G-Power unleashes a BMW M8 with a copious amount of power and currently, the tuner is doing the same with this flashy M5. It’s known as the hurricane RS and wears an orange metallic body wrap priced at €3,800 (about $4,200), however not on that carbon fiber hood (€5,236 / $5,750) with a middle bulge flanked by vertical vents.
The super sedan rides on 21-inch forged wheels with Michelin tires on the market as a full set for €9,545 ($10,500), and swaps out the stock exhaust system for a titanium setup with quad 100-mm tips bathed in carbon fiber. as with the other upgrades, the custom exhaust tailored to the M5 on tuner steroids isn’t specifically low-cost, with G-Power asking a hefty €8,449 ($9,300).
By far the most important modification the four-door supercar has had is beneath the hood where the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 has been massaged to deliver an astounding 829 H.P. and 1,050 Newton-meters (774 pound-feet) of torque. It currently needs a Bugatti Veyron-matching two and a half seconds to finish the sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) and can still accelerate until striking 217 mph (350 km/h).
The massive power gain of over 200 HP compared to a stock M5 Competition was obtained through a custom pair of turbochargers (€5,990 / $6,575), the aforesaid exhaust, together with a variety of alternative hardware and software package tweaks. interestingly, G-Power mentions the car’s spectacular top speed is really electronically ruled to protect the tires and mentions 217 mph is “probably an extended way short of what the hurricane RS is capable of” without the limiter.
Rumor has it BMW itself is going to be giving the M5 additional power by introducing a hotter cesium special edition with a brand new twin-turbo V8 codenamed “S68” aforementioned to deliver more than the 617 HP offered by the M5 Competition. If the report is correct, the M5 cesium can probably be based on the facelifted 5 Series / M5 we’ve noticed several times already.
The beast has both the acceleration and the top speed to race other track cars on market at the moment and nonetheless break some records with all that power but that is a thing we will see in the future as the tuners won’t race any of the models, so unless one of the lucky future owners of these won’t they won’t break any records.
