The world's fastest BMW coupe? 230 mph G-Power M6 Hurricane CS![]() G-Power M6 Hurricane CS - Click above for a high-res image gallery
The G-Power crew is constantly striving to produce the most insane BMWs on the planet, combining forced induction with thoroughly revised suspensions and aerodynamics to attain completely unreasonable speeds. It's latest creation, the M6 Hurricane CS, takes the standard set by its M5-based Hurricane RS, and straps a duo of superchargers onto the 5.0-liter V10, boosting the coupe's output to 740 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Combined with a remapped ECU and a titanium exhaust, along with carbon fiber seats and a few other tweaks to reduce the curb weight by around 100 pounds, the CS can run to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, to 124 mph in 9.6 seconds, 187 in 26 seconds and on to a claimed top speed of 230 mph – making it the fastest road-going BMW coupe on Earth. In addition to the twin superchargers and bespoke body-kit, G-Power fitted the CS with carbon ceramic brakes at all four corners, with the front discs measuring in at 380mm and clamped by six-piston calipers. A coil-over suspension with nine adjustable settings joins front and rear anti-roll bars, and for a scant 390,000 euros, it can be yours. All the details can be found in the press release below the fold. |

IMO it looks cheap and has no class. Who on earth would buy that at that price when you look at the other cars available.

I actually quite like it. I think it would look great in a darker colour.

Heh heh! comments mostly but I've seen worse kits for an M6 (Hartge comes ot mind off the top of my head, just awful!). I guess one needs to be a fan of the 6 series design to begin with :) Edited by Yevgeny - 12 May 2009 at 2:39pm |
