  • 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!

  • G-POWER M6 Hurricane RR – 800PS and 800Nm

    After the debut of the mighty M5 Hurricane RR, it is time for G-Power to release M6 Hurricane RR.

    Their latest project is powered by a twin-supercharged 5.0 liter V10 boosted to whopping 800PS ( 588 kW) and 800 Nm ( 590 lb-ft) of torque. This turns M6 Hurricane RR into the world’s fastest four-seat coupe.

    The acceleration is close to a jet fighter’s one – 0 to 100 km/h in 4.35 seconds, which is kind of “slow”, because of traction problems, but 0 to 200 km/h is in 9.5 seconds and the 300 km/h mark comes in 24.9 seconds. The car weighs a bit under 2 tons. (more…)
