G-Power Hurricane RS World Record

[B][SIZE="3"]High-Speed world record 228,4 mph - 367,4 km/h[/SIZE][/B]

After the record for the world’s fastest BMW sedan, G-POWER did it again and broke the long-standing record of the BRABUS Rocket for the fastest sedan in the world.

In November 2008 the 750 hp strong G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS realised a new top speed of 228,3 mph (367,4 km/h). This speed has been clocked and certified at the ATP High-Speed test track in Papenburg. With it the since October 2006 valid record of 365,7 km/h has been broken.

The G-POWER high-speed world record has been realised with a 20 hp stronger evolution of the famous G-POWER M5 HURRICANE which has been clocked with 360 km/h earlier in 2008 and holds the record for the fastest BMW sedan. The extra power of the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS is the result of two modified superchargers from G-POWER’s technology partner ASA, with enlarged capacity. In the following the boost level of the G-POWER BI-Kompressor system could be raised from 0,7 bar rel. to 0,8 bar rel.

But still the G-POWER BI-Kompressor system has not yet reached its limit. According to CEO and engineer Christian Stöber:” …we can rise the boost level up to 1,0 bar rel. and more” and CEO Zoran Zorneke is of the opinion:” we can still improve, if we see the need for it”

A Veyron at top speed can maintain that for 12 minutes before a full tank of fuel has been consumed. What about this car?

Do they even have the budget to try and maintain the speed for 12 minutes?

would maintaining that speed for 12 minutes void the warranty?

Very nice, but I bet those superchargers don't half whine a bit. Also, where will this battle for fastest saloon end? Bring on the next Brabus, I say.

Brabus should really extract more power from their engines imo. They use bigger engines with more cylinders and still produce less power than this.
