This is the second in a series of blog posts portraying those companies which make the most exciting cars in the world … even more exciting. Over the next few weeks, we will be presenting car customizers from all over the world, country by country, segment by segment – from sports cars, to SUVs, pickup trucks and refurbished vintage cars. We will kick off our series with a handful of customizers from Germany, most of which focus on enhancing local car brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Porsche. Enjoy the ride!
World Record Holder from Bavaria
G-POWER was founded in 1983 and headquartered in the pittoresque, 2,700 inhabitants municipality in Bavaria. The southeastern German state Bavaria is famous for its beautiful, manicured landscapes, perfectly renovated historic homes, delicious food & beer and attracts millions of tourists from all over the world each year, it also hosts high class events such as the recent G7 summit.
Hence, the contrast couldn’t be bigger: G-POWER specializes in BMW high-end performance tuning/customizing, and the boutique firm is well known for its innovative solutions such as the wedge suspension which allows to lower the ride height independently for the front and rear axle. In addition to that, G-POWER holds several world records, amongst them for the fastest limousine in production, the supercharged 5.0L V10 800 hp BMW M5 Hurricane RR.
G-POWER G6M V10 Hurricane CS
One of the latest creation of G-POWER is a custom built supercar for a client in United Arab Emirates. The seed of the idea for this project was the customer’s desire to own the ultimate sportscar, based around BMW’s high-revving V10 and its Formula 1 evocation. Consequentially, the G6M V10 Hurricane CS features a 1,001 hp and 900 Nm torque. The performance figures are stunning to say the least: a top speed of 370 km/h, and a breathtaking acceleration 0-100 km/h in 4.3 sec, 0-200 km/h in 9.0 sec and 0-300 km/h in 21.5 sec.
G-POWER modified virtually all core areas of the base car BMW M6 E63 including bodywork, engine, chassis and interior. The performance enhancements include a custom bi-twin supercharger, a titanium exhaust system with Race-Cats and coilover suspension with G-POWER Nürburgring Setup suspension, named after the world famous German motorsports complex. A ceramic brake system with 400 mm diameter brake discs, 21” forged alloy wheels and a full carbon-fibre wide body sets the G-POWER G6M V10 Hurricane CS far apart from the series BMW M6.
As customers are becoming increasingly demanding, the G-POWER G6M V10 Hurricane CS comes with a ground up modified, handcrafted interior. Almost all surfaces are covered in high-quality leather or Alcantara, featuring a decorative stitching as well as an esthetic carbon imprint. A special highlight is the G-POWER plaque integrated into the roof LED light bar. This bears the name of the owner, and testifies that this vehicle truly is One-of One.
G-POWER G6X V8 Typhoon
Good news for all SUV aficionados: G-POWER also offers customized versions of the X5 and X6 BMWs. The X6 derivative G-POWER G6X V8 Typhoon is powered by a modified 725 hp engine with a top speed of 300 km/h, a custom body kit and beautifully handcrafted interior details.
