A couple of months
ago, G-Power presented their take on the new BMW M5, and more recently, they
have subjected it to the dyno test.
The official numbers
to look for in their Stage 3 upgrade are 800 PS and 980 Nm of torque. This allows the Bavarian super-sedan to hit 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 335 km/h.
With this output,
the latest BMW M5 won’t shy from a straight-line fight with most modern
supercars. But everything comes at a cost and owners of the M5 will pay nearly
€ 22,500 for these upgrades, which include modified turbochargers,
titanium exhaust system complete with carbon fiber tailpipes and an ECU-tune,
among others. Also, the increased V-max costs € 773.50. All prices are
for the German market and don’t include installation.
There are some
lesser offerings from G-Power for the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that
powers the new BMW M5. Stage 2, for instance, comes with 750 PS and 920 Nm of torque, and Stage 1, has 700 PS and 840 Nm of torque. As for the stock model, it benefits from 600
PS and 750 Nm of torque.
G-Power’s bundle of
upgrades includes the Venture RR hood, front splitter, rear diffuser and
spoiler, new wheels and other parts, joined by a series of accessories such as
the special stickers and logos.
