2012 G-Power BMW M5 Hurricane RRs Review


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 Therefore the two superchargers named ASA T1-313 have been replaced by larger ASA T1-316 units.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.

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.
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.
