Some BMW enthusiasts weren’t thrilled by the fact
that the Bavarian automaker dropped the naturally aspirated V8 engine from the
old M3 and replaced it with a turbocharged inline-six in the latest model.
As a result, they didn’t wave goodbye to their
E92-gen M3s, and it's them who are being targeted by G-Power's latest tuning
effort, the GT2 S Hurricane.
First and foremost, the 4.0-liter V8 was completely
disassembled and most of its internals were replaced, which resulted in a
displacement of 4.5 liters and a total output of 720 PS and 650 Nm of torque.
Compared to the stock variant, this represents a
300 PS and 250 Nm of torque increase, which propels the M3
from rest to 200 km/h in just 9.8 seconds and allows it to top out at
330 km/h.
Signaling the presence of a potent mill under the
hood is a special carbon fiber wide body kit, highlighted by the wide wheel
arches that are filled with 19-inch wheels, wrapped in 295/30 front and 325/30
rear tires, large air intakes and a huge rear wing, providing increased
downforce and better cooling.
Other upgrades include the ceramic brake discs with
six- and four-pot calipers front and rear respectively, coilover suspension,
integrated fire extinguishing system and some tweaks to the cabin, where the
sports seats, dashboard, and roof headlining are trimmed in Alcantara.
Replacing the factory speedometer and rev meter is a digital multifunction
display, while the driver is fed with relevant information concerning the
engine through a supplementary display.
