for fuel. Okey, so we got a bit carried over here. It’s the BMW M3 E46 – a generation before the latest one. Don’t be deceived though. G-POWER, the guys who got their hands on it, say it is now more powerful than the current V8 powered M3.

    The performance package installed is called the SK I „SPORTY DRIVE“ and if the figures they give are correct, the word “sporty” is a massive understatement – 450 hp and 460 Nm of torque. That’s a straight six engine we are talking about here. None of the pistons have been changed or altered in any way and the exhaust system is pretty standard. It’s not witchcraft either. No, those additional 107 bhp come from a humongous ASA T1-518 centrifugal supercharger – proper racing tech all the way. With it the venerable M3 can get to 200 km/h in 14,7 seconds (a massive improvement over the standard E46 – 18,1 seconds.). Compare that to the 200 km/h time of the E90 and you get a full second in favor of the G-POWERed predecessor.

    One would imagine then, that a more iron fisted stopping power is required as a compliment to the supercharger. Something more up to date maybe. That’s why the package also includes a set of 370 mm front and 342 mm back brake disks that get clamped by calipers that nest up to six brake pistons per wheel. The heat from the significantly bigger pads will be dissipated more efficiently once you exit a corner.

    And yes, you would be doing a lot corners. Especially with that new bound, rebound and height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over suspension. Just be careful not to destroy those Michelin Pilot Sport tires that can, and will have to, endure speeds of up to 300 km/h. Probably it would be best just to keep the M in a garage and occasionaly marvel at them, wrapped around 20-inch G-POWER “Sileverstone Diamond” alloy wheels – prime example of how a 450 hp monstrosity can stay light on its feet.

    As an optional extra, one can go for the G-POWER sports rear muffler – OEM standard product quality and four 76 mm pipes sticking out from the back. A car like that needs the sound to match the performance.

  • Brabus vs G-Power (part 2)

    To continue the epic battle between the two of the most brutal tuning companies on the market -G-Power and Brabus, now we will compare BMW M3 E92 SK II and BULLIT. Both cars are extremely powerful and expensive, of course, especially the Mercedes.

    Let’s start with the less powerful G-Power BMW M3 E92 SK II, which is based on the sports compact executive M3 Coupe. It is powered by the well-known high-revving 4.0 liter V8, which is now boosted to the exquisite 570PS (419 kW) and 565Nm (417 lb-ft) of torque.

    The performance is awesome – 4.4 seconds to 100 km/h and just 12.9 seconds to 200 km/h. The top speed is somewhere around 333 km/h. Actually, you can check the tuned M3 doing that in the video below.

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pXrWx2CV3g

    Besides the incredible acceleration, G-Power SK II also has incredible deceleration system consisting of 396 mm diameter discs on the front axle with 6-piston calipers and 380mm discs at the rear axle with 4-piston calipers. The high-performance brake system alloys decellerations beyond 1.0g.

    Other upgrade is the GM3 RS coilover suspension and Silverstone alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport road tires.

    The overall price is not calculated, but BMW M3 E92 starts at €68 750 and the “Sporty Drive” supercharger kit is priced at €11 500.

    Continuing with Brabus Bullit based on the mighty Mercedes AMG C 63 AMG originally producing 457PS and 600Nm of torque from the most powerful naturally aspirated 6.2 liter V8 in the world. However, Brabus decided that this engine is not good enough and they fitted the small C-Class with enormous bi-turbo V12. It develops 730PS (540 kW) at 5100RPM and 1320Nm (970 lb-ft) of torque from 2100RPM.

    The performance – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, to 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds and top speed of more than 362 km/h (225 mph). The car is way more powerful and faster than the G-Power SK II and still it is street-legal.

    Brabus Bullit also features a modified 5-speed transmission, a LSD, full aerodynamic body kit, huge brakes and an adjustable rear suspension. The car also has an aluminum hood with ventilation slots and Brabus wheels fitted with high-performance tires.

    The interior boasts custom sports seats with carbon fiber covers and carbon fiber elements.

    The price for this pleasure is no less than €348 000.

    The conclusion is easy – Brabus Bullit rocks!

  • Brabus vs G-Power

    Brabus was founded back in 1977 and specializes in tuning for prestigious vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Maybach. The tuning company is famous with the performance upgrades offered for the most powerful Mercedes’ engines. Furthermore, Brabus offers entire aerodynamics packages for almost every available model as well as a number of interior modifications.

    G-Power was founded 6 years later than Brabus. The specialists from G-Power specializes in tuning BMW cars. The tuning company became very famous recently with their several world records like that one for fastest saloon car in production – M5 Hurricane RR.

    It is difficult to say, which tuning company is better, but one thing is for sure – both are just brutal. They fit extremely powerful engines to production cars, enormous rims with ultra-performance tires, huge brakes and proper suspensions. The exterior and interior customization is also at decent level.

    To make things more interesting, we can check G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RR and Brabus Rocket Mercedes-Benz CLS.

    Firstly, Brabus Rocket is powered by a  6.2 liter twin-turbo V12 with staggering 730PS (540kW) at 5100RPM and 1320Nm (970 lb-ft) at 2100RPM. Because of safety reasons for the gearbox, the torque is limited to “just” 1100Nm (810 lb-ft). The engine was modified from a 5.5L V12 engine block -M275.

    The performance is superb – 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds flat, to 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds and to 300 km/h in 29.5 seconds. The top speed is 365.7 km/h as this is a world record for fastest street-legal saloon.

    The price for this pleasure is 348 000 EURO.

    The opponent is G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RR having twin-supercharged 5.0 liter V10 with 800PS (588 kW) at 7500RPM and 800Nm (593 lb-ft) at 5000RPM.

    The hurricane is slightly slower to 100 km/h – 4.35 seconds, but a lot faster to 200 and 300 km/h – 9.5 seconds and 25.8 seconds, respectively. The top speed is 372 km/h, which is 6.3 km/h faster than the rocket.

    G-POWER Hurricane RR stands on 255/35 ZR 19 at the front and 305/30 ZR 19 at the rear high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

    Hurricane RR is priced at 251 100 EURO.

    So, Hurricane RR is the fastest street legal saloon on the planet … for now!
