G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS with 625hp

G-POWER, the famous BMW tuning specialist, has introduced their latest creation - G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS. Earlier this year in March, G-POWER had already released the X5 G-POWER TYPHOON with 386kW (525hp). Obviously, the tuner was not satisfied with that result. Therefore, an upgraded version from the earlier model is here.

The G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS gets a re-engineered 4.8-litre V8 engine, which uses the latest G-Power SK III RS Superchager with a boost pressure of 1.0 bar. The core of the supercharger is the ASA supercharger system which is also used in the Alpina B5S, B6S and B7 models, as well as the B6 GT3 racer. Thanks to this equip, the output will be rated at 460kW (625hp) and a torque of 516 lb-ft (700Nm), a 70 HP increase over the most powerful X5 in BMW’s lineup.

This allows the G-POWER X5 Typhoon RS to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds) and 0 - 200km/h (124mph) in 16 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155 mph.

Other upgrades include a steel high-performance exhaust system, racing catalysts and rear mufflers, and a large-volume aluminium charge air cooling system at the front. X5 Typhoon RS is also fitted with Typhoon/G-Power specific accessories, such as a TYPHOON design speedometer, a sports steering wheel and aluminium bits.

Each X5 G-POWER TYPHOON RS can be ordered as a complete automobile or can be refined from an existing customer BMW X5 (E70). The price is not released yet, but it will surely carry a high price tag.
