G-POWER, the famous BMW tuning specialist, has introduced their latest creation - G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS. Earlier this year in March, G-POWER had already released the X5 G-POWER TYPHOON with 386kW (525hp). Obviously, the tuner was not satisfied with that result. Therefore, an upgraded version from the earlier model is here.
The G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS gets a re-engineered 4.8-litre V8 engine, which uses the latest G-Power SK III RS Superchager with a boost pressure of 1.0 bar. The core of the supercharger is the ASA supercharger system which is also used in the Alpina B5S, B6S and B7 models, as well as the B6 GT3 racer. Thanks to this equip, the output will be rated at 460kW (625hp) and a torque of 516 lb-ft (700Nm), a 70 HP increase over the most powerful X5 in BMW’s lineup.
This allows the G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and 0 - 200km/h (124mph) in 16 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155 mph.
Other upgrades include a steel high-performance exhaust system, racing catalysts and rear mufflers, and a large-volume aluminium charge air cooling system at the front. X5 Typhoon RS is also fitted with Typhoon/G-Power specific accessories, such as a TYPHOON design speedometer, a sports steering wheel and aluminium bits.
Each X5 G-POWER TYPHOON RS can be ordered as a complete automobile or can be refined from an existing customer BMW X5 (E70). The price is not released yet, but it will surely carry a high price tag.
The German tuner G-Power has created a new performance package for the BMW M3 E46, one of the best Ms built by BMW.
To achieve more power, G-Power used a high-tech supercharger from ASA Engineering, more specifically, the ASA TM I 20. This enables BMW's 3.2-liter straight -six to produce 450 hp and 450 Nm of torque (up from 343 hp/365 Nm). The extra 107 hp help the E46 M3 run from 0 to 124 mph(220 km/h) in only 14.7 seconds, which beats the 15.8 second posted by BMW's 420 hp V8-powered M3 E92.
To handle all that new power, the E46 M3 runs on 20-inch alloy wheels fitted to Michelin Pilot Sport tires, 245/30 ZR 20 at the front and 285/25 ZR 20 at the back. Then the M3 E46's top speed increases to more than 300 km/h (186 mph).
Other optional equipment includes a high performance stainless steel muffler and a continuously height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over suspension with nine selectable settings for bound and outbound.
The G-Power name has become synonymous with extreme BMWs, which is working at creating the world's fastest BMWs. Its G-Power M6 Hurricane CS based on the BMW M6 Coupe has a recorded top speed of 367.4km/h (228mph) --- making it the fastest BMW Coupe in the world.
Now G-Power has also unveiled a new performance upgrade for the M3 and they called it Tornado. Why this name? In fact, the new car fits in perfectly with that description.
While the standard M3 already has a fairly potent 420hp (312kW) under the hood, G-Power's engineers have taken the car into true supercar territory with a new supercharger system that raises the final power output to a heady 500hp (373kW). Using relatively soft charging of just 4.4psi (0.3bar) boost from the T1-518 ASA centrifugal supercharger (the same system used in certain Alpina models), G-Power claims that its M3 constantly provides around 20% more torque than the standard model.
The sueprcharger system also uses a large volume air box, including eight lightweight integral resonance induction pipes, which are responsible for improved throttle response and creating an optimal torque curve. Finally, the supercharger system is completed by the large air-to-air intercooler that is located up front and cools the boost temperature down for added performance and reliability.
The result of the new performance system gives the G-Power M3 a top speed in excess of 200mph, while the sprint to 124mph is dispensed within just 13.5 seconds - more than two seconds quicker than the stock M3.
Custom wheels and Michelin sport tires help put the power down onto the road, along with a new continuously height-adjustable G-Power coil-over suspension system with nine settings to help the BMW more effectively use that extra power. Additionally, G-Power offers a new sports rear muffler to give the M3 a deeper roar, and also lighten the car's final weight by close to 15kg.
Capping off the upgrades is a new interior, decked out in carbon-fiber panels, a custom G-Power speedo that goes up to 223mph, aluminum pedals and tailor made leather seats.
Incidentally, The G-Power BMW M3 Tornado has been thoroughly tested in the hot temperatures of the United Arab Emirates for performance and reliability.
G-POWER was founded in 1983 and concentrates exclusively on the tuning of BMW automobiles. The company celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2008. Today it is among the most reputable brands in the global tuning market. G-POWER sets itself apart from the competition with the most powerful important BMW engines developed in-house. 
Now, the G-Power name has become synonymous with extreme BMWs and the company’s latest Hurricane CS based on the M6 Coupe fits in perfectly with that description. After G-Power’s own M5-based Hurricane RS broke the world record for the fastest sedan with a top speed of 367.4km/h (228mph), the German tuner decided to shoehorn the same record-breaking powerplant into BMW’s M6 Coupe. The end result is the all-new G-Power M6 Hurricane CS.
Powered by a twin-supercharged version of the legendary high-rev BMW M V10, the Hurricane CS develops up to 750hp (522kW) and 590lb-ft (800Nm) of torque and has a recorded top speed of 367.4km/h (228mph) – making it the fastest BMW Coupe in the world. To reach this level of performance, engineers needed to install the company’s belt-driven ASA T1-316 superchargers, each providing charge air for one cylinder bank and able to increase the volume of charge air by up to 25%. However, at this level, the engine would theoretically be developing up to 900hp (671kW).
The inner workings of the ten-cylinder four-valve engine are also optimized with forged pistons from Mahle that reduce compression. They have been precisely matched for weight and are much stronger than their production counterparts. The production piston rods and pins also had to make way for special components that can handle the much higher forces.
Further characteristics of the car are the multipart widebody kit, high performance carbon-ceramic brakes, fully adjustable suspension kit and last but not least oversized 21in wheels wrapped with Michelin rubber.
While most of the parts used on the Hurricane CS are available individually, G-Power also sells the package as a complete car starting at €360,000.
