G-Power Annouces Twin Supercharged M6 Hurricane Convertible
Posted by Admin on June 15, 2008
Tuner company G-Power is no stranger to BMW’s. Having success with tuning the BMW M5’s, by twin-supercharging the V10, G-Power was able to produce nearly 50% more power than the stock M5, and giving it a top speed of 211 mph. Stats which G-Power claims to be faster than any other street legal Bimmer.
Since the BMW M6 packs the same 5.0-liter V10, it was only a matter of time before BMW buyers could look forward to receiving the same treatment… Well wait no more! Introducing the G-Power M6 Hurricane! While the twin blowers are set for lower boost, only 6 psi compared to the M5’s 10 psi, the M6 still produces an impressive 635 bhp @ 7300 rpm and 469 lb-ft torque @ 6300 rpm. Making the G-Power Hurricane good for a 4.5 second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of nearly 200 mph.
Of course, with those figures, one can’t forget appearance matter. G-Power also provides a new front and rear fascia, rocker panels, and carbon fiber rear diffuser along with 21-inch wheels that make room for a 15-inch brake system up front. Since the BMW M6 has been out for a while already, current M6 owners can drop off their car at G-Power’s German headquarters besides just ordering a fully assembled car starting for a mere 183,000 Euros.
Full details can be found in the press release after the jump.
