G-Power X5 M Typhoon (890 Nm @ 1500 rpm)

Most cashed-up, and relatively sane motoring enthusiasts, would be ecstatic with a BMW X5 M with a stock 408 kW and 680 Nm in the garage, but German tuning house G-Power, are clearly not part of that group.

They weren’t even happy with a 447 kW version, no sir, the head honchos over at G-Power thought that the autobahn travellers would rather have 533 kW (725 PS) and a stomping 890 Nm. I guess that should enable the family wagon to keep up with a GT3.

Did I mention that the full 890 Nm torque output is available from just 1500 rpm, and top speed is over 300km/h. What about 0-100km/h in 4.2 seconds?

Naturally, the torque is electronically limited, but G-Power has tweaked the standard X5 M transmission to handle up to 1000 Nm.

Along with the power boost will set you back 18,000 euro, the new wide body Typhoon Aero package starts at 12,185 euro.

If you’re a frequent autobahn cruiser and the job is going well, I suppose it’s good value for the extra grunt.

Beast. Love it.
