G-Power Hurricane RS World Record

[Ferrer]

High-Speed world record 228,4 mph - 367,4 km/h

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?

[aiasib]

would maintaining that speed for 12 minutes void the warranty?

Matte looks like sex on this car..

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.

I imagine it tries to travel that fast to escape the speed of Ugly.
