BMW M5 Hurricane by G-Power - 730hp!
With Audi’s RS6 pumping out 580hp thanks to its force-fed V10 engine, BMW is tipped to be testing a prototype of its M5 saloon with a pair of blowers attached, possibly for a midlife upgrade, to match its rival. Several tuning companies, however, have already proven that a turbocharged M engine can do wonders, and one such company is G-Power.
The German tuner has a twin-turbo version of the M5 with around 730hp on tap with just 0.5bar of boost pressure. That’s close to a 50% increase on the standard M5’s 507hp output, and the standard car is by no means slow.
At the recent Nardo high speed test, the Hurricane M5 reached a top speed of 322km/h but had to give up because of an electronic problem. According to developers, it can easily reach speeds of above 350km/h.
The engineers are already at work to build a version that can run 1.0bar of boost for an output above 800hp. G-Power is expected to reveal full details about the latest tuning pack at the end of the month.

I really like those G-POWER wheels in 21" on the M6. They look just a wee bit tall on the e60 chassis when its not SLAMMED.
Love the M5 / M6 engine though. The sound of these engines with mods are simply insane!

BMW, Audi, and Mercedes have lost there way IMHO when it comes to design (except for BWM M6, Audi S5, A3). This car is butt ugly! The color and the wheels are gorgeous, otherwise does nothing for me.
