G-Power BMW X5 Typhoon
Under the hood, G-power modifies the 4.8-liter V8 engine's mapping software, installs new high flow fuel injectors, and adds a belt driven ASA T1-521 hd supercharger which boosts the engine's output from 355 hp and 475 Nm to 525 hp (386 kW) and 600 Nm of torque. The company also outfits the Typhoon with a two-piece carbon-fiber intake manifold, an aluminum intercooler, and a stainless steel G-Power high-performance exhaust with racing catalysts. Thanks to all these changes, the Typhoon sprints from 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and has a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph).
