GPower Germany is looking to provide the ultimate HTML3 for track and road use. However, rather than using the most recent generation, the aftermarket company uses the E92-generation for the foundation of its road-legal corner carver, which it calls the M3 GT2S Hurricane.
The M3’s standard V8 engine has been overhauled by the company. The most significant change is the addition of a long-stroke crankshaft, which increases the displacement from the original 4.0 liters. Forging is also used for connecting rods and pistons. G-Power adds a supercharger to the engine that produces 11.6 psi (8.8 bar). This makes it more robust. All of this work yielded 709 horsepower (529 Kilowatts) & 479 pound-feet (649 Nm). A limited-slip differential with an oil cooler ensures that all this power gets to the road.
G-Power claims that the M3’s supercharged, higher displacement engine can reach speeds of 124 mph (200 km/h) in 9.8 seconds, and a maximum speed of 205mph (330 km/h).
G-Power uses coilovers that have the company’s Nurburgring Setup to tune the ride height and dampers. When it comes to the twisty sections, ceramic brake discs slow this M3 down.
G-Power’s M3 isn’t trying to hide its performance capabilities. The 19-inch wheels are covered by a carbon-fiber widebody kit in an eye-catching orange. The company also replaces doors and hoods with carbon-fiber ones. Air jacks are used to quickly lift the car onto the track for quick tire swapping.
The company takes down the cabin to its essentials and even tosses the rear seat. Everything that is left is covered in Alcantara. The instrument panel houses a simple multi-function display that replaces the standard gauges. A roll cage provides safety for track occupants. In the event of an emergency, there is a fire suppression system.
