G-Power has unveiled the fastest road legal BMW M3. The M3 Tornado RS now is equipped with SK III “Sporty Drive” supercharger system and the results are really mind blowing.
G-Power BMW M3 Tornado RS produces 720PS (529 kW) at 8100RPM, which is exactly 300PS more than the original E92 M3. The torque is 700Nm (519 lb-ft), which is also 300Nm increase over stock.
The performance as you may suggest is brutal – 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and to 200 km/h in just 9.5 seconds. The top speed is somewhere over 330 km/h (205mph+).
All this is achieved thanks to a new crankshaft increasing the displacement of SK III-equipped M3s by 15%, from 4.0 to 4.6 litres. The powerful ASA T1-723 supercharger makes just 0.5 bar pressure. There is also an optional carbon fiber airbox weighing just 4 kg.
Finally, the specialists from G-Power fitted the tuned M3 with a titanium exhaust system featuring free-flowing 100 cpsi metallic catalytic converters.
The price for this pleasure is € 35 000 including installation.
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.

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.
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!
G-Power has released another staggering car with BMW badge. This time the platform is the latest E92 M3 in GTS variant. This is a stripped version of the regular E92 M3 with a little bigger engine. However, the naturally aspirated hi-revving V8 has a huge potential, so G-Power added SK II “Sporty Drive” supercharger kit.
The result is simply brutal – 635PS (467 kW) and 630Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque, instead of the factory’s 450 PS (331 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft).
The performance date is staggering, too. 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.2 seconds, to 200 km/h in 11.9 seconds and a top speed of 323 km/h – a little over 200 miles per hour.

The price for the pleasure is €23 500 including installation.
