G-Power lives up to its reputation as the tuner with the most impressive power upgrades. After breaking record with several M3, M5 or M6 models, the German tuner takes the limited and special BMW M3 GTS to a new level.
The hardcore coupe which was released last year and sold out in time record (only 150 units were ever built), is powered in its natural state by a 4.4 liter V8 engine that produces 450 horsepower. In standard configuration, BMW M3 GTS runs from standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 305 km/h. But some people wanted more power and G-Power presented earlier this year their plans to upgrade the M3 GTS.
In January, the company said it will give the M3 GTS over 600 horsepower, but they have managed to exceed the expectations. The first three G-Power M3 GTSs have arrived with 720 horsepower. The engine displacement of G-Power M3 GTS was increased by 10 percent and the company also developed a special version of the their SK II CS Sporty Drive supercharger system for the BMW M3 GTS. This supercharger system also includes a rebuilt engine with special low-compression forged pistons.
Top speed and acceleration times are unknown at the moment, but we expect the G-Power M3 GTS to run to 100 km/h in under 4 seconds. More details in the near future.
