    500 Horsepower BMW M3 Coupe from G-Power

    The German tuner G-Power returns with a new super-tuned up version of the popular BMW M3 Coupe. Marketed under the Tornado name, the G-Power M3 Coupe is a beast. The regular 4.0 liter V8 420 horsepower was turned into a 500 horsepower and 354 lb-ft engine, thanks to a new intercooler and performance exhaust system.

    The G-Power BMW M3 Coupe when operated through a 6-speed gearbox, can accelerate from 0 to 124 mph in only 13.5 seconds, at least 2 seconds faster than the “regular” M3. The M3 Tornado can reach a top speed of 199 mph.


    G-Power M3 Tornado runs on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport tires, 55/30 ZR20 in front, 295/25 ZR20 in the rear, mounted on lightweight 20-inch Silverstone alloy wheels. To reduce the weight while increasing the overall performance, a new four-pipe exhaust pipes package is offered, either made out of stainless steel or titanium which is 32 lbs lighter than the original part.

    The new G-Power kit is mostly an engine performance upgrade, but the German tuner also included some new interior elements: carbon-fiber trim, new speedometer and new set of aluminum pedals.

    No pricing has been announced yet for this performance kit.

              PS is an equivalent to the HP, both in different units systems. The difference is like 7% if I remember correctly...

              and is it only me who thinks the G-Power rims are among the ugliest in the industry?! If I wanted cheap-steel-look rims I'd run to Shj tyre shops for a set!

                    more like 1.5%..

                    1 bhp (imperial hp) ≈ 1.015 PS (metric hp)
                    http://bmwclubuae.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11

                    for example:
                    the E46 M3 is rated at 343PS which is 338bhp :)
                    the E60 M5 is rated at 507PS which is 500bhp :)

                    must be running on very low boost to maintain the engine & give a warranty etc.. i agree the numbers are not dramatic :)

                      80HP for all that kit ? AND an intercooler ?!
                      What a waste...how much is what determines though ?

                      The rims are ok, even the OEM M6 wheels look like sharjah wheels.
