history

G-Power M5 Hurricane RR

The story of G-POWER began in 1971 in Neu-Isenburg near Frankfurt with the Grommisch family with the refinement of BMW brand vehicles . In 1973 the company took over the distribution of the Alpina agency in the Rhine / Main area.

From 1983 the focus was on the core business, BMW tuning . Milestones from this time are the introduction of the DTM style for rear silencers and the development of the so-called wedge-shaped chassis in cooperation with the cooperation partner Koni . In 1986 G-Power started its own production of accessory products for various BMW models. The participation in a British manufacturer of exhaust systems made it possible to produce sport rear silencers with the Deeptone Technology developed in- house .

In 1995, Zoran Zorneke took over the business operations and the trademark rights to G-POWER. In 1997, the company headquarters was relocated to the new company premises with a large new building including a Maha performance test bench in Brunsbüttel . Shortly afterwards, G-POWER presented the first of a series of compressor systems that were developed on the M-GmbH S54 3.0l sports engine. The Evo supercharger system for the BMW M3 E36 enabled an increase in output from 210 kW (286 hp) to 294 kW (400 hp).

In 2005, G-POWER expanded the company to include its own manufacturing facility for carbon aerodynamic components. In the same year, this part of the company brought the self-developed aerodynamics program for the BMW series 3, 5, 6, 7 and the Z8 as well as the also self-developed light alloy wheel Silverstone Diamond to market maturity.

In 2007 G-POWER presented the 404 kW (550 PS) G-Power G3 CSL V10 Coupé. The BMW M3 E46 Coupé with an integrated V10 engine from the BMW M5 E60 was only available as a complete vehicle.

G-POWER has been in Bavaria since the beginning of 2007. The first project that was realized after the move was the bi-compressor system for the BMW V10 engine from the BMW M5 E60 and BMW M6 E63. Using two radial compressors and a boost pressure of approx. 0.8 bar rel. an increase in output from 370 kW (507 PS) to up to 588 kW (800 PS) was achieved in the G-POWER M6 Hurricane RR. With a top speed of 372 km / h, this vehicle holds the world record for the fastest sedan in the world.

In 2012 the G1 V8 Hurricane RS based on the 1er M Coupe with V8 engine and supercharger system was presented. With an engine output of 441 kW (600 hp), the vehicle reaches a top speed of 330 km / h. In addition to the engine, additional changes were made to the chassis, brakes and aerodynamics. This model was only offered as a fully manufactured vehicle.

In 2014, the G4M Bi-TURBO based on the BMW M4 F82 with a six-cylinder in-line engine 3.0 l displacement, which with 500 kW (680 PS) reaches a top speed of 330 km / h, was presented. This increase in performance is made possible by a combination of hardware and software upgrades. The development and introduction of the upgrades for the turbo engines was largely led by Zoran Zorneke. In addition to an individual engine software adaptation, the kit relies on turbocharger modifications. The standard compressor wheels of the turbochargers are exchanged for significantly larger ones. In addition, the flow conditions are optimized and stainless steel downpipes and a titanium exhaust system with four carbon tailpipes are installed.

In the meantime, in addition to the BMW models, the company also worked on the refinement of various AMG models. This includes the C 63 AMG W205 with 588 kW (800 hp). The AMG GT R or the E 63 AMG W213 with 588 kW (800 hp) and 1,000 Nm were also presented in this performance segment. These services are also made possible by in-house developed combinations of hardware and software upgrades, in particular turbocharger upgrades with optimized turbine wheels and CNC-milled housings. There are also new stainless steel downpipes, a stainless steel exhaust system and coordination with the company's own software.

In 2018 the X6M TYPHOON with 551 kW (750 PS) and widebody kit was presented. Similar to the G4M Bi-TURBO, a combination of hardware and software upgrades made the increase in performance possible. In 2019, the company presented another model in the M series. With 588 kW (800 PS) and 1000 Nm, the top speed is more than 345 km / h. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.9 seconds.
