BMW X5 G-Power Typhoon - 625hp Monster SAV
 

Another marvel from power-crazy tuning house G-Power - we present the X5 G-Power Typhoon. It almost seems as if G-Power is picking up where AMG left off in it’s quest for massive horsepower figures on a car meant for luxury cruising. Even BMW itself has stepped up it’s game on power figures with the latest X5M which churns out 555hp.
Only this past March did the German tuning firm release the first G-power Typhoon with 525hp, but since BMW introduced the X5M that boasts 30 more horses, G-Power went back to the drawing board and came up with this monstrous SUV, sorry, SAV. Not to be outdone, the X5 G-Power Typhoon now boasts a phenomenal 625hp and a max torque of 700Nm from a completely re-engineered 4.8-liter V8.

The massive figures are the result of a force-fed engine that utilises G-Power’s SK III RS supercharger with the boosting pressure at 1.0-bar. At the very 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.

The supercharger system helps the X5 go from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds, 0-200km/h in 16 seconds and on to a eventual top speed of 285km/h. Gears are selected using a 6-speed automatic transmission
while BMW’s xDrive AWD system helps with grip.

Oh goodness! It turns out that the new black is white :rolleyes:

Funf Dresig

Hmmm..I'll take mine in black, minus the LED's, maybe even the wheels. I like it...Can only dream of testing a back to back comparison with the X5 ///M :D

SICK!!!:wow:

Hmmmm, seems that GM owns the Typhoon name....

YouTube - GMC Typhoon : 1200hp Turbo V6 Drag Race Wheelie :boogie:

posted almost at the same time haha , wow .

For an AWD truck/pickup in '91 that was officially rated at 280 hp and 360 ft·lb tq, and did 0-60 in 5.3 secs, I wouldn't call them POS's. 5.3 is Ferrari 348, Vette and 350z turbo neighborhood.

I wanted one back in '91, but $30k was out of my reach, I was only 3 years out of college.

I knew they were fast, but they had a ton of problems. That's what I was getting at. One of my friends back then had a National and a Syclone. He had so many issues with those engines and the rear end couldn't handle all of that power. I remember he had to replace the rear end twice in the year+ he owned it.

Sorry, back to the BMW...it's awesome! :wow:

Amazing!!!! I am speechless...:thumbup:

That looks like a BEAST.:wow: I like it . Ill take 1 in Vermillon Red;)

Would love to hear the sound that this thing makes and see it in action on the road

Wow...that what I call an Ultimate Driving Machine...it would be great to have one of that monsters SAV parking in the your garage, don't you think.

Wondering if they cracked the block open, or if it was untouched.

edit: nevermind... Mahle forged pistons.

Looks like a Storm Trooper from the front especially in white....I want one!
