Thou-Power is back with another nutsy projection, merely this time with a flavor of "green". The European tuner combined their supercharger packages with LPG (natural-gas) instead of gasoline. Abreast the eco-friendly benefits, LPG is also known to cost about half per liter than gasoline and reduces CO2 by xv percentage.

Thanks to the SK II bi-supercharger system, the E60 M5 by G-Power reaches 660 hp and 650Nm of torque with a pinnacle speed of 200 mph (333 km/h). The G-Power M5 also sprints to 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 4.half dozen seconds.

More details in the press release beneath.

Press Release: G-Ability is known kickoff and foremost for spectacular supercars, enormous power hikes and earth speed records. What is less well-known, however, is the fact that environmental protection and resource conservation also savor a loftier priority in all G-Ability developments.

The power increases accomplished by 1000-POWER are non paid for by an exorbitant ascent in fuel consumption, just by maximization of the specific efficiency of the modified driveline. In its December 2008 outcome, High german magazine "Machine Bild sportscars" calculated an boilerplate fuel consumption of xviii.3 l/100 km for the M-POWER M6 HURRICANE equipped with a 635 hp bi-supercharger system. In the January 2009 issue, the serial product BMW M6 was constitute to accept a fuel consumption of 18.1 l/100 km. This equates to an added fuel consumption of effectually one% paired with a power increment of effectually 25%!

The whole package becomes even more environmentally friendly when the increased output is delivered courtesy of LPG instead of petrol. The conversion, however, is not that straightforward, even for series product high-revving engines. The fifty-fifty bigger challenge comes when the engine in question is also supercharged via two ASA radial compressors. Past lucky coincidence, G-POWER is not only a supercharging specialist, but also one that happens to accept item expertise with BMW V10 power units. It is non without reason that G-Power is the only company worldwide to offer an aftermarket supercharger system for the BMW V10 engine.

The result is the Yard-Power M5 HURRICANE GS equipped with ane fully sequential five-cylinder LPG system per cylinder banking concern. The benefits of LPG as a fuel are both economical and ecological in nature – not merely is LPG around 50% less expensive per litre than petrol, it also reduces CO2 emissions by around 15 percent.

That said, there tin be no sacrificing the hallmark G-Power performance increment. 660 hp and 650 Nm of torque are the figures achieved past the SK 2 bi-supercharger arrangement thank you to low-pressure forced induction with a relative charge pressure of 0.6 bar. Each cylinder bank of the 5.0l V10 power constitute is equipped with a chugalug-driven ASA T1-313 compressor. Compared with conventional mechanical superchargers, which consume a big proportion of the additional power generated to bulldoze themselves, ASA compressors accept an efficiency rating of up to 80 percentage. They thus form the ideal foundation for efficient forced induction, besides as increased output with an eye on resource conservation.

Downstream of the 2 ASA compressors, the pre-compressed charge air is brought downwards to operation enhancing temperatures by the twin-ringlet, water-cooled intercooler finished in 1000-POWER's feature orange. This sophisticated bandage aluminium component replaces the series production airbox above the engine, where its brusque airways facilitate the same spontaneous responsiveness every bit the serial production engine, albeit combined with a considerable do good in torque. The superiority of the Yard-POWER compressor system is particularly evident when information technology comes to low-cease torque, which is one weakness in the loftier-revving concept favoured by Yard GmbH. At long terminal, the 5.0l V10 offers impressive power commitment, of the kind that many customers might reasonably have expected from the series production version. Specifically developed mapping of the engine electronics and SMG transmission control ensure perfect interaction of all components.

08.09.2010, 02:48 hours, local time. A desolate strip of autobahn close to G-Ability headquarters in Autenzell. The terminal test on the G-Power development protocol is, as e'er, the adding of top speed. With a sonorous growl from the G-POWER SPEED-Flow exhaust, the Chiliad-Power M5 HURRICANE GS lets loose, just a few seconds afterwards reaching its tiptop speed of 333 km/h – a world tape for an LPG car. With this world speed record, 1000-POWER delivers an impressive sit-in that high performance and environmental compatibility don't take to exist mutually exclusive.

Of grade, it's not just in top speed that the G-Power HURRICANE GS achieves top marks. From a standing beginning, information technology sprints to 100 km/h in just iv.half-dozen seconds. The 2-tonne saloon passes the 200 km/h marker in a full of simply 11.4 seconds.

The immense forces that lie behind these figures are transmitted to the road via ix.0 ten 20-inch and 10.5 x 20-inch forged SILVERSTONE CLUBSPORT blend rims clad in 255/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20 MICHELIN tyres. Cheers to their race-proven product technology, the Chiliad-POWER wheels are no heavier than the series production wheels, despite their larger dimensions. The resulting reduction in unsprung masses ensures better acceleration and greater agility through corners.

Farther contributors to the high-speed capability of the HURRICANE GS are the One thousand-POWER high-operation braking system and the G-POWER RS coil-over sports suspension, with 9-mode adjustability for compression and rebound plus infinitely variable height adjustment.

The Thou-POWER SK 2 bi-supercharger system incl. conversion to LPG is also available for the current BMW M5 and M6.
