G-Power Launches Its Own Version of the 2016 BMW X6 M, with 650 HP

When it was launched, the 2016 F86 BMW X6 M became the most powerful production car the Germans ever made. It and its brother, the X5 M were gifted with a revised version of the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 found in the F10 M5 and F12/13/06 M6 that was good for 575 HP.

Now, you might say that it is the same number the competition package versions of the sedan and coupe models receive. The problem is, in production guise, they fall just ever so slightly short.

The facelift models take things even further, with the competition package raising the output to an eye-watering 600 HP but then again, the same thing applies in this case too. Oh, and the 30th anniversary M5 is a limited-production car as well.

Therefore, the X5 M and X6 M models are now the most powerful cars BMW has in production and, considering their size, it’s a well-deserved title. That wasn’t enough for G-Power though, that has gotten us used to outrageous numbers over the years.

That being said, they just took the veils off their latest creation and we’re glad to say it’s even more powerful. Coming from the guys that have been in the game for over 30 years and set no less than seven speed world records, that’s hardly a surprise.

The G-Power X6 M has 650 HP and 830 Nm (612 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal, an increase of 75 HP and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) of torque compared to the stock model.

This was achieved thanks to a Bi-Tronik 5 V1 ECU kit that also removed the top speed limit which is now supposed to be over 300 km/h (186 mph).

If you’re interested in adding this stuff to your car, you should know it costs €4,165 ($4,638 at the current exchange rates) without the top speed limiter removal. Chip that in for around €795 ($885) and the total rises to €4,960 ($5,524). Since the X6 M starts at just over €100,000, that shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no word about the new acceleration times coming in from G-Power just yet, but they should improve by around 0.1 seconds.
