(from G-Power Press
Release) The G-POWER aerodynamic program „RS“ – efficient,
distinctive, elegant – enables the up to 720 hp strong G-POWER M3s
to achieve their performance potential on the road and at the same
time provides for a weight reduction
Sometimes less is even more. For example in regards of a car’s
weight. Because less weight improves the performance of the BMW M3
and so provides more driving pleasure. With the G-POWER aerodynamic
program “RS”, which is completely fabricated from Carbon fibre, one
can make the BMW M3 lighter and therefore faster. At the same time
the G-POWER “RS” Carbon parts increases the aerodynamic downforce
and thus provides for even faster cornering speeds.
G-POWER aerodynamic program "RS" for BMW M3
G-POWER’s roots have
their origin in motorsports. Already in the early eighties G-POWER
tuned BMW 02 models were competing for top position in their
category. Today G-POWER is still active in motorsports and competing
in series like the Spezial-Tourenwagen-Trophy (STT) and the DMV
Touring Car Championship (DMV TCC).
The G-POWER aerodynamic program „RS“ has been designed based on the
knowledge gained from G-POWER’s motorsports activities. The product
launch has been preceded by extensive CAD engineering and intensive
test driving on road and track.
In the result G-POWER has created an aerodynamic package for the BMW
M3 that contains a front spoiler, bonnet, boot lid and a rear wing.
The G-POWER aerodynamic program „RS“ is manufactured from supremely
light and highly strong Carbon fibre in a gas-proof autoclave. This
method of manufacturing meets the OEM standards of the automobile
industry and ensures perfect fitting just like a flawless surface
structure. In doing so it has been possible to achieve a weight
reduction of approx. 2,6 kg for the bonnet and approx. 8,1 kg for
the boot lid.
The G-POWER aerodynamic program "RS", made completely of Carbon
fibre, not only reduces the vehicle weight, but also increases the
aerodynamic downforce. To be specific, the Carbon front spoiler
generates more downforce on the front axle, while the Carbon fibre
boot lid incl. tear-off edge increases the downforce on the rear
axle. Additional downforce for the rear axle can be generated by a
3-piece and 4-times adjustable Carbon rear wing that can be altered
for racing or street purpose. Optionally the G-POWER Carbon boot lit
can be fitted with the factory rear wing from the BMW M3 GTS.
The G-POWER aerodynamic program “RS” is rounded off with a special
bonnet, which of course cannot increase the downforce, but still is
not without function. The starting point for the development of the
G-POWER VENTURI bonnet was the technical necessity to remove heat
from the engine compartment of the uprated engines as quickly as
possible. Otherwise a loss of performance can happen, since the ECU
(electronic control unite) makes use of diagrams with reduced
degrees of ignition when a fixed temperature limit is reached, in
order to safeguard the engine. The "DYNAMIC VENTING" Technology of
the G-POWER VENTURI hood vents the engine compartment dynamically,
allowing the otherwise untapped performance potential to be achieved
with no additional thermal stress. Performance enhancement cannot be
supported more efficiently.
And in terms of output enhancement G-POWER can offer a broad variety
of supercharger systems for the BMW M3. Next to the newly introduced
TU supercharger systems with the performance levels SK I “Sporty
Drive” TU with 520 hp, SK II “Sporty Drive” TU with 580 hp and the
SK II CS “Sporty Drive” TU version with 610 hp, the 720 hp strong
G-POWER SK III “Sporty Drive” supercharger system marks the output
maximum. This configuration level of the G-POWER supercharger system
features an ASA T1-723 supercharger and a displacement enhancement
from 4.0l to 4.6l and thus achieves a massive output enhancement of
300 hp based on the standard output of the BMW M3 of already 420 hp.
The G-POWER aerodynamic program „RS“ for the BMW M3 costs in detail:
EUR 1,800.00 (net) for the G-POWER “RS” front spoiler, EUR 3,600.00
(net) for the G-POWER “VENTURI” bonnet, EUR 3,300.00 (net) for the
G-POWER “RS” boot lid and EUR 1,850.00 (net) for the G-POWER “RS”
rear wing. Entry into the world of G-POWER supercharger systems
starts at EUR 11,500.00 (net) for the installation-ready SK I
“Sporty Drive” TU supercharger system and ends with the SK III
“Sporty Drive” supercharger system incl. displacement enhancement
with EUR 41,650.00 (net) . All prices are exclude installation.
