BMW X6 "M6XR Twin Turbo" by Manhart Racing

BMW M6XR by Manhart Racing

German Turner - Manhart Racing has released a new M6XR Twin Turbo package for the BMW X6M. M6XR Twin Turbo by Manhart Racing is powered by the standard 4.4 liter V8 twin turbo engine that has been upgraded to 687 hp.

To get this amazing performance, the German tuner had to overhaul the engine’s electronics , including the DME control, and had a catalytic conversion including alterations to sit in the converter. The result is a sprint from 0-60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 198 kilometers per hour. And if this is not enough for the typical fan, the tuner also has plans for a new version that will develop over 700 horsepower announced.

Manhart can't be bothered with body kits and flashing lights. However, they did give the Manhart BMW X6M M6XR an in-house developed sports chassis that lowers the center of gravity by 30 mm. They also gave it 395 mm brake discs and six-piston calipers at the front, and 375 mm brake discs with four-piston calipers at the rear.

Manhart Press Release:

Manhart Racing M6XR Twin Turbo

Bold statement: 687 hp and 319 km/h!

Doubtless, it takes some degree of nerve to approach a vehicle of the calibre of an X6 M. The über-SUV is powered with a V8 twin turbo engine as standard, which develops a fat 555 hp and 680 Nm of torque at a maximum charging pressure of 1.5 bar. And when liberated from its burdensome electronic speed limiter, the X6 has the capability to run up to a speed of 275 km/h.

Impressive performance specifications - equivalent to those of a supercar.

Doping for the V8 twin turbo!

Günther Manhart, of course, is not impressed by those numbers; he has been something akin to an inofficial pope at BMW motors for many years. Thanks to his many years of experience with the Bavarian engine constructors, the X6 M V8 twin turbo engine proved no exception to his ability to quickly find efficient ways of increasing the performance of an engine. Thanks to an overhaul of the engine electronics, including DME control, and a catalytic conversion including modifications to the converters, the power of the 4.4 litre V8 is increased to 687 hp, which at a tare weight of 2380 kg amounts to a power to weight ratio of 3.4 kg per hp. With that, the Manhart M6XR sprints to 100 km/h from a standing start in just 4.7 seconds, and achieves an unbelievable top speed of 319 km/h. A version with more than 700 hp is planned within a short time which, equipped with new exhaust manifolds, will break the 900 Nm barrier.

Something that is also conducive to the power of the car, of course, is the new stainless steel exhaust system, with four 90 mm tailpipes and two 200-cell HJS racing catalytic converters. Four Manhart RS sports rims ensure optimum contact with the bitumen, all at 11J x 23 in size and fitted with 315/25 ZR23 tyres. With the sports chassis, developed and manufactured by Manhart, the centre of gravity of the X6 M is approx. 30 mm lower, which is of particular benefit to handling in tight corners. Optimum deceleration of the 2.4-tonne sports SUV is ensured by a high-end braking system with 395 mm discs and six-piston calipers at the front, and 375 mm discs with four-piston calipers at the rear.

There is the option of a full-leather interior with Alcantara roof and door linings, to go with the characteristically clinical interior of the X6 M, as well as numerous Klavierlack double-coat clear finish trimmings.

G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 - Fastest Four-door Sedan in the World

G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5

G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 of the fastest four-door sedan in the world, The G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 engine tuner SK III bi-compressor, that a massive 750 hp / 551 kW, which developed over minutes at 800 hp 7500-8000 rpm and 800 Nm at 5,000 rpm develops updated equipped min .

The tuner said that the G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 can teleport 0-100 km / h in 4.35 seconds at 200 mph in 9.5 seconds to 300 km / h in 25.8 seconds. The G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 is added to the V10 engine, two ASA T1-316 compressors that can improve the performance of a theoretical 900 hp.

TheG-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 also includes a new aerodynamic package, the front wing and rear skirt, side skirts and a rear spoiler. The interior of the G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5 contains many improvements, including a 400 mph speedometer, style carbon accents, a sport steering wheel and leather upholstery.

G-Power Press Release:
Following up on the G-POWER M5 HURRICANE RS powered by a G-POWER twin-supercharger engine with 750 hp/551 kW, which has set the record for the ‘world’s fastest sedan’ at 367,4 km/h in early 2010, G-POWER did it again. But this time with 372 km/h! With this target in mind, the development for the new evolutionary HURRICANE RR with 800 hp began. A few weeks ago, the air is tight with tension when the G-POWER engineers give their “go” for the M5 HURRICANE RR to manage the ultimate test:


High Speed. It takes only a few minutes to change the standard 20 inch G-POWER forged wheels to 19 inch ones. The wheels, especially fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires that Michelin are certified for top speeds of more than 370 km/h. The HURRICANE RR is ready to go, the test track as well. Apart from the swop of the wheels the HURRICANE RR is completely standard and relies predominantly on its power of the bi-supercharger engine. And just a few laps later it is done.


The analysis of the engineers states a top speed of 372,1 km/h. World record! Once again to achieve this extreme performance, the twin supercharger system of the high-revving V10 has been redesigned. The two superchargers named ASA T1-313 have been replaced by larger ASA T1-316 units. They are both driven by a belt and do provide each cylinder bank with supercharged air. This means more space for the supercharged air by up to 25 percent. The air volume being transported by these modified superchargers is able to generate a theoretical power output of more than 900 hp.


The pre-compressed air from the superchargers is cooled for a maximum power output. A complicated aluminium casting - painted in G-POWER orange - replaces the standard air box on top of the engine, and its direct inlet is responsible for the spontaneous response characteristics which give the G-POWER motor its incomparable response and also much more torque.


The inner workings of the 10-cylinder, four-valve engine are optimised by light, precisely balanced MAHLE high-performance forged pistons with lower compression and increased mechanical strength. As the standard connecting rods and piston pins were equally not up to the considerably increased forces, here too, recourse was had to special parts. An optimized mapping of the engine electronics also contributes to the increased power output of 800 hp / 588 kW, available between 7,500 and 8,000 rpm. The engine delivers its peak of torque of 800 Nm at 5,000 rpm.


But the G-POWER HURRICANE RR does not only set new performance standards for top speed. With an acceleration of just 4.35 seconds from nought to 100 km/h, 9.5 seconds up to 200 km/h and 25,8 seconds up to 300 km/h the two-ton sedan is also leading his class. The G-POWER technology is available for all current M5 and M6 models. The G-POWER SK III bi-supercharger engine conversion with 750 hp / 551 kW starts at 56,000 Euros (net).


In addition to the most powerful BMW engine ever being fitted to a street-legal BMW M5 a new aerodynamic for maximum efficiency was key. The HURRICANE RR is equipped with the G-POWER “HIGHLINE” body kit. In addition to provide the necessary downforce the body kit is also designed to provide significant more air flow to cool the engine. The body kit consists of front and rear skirts and spoilers, doors render and the rear spoiler.


Two tons of weight and a top speed of 372.1 km/h naturally require extreme demands on the tires, being fitted on special G-POWER forged wheels. Our technology partner Michelin provided high-performance Pilot Sport tires in the dimensions 255/35 ZR 19 at the front axle and 305/30 ZR 19 at the rear axle for this reason. For every day use the G-POWER HURRICANE RR runs on 20-inch Silverstone CLUBSPORT wheels with the dimensions 245/35 ZR 20 and 285/30 ZR 20 front and rear.


Even more contributions to the HURRICANE RR’s high-speed talents are coming from a G-POWER high-performance brake system and the height-adjustable G-POWER RS coilover suspension that is adjustable for both compression and rebound in nine settings.


The interior of the record car features a tachometer reading up to 400 km/h, clear-coated carbon-fiber panels for the dashboard, center console and door panels. An ergonomically shaped G-POWER sports steering wheel with especially perforated Kjerba Nappa leather is completing this package. The G-POWER HURRICANE RR can be ordered as a complete car, only. Any current M5 model – sedan or station wagon – can also be equipped with the individual G-POWER components of the world record holder.
