    The G-POWER G6 5.0 engine catapults this 6-series vehicle in M-format from G-POWER on the basis of the new BMW 645i into the highest performance dimension of its category. Generating 420 bhp / 308 kW and a maximum torque of 540 Nm, the modified luxury liner accelerates in just 4.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and has a top speed of 285 km/h.

    The G-POWER’s increase in engine capacity to 5.0 litres is achieved by means of the new hand-crafted crankshaft, a modified engine block, various bores and the use of forged pistons and costs € 33,000. Needless to say, the package also includes the modification of the engine control modules for perfect running characteristics. Additionally, the G-POWER stainless steel high-performance exhaust system featuring the backpressure-reduced G-POWER DAINLES® system is fitted in conjunction with metal catalytic converters and a stainless steel exhaust manifold. The newly developed system is available as either a four or twin-pipe version for all engines. The electronic 250 km/h restriction is programmed away online.

    G-POWER is setting a milestone in its 20-year history with the new HIGHLINE aerodynamic design line. This new product series has been designed by the G-POWER team in collaboration with automotive designers. During the design process, emphasis has been placed on enhancing the sporty line of the BMW vehicles without going over board. The aerodynamic components lend the BMW models a more sporty design, whilst retaining the same dimensions of the standard components.

    The elegant design has been confirmed by conducting a dynamometer test in the wind tunnel. By fitting the G-POWER aerodynamic package, it is possible to reduce the lift at high speeds on the front axle by approx. 20 kg and by approx. 23 kg on the rear axle depending on the equipment fitted. Specifically for the G-POWER supercharged engines, the fresh air inlet has been enlarged in the front section and a reduction in the engine oil temperature by 3 to 5 degrees has been achieved. For the boot lid, the vehicle designers have developed the new HIGHLINE spoiler lip, which goes to complete the overall visual appearance and harmoniously rounds off the new BMW design.

    The G-POWER G6 HIGHLINE aerodynamic package is available as a complete set for € 9600 and consists of a front bumper, carbon fibre inserts at the front, a set of side sills, a rear bumper, carbon fibre insert at the rear and a boot lid spoiler. The special thing about the G-POWER component production is that the aerodynamic components are not made from conventional glass fibre material but from carbon-Kevlar reinforced material.

    In conjunction with the new engine tuning package, G-POWER supplies the Styling IIIPRO alloy wheels specially developed for the G6, namely in the size 9.0 x 20 inch for the front axle and 10.5 x 20 inch for the rear axle. The 3-piece 15-spoke rims with a highly polished stainless steel outer well are produced from forged aircraft aluminium and are available in the sizes 20, 21 and 22 inch for all BMW models. In terms of the tyres, the size 245/30 ZR 20 has been selected for the front axle and size 295/25 ZR 20 for the rear axle. The complete set of wheels costs € 11800.

    Fast drivers must also be able to stop quickly. For the G6 from G-POWER, the tried-and-tested high-performance G-POWER S 85 braking system for € 8950 with a 385 mm diameter and six pistons has been fitted on the front axle. For the rear axle, G-POWER supplies the S 55 six-piston braking system also for the price of € 8950 with a 355 mm diameter.

    As regards the chassis, to produce a more comfortable ride, the suspension has been progressively lowered by 25 mm on the front axle and 20 mm on the rear axle.

    To refine the interior, G-POWER supplies exclusive accessories such as aluminium pedals with a sporty driver’s footrest, the sporty carbon fibre interior in a choice of black or white and the high-grade G-POWER Kjerba Walknappa leather trims. This high-quality, masterfully crafted G-POWER leather interior costs € 14600 and, at the customer’s request, is available in any colour combination.

    The price for the complete vehicle package is € 210,000.

    210,000 EUROS. Did these guys fall out of a tree. How could they ever justify that kind of money. There are so many Fantastic BMW tuners in Europe that do the same thing for much, much less. Looks like a hard sell to me.

    Yikes, 80 less horsepower than the M6 and more than twice the price.

    I'm guessing they'll make up the money in development off all the bits and pieces they sell...or at least they hope.

    Why not just buy and M6? It would be cheaper AND way faster?

    210,000 Euros!! Have these people completely lost perspective? You can get a 612 Scaglietti for that kind of money. I'd rather have the M6 and over a hundred grand in the bank.

    Reminds me of all of these Corvette tuners who sell $100k Corvettes only to be outdone by a bone stock $65k Z06.

    I don't think those wheels do the car any favors.

    IMo it makes the car look even more bloated than it already is.

    Wow, I have not heard about G-Power in like 5 years. Last thing I saw that they made was a Z3 with an engine swap (I'm thinking S62 swap). I don't like what they've made here. Looks a little too much like Alpina (wheels do that to it at least).

    Edit: The fog lights look like the 7 series headlights, hah.

    I was thinking the same - I'm not a fan of the new 6 series, but this one looks worse than usual.

    Also the side skirts look like they're trying too hard to make the car look racy. They look like add ons.

    i think it is a ridiculous hype that G-Power is desperately trying to make.

    Why not just an M6?

    further, all of the more reputable tuners (Alpina, Schnitzer, Hartge) produce very good tuning products for less price.

    even the good Henrik Fisker's coachbuilding business did not want that much ransom on a 6.

    and honestly, why dump that much money on a POS? no money can make it look pretty.

    This car will depreciate faster than any 12 cyl. front engine F-car ever made...probably worth less than a hundred grand as soon as you sign the paperwork and key the ignition switch. Who buys this thing?
