(from G-Power Press
Release) M-Feeling for the BMW „Luxusliner“ – Thanks to the
G-POWER manufactory
After the large success of the two world record cars G-POWER M5
HURRICANE RS and G-POWER M6 HURRICANE CS which with their 750 hp
strong 5,0l V10 bi-compressor engine can be only obtained as a
complete vehicle via the G-POWER manufactory, the so-called “G-POWER
Supercars” will become an inherent part of the future G-POWER
programme. The G-POWER manufactory is a strongly growing business
branch of the company G-POWER in which all individually produced
complete vehicles, the so-called “G-POWER Supercars” are produced as
an inherent part of the G-POWER programme and are entirely made by
hand.
The company philosophy of the G-POWER manufactory which solely
produces its automobiles in limited edition, is 100% customer
dedication as far as the features and the strictly limited edition
of the G-POWER Supercars are concerned and also the entire revision
of the individual basic engines with the clear objective to produce
the strongest and fastest BMW model in the world.
The latest masterpiece and an impressive example for the exceptional
performance of the G-POWER manufactory is the G-POWER 760i STORM
which now closes a gap in the BMW programme: M-Feeling for the BMW “Luxusliner“.
G-POWER 760i STORM
Due to customer
preference, G-POWER, so far predominantly well known on modifying
the potent BMW M models, has now focused on the BMW flagship in the
luxury segment and developed an overall concept which optimally
adjusts aerodynamics, rims and increased engine performance.
The core part of the G-POWER performance enhancement for the 6,0l
V12 bi-turbo engine is a substantial modification of both
“TwinPower” turbo chargers used by BMW. In co-operation with the
compressor manufacturer ASA which can rely on 20 years experience in
developing and producing radial compressors (basically, radial
compressors are turbo charger compressor units which are put into
motion by the crankshaft via a belt driven transmission), the
performance of both turbo chargers was significantly improved
without affecting their endurance.
As a result, the maximum boost pressure of 0.5 bar (relative) rises
to 0.9 bar (relative). Flanking measures at the engine ensure that
the increasing boost pressure can also be transformed into according
extra power. Therefore, additional 181 hp (133 KW) are gained which
enhance the overall performance to strong 725 hp at 5,500 r.p.m and
render the maximum torque of 1000 Nm at already 2,000 r.p.m. In
order to achieve this impressive extra performance, larger injection
valves and an entirely new exhaust system for the reduction of
dynamic pressure including the therefore necessary sports catalysers
have been added, et al. A re-programmed engine control and
significant modifications at BMW´s serial 8-speed transmission
perfect the overall package harmoniously.
The enormous performance potential of the BMW V12 bi-turbo engine
modified by G-POWER allows the G-POWER 760i driving performances
which catapult it into the top range of its vehicle class. The
acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h only takes 4.2 seconds. After 11.9
seconds, already 200 km/h are achieved. The top speed is 345 km/h.
But not only due to its enormous performance, the G-POWER 760i STORM
propels to the top of its vehicle class, also the visual appearance
of the aerodynamics kit which was exclusively developed for the
STORM by G-POWER, underlines the exceptional quality of this G-POWER
Supercar. Thereby, the aerodynamics pack in the brand-typical design
is not only an end in itself, but it also improves the cold air
supply to the cooling water and oil coolers at the vehicle front due
to the enlarged air inlets at the front skirt and the vent holes in
the bonnet. Due to these changes, the overall cooling performance
has been increased by approx. 15 percent – a basis for the thermally
always harmless performance enhancement.
The most outstanding component of the G-POWER aerodynamics kit for
the BMW 760i, is the strikingly styled front skirt made of carbon
fibre which entire replaces the original part. It gives the serially
unobtrusive front of the current BMW 7-model the necessary
aggressiveness which an automobile with 725 hp and a top speed of
345 km/h requires. Due to the elaborate shape, the aerodynamic
lifting forces at the front axles were able to be reduced. Another
highlight is the G-POWER STORM bonnet made of Kevlar hybrid which
has a central Venturi engine compartment ventilation for the
operation and two lateral ABS grids for the ventilation when the car
stands still and guarantees an improved discharge of hot air from
both turbo chargers out of the engine compartment and shapes the new
face of the BMW 760i.
The G-POWER full carbon add-ons for the serial side skirts and the
doors render a visual harmonious connection between the wheel houses
by visually stretching the silhouette of the BMW 7-model. The wheel
houses themselves are filled with forged three-part G-POWER
SILVERSTONE RS aluminium wheels measuring 9.5x22 and 10.5x22 inches
which are equipped with high-performance tyres of the development
partner Michelin in the dimensions 265/30 ZR 22 at the front axle
and 295/25 ZR 22 at the rear axle. Set up this way, the G-POWER 760i
STORM always renders an optimal traction and a sporty handling which
is additionally improved by the G-POWER sports spring set and a
lowering by 30 mm.
At the rear, a full carbon rear spoiler and a full carbon diffuser
which elegantly emphasise the 4 x 100 mm end pipes with integrated
G-POWER logo generate more downforce at the rear axle and at the
same time visually enhance the back section.
G-POWER refines the interior of the BMW 760i with exclusive
accessories such as an ergonomically shaped sports steering wheel, a
speedometer in G-POWER design and fine carbon rails for the side
casing, central console and dashboard. Further customer wishes for
exclusive interiors can always be fulfilled by the G-POWER
manufactory with all possible leather- and ultra-suede colours.
The G-POWER 760i STORM is only available in a strictly limited small
edition of only 10 automobiles world-wide and is offered at an
overall price of € 365,000 (net) from the G-POWER manufactory in
Autenzell. The long version G-POWER 760iL STORM F02 can be obtained
at a surcharge of € 10,000.
