See Here for the article: http://star-motoring.com/blog/permalink.asp?id=1407How fast do you wanna go? Just ask G-POWER that question and you probably get this answer: As fast as I can.Those tuner guys have just better their own record, creating the world's fastest sedan that could hit 372kph.Earlier this year, they achieved 367.4kph in their M5 Hurricane RS powered by a G-POWER twin-supercharger engine with 750hp.
This time, they set a new record with an engine whose output was raised to 800hp in an evolutionary vehicle they called the Hurricane RR.The superchargers are both driven by a belt and provide each cylinder bank with supercharged air. This means more space for the supercharged air by up to 25%. The air volume being transported by these modified superchargers is able to generate a theoretical power output of more than 900hp.The pre-compressed air from the superchargers is cooled for a maximum power output. A complicated aluminium casting - painted in G-POWER orange - replaces the standard air box on top of the engine, and its direct inlet is responsible for the spontaneous feedback which give the G-POWER motor its incomparable response and greater torque.The inner workings of the 10-cylinder, four-valve engine are optimised by light, precisely balanced MAHLE high-performance forged pistons with lower compression and increased mechanical strength. Specially machined connecting rods and piston pins were required to endure the higher forces. An optimised mapping of the engine electronics also contributes to the increased power output of 800 hp / 588 kW, available between 7,500rpm and 8,000rpm. The engine delivers its peak of torque of 800Nm at 5,000rpm.But the G-POWER Hurricane RR does not only set new performance standards for top speed. With an acceleration of just 4.35 seconds from nought to 100kph, 9.5 seconds up to 200kph and 25.8 seconds up to 300kph, the two-tonne sedan is also leading in its class.The G-POWER technology is available for all current M5 and M6 models. In Europe, the G-POWER SK III bi-supercharger engine conversion with 750hp starts at 56,000 euros.In addition to the most powerful BMW engine ever being fitted to a street-legal M5, G-Power also has its own bodykit comprising front and rear skirts and spoilers, doors render and the rear spoiler.Apart from providing the necessary downforce, the Highline body kit is also designed to provide greater air flow to cool the engine.The monstrous speed and power, of course, require high performance brakes. G-POWER uses Michelin Pilot Sport tyres that are rated for speeds exceeding 370kph. Front tyres are 255/35 ZR 19 while the rear are 305/30 ZR 19.
The X6 Typhoon RS V10
For every day use the G-POWER Hurricane RR runs on 20-inch Silverstone CLUBSPORT wheels with the dimensions 245/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20 front and rear.The interior of the record car is fitted with a tachometer that reads up to 400kph. The dashboard, centre console and door panels are covered in clear-coated carbon-fibre panels. An ergonomically shaped G-POWER sports steering wheel with especially perforated Kjerba Nappa leather completes the package.The Hurricane RR can only be ordered as a completely built-up unit. Any current M5 model – sedan or station wagon – can also be equipped with the individual G-POWER components of the world record holder.Meanwhile, if your regular X6M still isn't enough power, then G-POWER has the X6 Typhoon RS V10, the world's fastest SUV that has 900hp of shove to a top speed of 330kph. "The intention behind the X6 Typhoon RS V10 is, besides the aim of building the world's fastest SUV, to create a vehicle to do homage to M GmbH's fascinating V10 power unit", according to G-POWER's managing directors Christian Stöber and Zoran Zorneke.The G-POWER bi-compressor system (taken from the Hurricane RR world-record vehicle) was developed one stage further and at the same time the cubic capacity of the BMW V10 power unit was increased from 5.0 to 5.5 litresThat translates to one heck of a sprint to 100kph in 3.9 seconds. It's guaranteed to be rare and exclusive as only five units will be made worldwide.G-POWER is based in the sleepy Bavarian town of Autenzell near Munich. Its website lists a Malaysian dealership called Imola Group of Companies located in Selangor.
