G-Power is already famous for their impressive update packages for a number of BMW models, especially the M3, but they’ve just released their most spectacular M3 package yet: the Tornado RS. This new package transforms the standard M3 into the most powerful BMW M3 in the world, eclipsing the 635 HP M3 GTS G-Power worked on earlier this year.
The new BMW M3 Tornado RS delivers no less than 720 HP thanks to the addition of a SK III “Sporty Drive” Supercharger System. In addition to the supercharger, G-Power has also added a modified crankshaft which increases the V8’s displacement by 15% (from 4.0 to 4.6-liters), a carbon fiber airbox which is 4 kg (8.8 lbs) lighter than the standard one, and a tailor-made cooling system for the SK III Supercharger System that increases the capacity of the oil and water cooling circuits of the V8 engine to keep temperatures in check. The car will also be equipped with a titanium exhaust system with free-flowing 100 cpsi metallic catalytic converters. As a result, the Tornado RS delivers a total of 720 HP and a peak torque of 516 lb-ft. This allows the M3 to achieve a 0 to 60 mph sprint time of only 3.7 seconds, a sprint from 0 to 124 mph in 9.5 seconds, and a top speed of 205 mph.
The exterior was also given a once-over with a new aerodynamic program made entirely of carbon fiber. The package includes a carbon front spoiler for more downforce with optional brake cooling ducts for ventilation on the front axle, a trunk lid, and a 3-piece carbon rear spoiler to increase the downforce on the rear axle. The car now sits on a new set of weight-optimized 20-inch G-Power Silverstone Clubsport forged wheels.
Pricing for this kit starts off at 35,00 euro, or about $47,500 at the current exchange rates.
