The most powerful and exclusive 1 Series in the world, the G1 V8 Hurricane RS from G-Power was voted the best „Tuning Sports Car of the Year 2012“ by the Evocars' subscribers.
The monster created by the guys from G-Power has a "special" heart beating under the bonnet. Instead of the 3-liter turbo petrol engine, the 1M Coupe has, this guy has a 4-liter V8 "borrowed" from its bigger brother, the E90 M3.

Furthermore, the stock 420 HP of the M3 wasn't enough so a G-Power turbocharger was fitted taking the total output to 600 HP and 580 Nm of torque. The gearbox has also been upgraded in order to handle the new levels of power.

The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration is done in 4.4 seconds and the 0 to 200 km/h acceleration is done with in 12.7 seconds going all the way up to a top speed of 330 km/h.
