(from G-Power Press
Release) G-POWER delivers a M5 HURRICANE for the 100th
time – the Jubilee Model M5 HURRICANE RRs with 830 hp – the most
powerful version in the world
After the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR with twin-supercharger engine and
800 hp/588 kW has set a new High-Speed record with 372 km/h in 2010,
improving the old G-POWER record from 2008, the demand for this
power sedan with supercharged V10 engine just exploded. So, today
already the 100th G-POWER HURRICANE is leaving the G-POWER workshop
in Autenzell as a jubilee model with an additional 30 hp output
increase.
G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RRs
This light blue G-POWER
M5 HURRICANE RRs is equipped with a reworked version of the
high-revving V10 engine modified by G-POWER and supercharged by a
BI-Kompressor „Sporty Drive“ system. Therefore the two superchargers
named ASA T1-313 have been replaced by larger ASA T1-316 units. They
are both driven by a belt and do provide each cylinder bank with
supercharged air. Further down the line 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 response characteristics which give
the G-POWER motor its incomparable response and also much more
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. As
the standard connecting rods and piston pins were equally not up to
the considerably increased forces, here too, recourse was had to
special parts. The switch to an Alpha-N engine management system and
hence the elimination of the air mass sensors also contributes to
the increased power output of 830 hp / 610 kW, available between
7,500 and 8,000 rpm. The engine delivers its peak of torque of 780
Nm at 6,500 rpm.
Of course the periphery of the engine, especially the exhaust system
and the fuel supply system, needs to be modified as well in order to
match with the new requirements. A G-POWER SPEEDFLOW exhaust system
with two racing catalysts minimizes the exhaust backpressure and a
G-POWER stainless steel rear muffler with DEEPTONE technology and 4
x 83 mm tail pipes featuring the M-Design completes the exhaust
system of the M5 HURRICANE RRs. The capacity of the fuel supply
system is upgraded with fuel injectors with enlarged mass flow and
the use of an additional high performance fuel pump. An electronic
control unit designed by G-POWER enables the additional third fuel
pump to operated boost related. This set up guaranties and reliable
fuel supply under all conditions.
Prepared like this the G-POWER HURRICANE RRs does not only set new
performance standards for top speed. With an acceleration of just
4.3 seconds from standstill to 100 km/h, 9.1 seconds from standstill
to 200 km/h and 25,2 seconds from standstill to 300 km/h the two-ton
sedan is also leading his class.
Two tons of weight and a top speed of more than 370 km/h naturally
require extreme demands on the tires, being fitted on special
G-POWER wheels. Our technology partner Michelin provided
high-performance Pilot Sport tires in the dimensions 255/35 ZR 19 at
the front axle and 305/30 ZR 19 at the rear axle for this reason.
For every day use the G-POWER HURRICANE RRs runs on 20-inch
SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheels with the dimensions 255/35 ZR 20 and
285/30 ZR 20 front and rear.
Even more contributions to the HURRICANE RRs’s high-speed talents
are coming from a height-adjustable G-POWER RS coilover suspension
that is adjustable for both compression and rebound in nine settings
and the high-performance G-POWER brake system with up to six brake
pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle and
380 mm for the rear axle. The G-POWER brake system enables a
substantially higher brake force than the standard brake system. At
the same time, the heat generated due to the braking process can be
dissipated more effectively. The G-POWER brake package is completed
by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher friction rate as well
as metal-coated brake lines. With this set-up, the G-POWER Braking
System always provides maximum brake force and the braking point
remains precise in any case. Of course, G-POWER customers are
provided with the choice of rotor material: both steel brake discs
and ceramic alternatives (which are about 50% lighter for
significantly improved cornering and road handling) are available.
The cost for the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RRs components start with
1.861,00 € for the G-POWER coilover suspension GM5-RS. Followed by
4.673,00 € for the 20``G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheel set incl.
MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tyres in the dimension 255/35 ZR 20 and
285/30 ZR 20, and 6.466,00 € (Ceramic version 14.460,00 €) for the
G-POWER brake system for the front axle and 4.785,00 Euro (Ceramic
version 11.788,00 €) for the rear axle. The output increase with the
help of the G-POWER SK III RRs „SPORTY DRIVE“ supercharger system
for the BMW M5 E60 / E61 and M6 E63 / E64 is listed with 57.000,00 €
plus the installation in the G-POWER price list.
Since the company’s founding in 1983, it has focused solely on the
tuning of BMW cars and the production of exclusive, handcrafted
vehicles. In 2008, G-POWER was integrated into Group ASA, a year in
which both brands celebrated their 25th anniversary. G-POWER is now
one of the few globally active and highly reputable suppliers of
exclusive cars. In cooperation with development partner ASA, G-POWER
has developed unique versions of BMW’s most important models, and
the world's most powerful versions of each, which clearly sets us
apart from our competitors. G-POWER holds five world records:
- Fastest BMW sedan
with 730hp G-POWER M5 HURRICANE and a top speed of 360 km/h
- Fastest LPG-powered car with the 660hp G-POWER M5 HURRCANE GS
and a top speed of 333 km/h
- Fastest Sedan with the 750hp G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS on the
ATP high-speed oval in Papenburg with a measured top speed of
367.4 km/h. G-POWER exceeded its own record with the 800hp
G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RR with a top speed of 372 km/h
- Fastest 4-seater coupe with the 750 hp G-POWER M6 HURRCANE CS
and a top speed of 370 km/h
- Fastest SUV with the 750hp G-POWER M5 Touring HURRCANE RS and
a top speed of over 360 km/h (governed)
