(from G-Power Press
Release) High-Speed world record 228,4 mph - 367,4 km/h
After the record for the world’s fastest BMW sedan, G-POWER did it
again and broke the long-standing record of the BRABUS Rocket for
the fastest sedan in the world.
In November 2008 the 750 hp strong G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS realised
a new top speed of 228,3 mph (367,4 km/h). This speed has been
clocked and certified at the ATP High-Speed test track in Papenburg.
With it the since October 2006 valid record of 365,7 km/h has been
broken.
The G-POWER high-speed world record has been realised with a 20 hp
stronger evolution of the famous G-POWER M5 HURRICANE which has been
clocked with 360 km/h earlier in 2008 and holds the record for the
fastest BMW sedan. The extra power of the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS is
the result of two modified superchargers from G-POWER’s technology
partner ASA, with enlarged capacity. In the following the boost
level of the G-POWER BI-Kompressor system could be raised from 0,7
bar rel. to 0,8 bar rel.
But still the G-POWER BI-Kompressor system has not yet reached its
limit. According to CEO and engineer Christian Stöber:” …we can rise
the boost level up to 1,0 bar rel. and more” and CEO Zoran Zorneke
is of the opinion:” we can still improve, if we see the need for it”
