FANCY A 710BHP BMW M3 CS? G-POWER HAS JUST SUCH A THING
There is an argument to be made that the world’s best super saloons are now actually evolving into hyper saloons, particularly with tuners like G-Power giving the G80 M3 CS around 80bhp more than the Lamborghini Huracan STO.
Wait, what? Yep, now dubbed the ‘G3M CS Bi-Turbo’, the 3.0-litre six-cylinder power plant has been upped from 542 to 710bhp, while the torque now sits well above the 620lb ft mark. Ludicrous for a four-door family car, no?
The power boost has been achieved with several big mechanical changes, including a dialled-up exhaust system and upgraded catalytic converters, while the ECU has also been fiddled with.
G-Power hasn’t yet stated just how much time has been shaved off the original 3.2s run to 62mph, but the signs point toward a sub-three-second time at the very least. The standard top speed of 180mph should also see a notable jump, given that another of the German tuner's G80 M3 packages bumps it up to, *clears throat*, 205mph.
And just so the world knows that this isn’t yer average M3 CS, there’s a full suite of new wings and inlets for proof. We’d also suspect the suspension’s been dropped a few millimetres, while the unpainted carbon bonnet adds further pantomime to what is supposed to be a fairly serious car.
No word on pricing or conversion numbers just yet, but what say you to a 700bhp+ M3?
