It was not too long ago that G-Power introduced its first take on the BMW 1 M Coupé with a 429hp (435PS) performance tune . Now, the famed BMW tuning brand is taking it a few steps further with its new G1 V8 HURRICANE RS model.
While the G-Power 1 M Coupé made use of the original model's 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six, the G1 HURRICANE RS borrows the 4.0-liter V8 engine from the M3 E92 Coupe.
In fact, G-Power installed the entire powertrain from the M3 including the DCT double-clutch transmission gearbox and stainless steel exhaust system, and while it was at it, also made use of the M3's front and rear axles!
The compact sized G1 V8 HURRICANE RS goes from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.4 seconds and to 200km/h (124mph) in 12.7 seconds) en route to a top speed of 330km/h (205mph), making it the fastest 1-Series model in the world, according to G-Power.
By comparison, the 429hp G-Power 1 M Coupé completes the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 4.5 seconds and tops out at 300km/h (186mph).
The tune continues with a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels mounted on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in the dimensions of 255/30 ZR 20 at the front axle and 295/25 ZR 20 at the rear axle, a more power powerful braking system with 396 mm Ceramic-Carbon discs and a KW suspension kit.
G-Power's visual enhancements on the outside are limited to the new wheels, a lightweight carbon fiber hood with a power dome and vent openings, plus a carbon fiber boot that incorporates a CSL style spoiler lip.
Inside, G-Power has upholstered most of the interior including the re-shaped sport seats and steering wheel in two-tone leather and Alcantara surfaces.
As a complete vehicle as viewed here, the G1 V8 HURRICANE RS costs €141,176.80 (about US$182,900).
