G Power has been lavishing obscene power and dubious names onto already rather-fast BMWs for 30 years. But even so, the specs of their creations can still take some swallowing. This is new G Power Typhoon, which in a previous life was a BMW X5 M developing 567bhp. Not any more, it isn"t.Thanks to larger twin turbochargers, a titanium exhaust and a remap for the 4.4-litre V8, G Power now claims a power output of some 740bhp beneath its trademark orange engine shroud. Torque has risen from the standard car"s 553lb ft to 723lb ft, and arrives at the road via new 23in rims wearing 315mm tyres. Which ought to make it quick enough to stop passers by grimacing at the bodykit G Power"s applied.
