The M5’s 5.0 liter V10 engine has been fitted with a pair of ASA T1-316 superchargers (one for each cylinder bank), a twin-scroll, water-cooled intercooler, Mahle high-performance forged pistons, new con-rods and piston pins, as well as other mods. The result is simply stunning: 750 hp (between 7,500 and 8,00 rpm) and 750 Nm of torque (at 5,000 rpm).
This allows the near-two-tonne station wagon to deal with the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 4.5 seconds. The vehicle needs 9.7 seconds to complete the 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) sprint and 26 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 184 mph (300 km/h). As for the top speed, this is electronically limited to 223 mph (360 km/h), which makes the vehicle the fastest estate in the world.
Of course, such a high output requires a multitude of other tech mods and G Power was more than happy to install these: a nine-way adjustable coilover suspension, a beefier braking system that uses 396 mm rotors & six-pot grabbers for the front axle and 380 mm rotors & four-pot grabbers for the rear axle. An optional ceramic brake set is also available. The vehicle rides on 20-inch G Power Silverstone Diamond rims that use Michelin Pilot Sport tires (255/35 and 285/30).
The tuning party goes on in the interior, where G Power installed a leather & Alcantara finish with diamond stitching that covers most surfaces.
