BMW M3 with 720 HP

The latest generation BMW M3 is one of the most powerful production cars, but G-Power believes that the high-performance sedan deserves and can do more. That’s why they prepared three equipment packages that raise the engine power up to 720 hp.

The car is equipped with a new carbon kit that gives the BMW a more aggressive look. This includes a new front splitter, new side skirts, a Dynamic fixed rear wing, and many other components.

The M3 is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, which in the most powerful G3M ​​Bi-Turbo equipment package has 720 hp (529 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. All this was achieved thanks to new software, a new exhaust system, hardware improvements and an improved ECU unit. It is mounted on a set of 20 and 21 inch (Hurricane RR and Hurricane RS) rims wrapped in 285/30 R20 (front) and 295/25 R21 (rear) tires.

With the other two packages, G-Power offers power increases to 670 hp (493 kW) and 620 hp (456 kW), with the same hardware but a different ECU unit.

The interior of the base BMW M3 has been retained. There are reinforced carbon fiber seats and a 12.3-inch digital touch screen, as well as a steering wheel with buttons that allow the driver to switch to sporty driving mode.

Manhart TR 900 based on the Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS

After the Manhart TR 800, based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S, from the Wuppertal-based tuner workshop comes the TR 900. It is based on Porsche’s most powerful production car, the Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS.

TR 900 is powered by a 3.8 L twin-turbo flat-six engine with 945 hp (695 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power, compared to the base Porsche 911 GT2 RS, which has 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque, was achieved by combining an ECU remapping by Mapswitch with a turbo performance kit. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via an upgraded 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Performance data has not been revealed, but we expect nothing less than what the 911 (991) GT2 RS can do, 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

The car is painted in Midnight Dark Green with decorative stripes and lettering. It is equipped with carbon fiber add-on parts such as a front spoiler, side extensions, front frames for air intakes, side skirts and a diffuser with side extension plates. There are also TTH 1000 turbochargers, an intercooler kit from CSF, a larger front-mounted fan, a MANHART IPD aluminum manifold, and MANHART Downpipes Sport from Kline Innovation with 200-cell HJS catalysts.

Inside, the sports seats are upholstered in a combination of black leather and orange Alcantara with orange stitching, and the lower part of the dashboard is covered in black Alcantara. The door panels and steering wheel are covered in a combination of orange and black Alcantara, while the ceiling is covered in orange Alcantara. A safety roll cage is placed behind the seat.

When it comes to price, the Manhart TR 900 costs 550,000 EUR.

Mercedes-AMG G63 with Suicide doors

The German tuner Mansory once again made an effort to upgrade the Mercedes-AMG G63. This time for all G-Class models Mansory offers the “Suicide” doors that can be seen on Rolls-Royce models. Also, the tuner increased the engine power.

The car was premiered at last year’s opening of the Mansory showroom in Dubai. It is equipped with many carbon components such as a new front bumper, roof spoiler, front lip, hood, air intake housing. The job was not easy, because the door has to be redesigned so that it can be opened in a different direction. A lot of care was required because even the smallest details were taken care of, as well as precision. These changes make access to the rear seats even easier, and they are also practical. “Suicide” doors actually come from the era of horse-drawn carriages, and in addition to Rolls-Royce, we can also see them on Mazda RX-8, Opel Meriva, Toyota FJ Cruiser, BMW i3, as well as Fiat 500 3+1.

Inside, the front and rear seats are upholstered in black leather with gray stripes in the center and gray stitching. The same design can be seen on the floor mats, door panels and dashboard, while the steering wheel is covered in leather and carbon. There are also carbon inserts on the armrests, doors and dashboard, while the Mansory logo and lettering are on the door sills and seats.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 900 hp (662 kW) and 885 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque. A significant increase, if we consider that the base Mercedes-AMG G63 has 585 hp (430 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.

In the end, it can be said that the tuned Mercedes-AMG G63, with new doors and a carbon equipment kit, has an exclusive and extraordinary look.
