By: Openclutch Staff 0 Comments

The boys at G-Power really are "The Guys" when it comes to BMW's. There claiming to have use the BMW M5 to achieve the World's Fastest Sedan record. Excitin?? Yes it is!!! "The G-Power Hurricane RR manages a top speed of 372 km/h (231 mph), roughly the same top speed as the McLaren F1."

At the moment the car beats the tuner's previous record, set by the M5 Hurricane RS. Which used a a 750-hp twin-supercharged V10 engine with a top speed of 228 mph.

If you think the previous model was impressive, check out this......the new model gets a 6.67-percent boost in power! First off its cranking out 800 (588 kW) and 590 lb-ft of torque. Want to know the times? 0-62 mph in 4.35 seconds, and to 124 mph in 9.5 seconds. With a top speed of 186 mph, it sprints there in 25.8 seconds, on its way to its record-setting top speed.

"Larger superchargers were used with the engine to achieve 25-percent more space for the air volume. Instead of the 20-inch wheels that were initially installed on the €252,100 car, engineers decided to use 19-inch wheels for the speed run. The wheels were wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Tires."

"Sadly for G-Power, it appears that this record could be short lived. The Bugatti 16C Galibier is on the way, with the same 8.0-liter 16-cylinder engine as the Veyron, but using superchargers instead of turbochargers. The Galibier should hit the market as a 2013 model year sedan."
