Hurri’ up
We do, from time to time, give a bit of a kicking to horrendous, misguided Teutonic tuning jobs. Like that Cayenne of Death. But sometimes, sometimes, a modified car turns up that makes us think, ‘Hey, you know, just maybe...'
Like this M6 Hurricane (what is it with the Germans and wind-based names?) by tuning house G-Power. It looks good, and it goes like effluvium off a particularly sturdy spade-like device.
How does 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds, 124mph in less than 10 seconds and a top speed of 228mph grab you? Quite roughly, we suspect.
That makes the Hurricane the fastest BMW coupe in the world, all thanks to the M6's 5.0-litre V10 - equipped with a shiny new pair of belt-driven superchargers - putting out a massive 750bhp and 590lb ft of torque, some 50 per cent more than the stock M6.
G-Power says this is a fairly conservative state of tune, and that the wick could easily be turned up to a full 900bhp. Yowch.
Naturally, the Hurricane gets a fat body kit, adjustable suspension and impressive 21-inch wheels. Are we quietly losing the plot, or is the Hurricane actually quite cool? Thoughts please...
Now watch the telly boys take an M6, an Aston V8 Vantage and a Porsche 911 to the Isle of Man:

Put it in a darker, very metallic blue and it would look cool. Also, have you seen the tyres? They're not tyres, they're huge steam roller wheels!

German tuning firm in "It looks OK actually" shock!!! That rear spoiler might sort out the issues with the back of that car although GPower just sounds a bit too gangsta.

Hmm. An interesting technical exercise, for sure. I quite like the look of it, but I'd make sure all the carbon-fibre trim was body-coloured. Otherwise, yeah, not bad for a tuner.

The performance figures are much preferable to the pictures (note picture two - I see you use Macs). To be honest, bodykitting a 6-Series is like polishing a turd - it still looks like shit. At least this turd goes like, er, stink.

First I thought it looked quite good. Then I realized it's because the stock M6 looks so terrible. Still, not a bad effort.

Tires are cool indeed, not so much the twin tail pipes. Pretty numbers, though it has almost 300 bhp more than a GT-R and a full second slower from 0 - 60? Either the GT-R is wonderful or this is a heavy car. I wonder how it handles, specially with 900 bhp, Brabus SL anyone?

I LOVE IT, ME WANT NOW!! I love BMW & Mercedes, but BMW was always behind on the power side compared to Mercedes. Now that BMW's models are at the point for a redesign, they are starting to put more powerful engines in that can actually compete with Merc. However BMW could never understand how to give their beloved M6 this much power. Thank god for tuning companies. Where do I trade-in my CL65 and who do I make the check out to? To note, that blue color is hidious, need a nice metallic grey, silver, of a metallic black. I say a metallic black with a mocha-jave like interior thing going on with aluminium trims and accents. Maybe a few extra chrome touches on the exterior.

I thought they had put on a nice subtle body kit, until I clicked on more images, then I had to hise behind the sofa, I mean come on, crap spoiler and side vents!? However those numbers are quite nice, anything that can produce anything near 900hp will always get a thumbs up from me. No mention on price however...

M3 is way cooler, more economic than a Pryus and you can have it as a sedan. M6 engine is naturally aspirated, so is the M3. Chop in a twin turbo in an M3, see what happens.

Pristineauto24, I'd love to disagree, but I can't really read your comment. All I can work out is that you know of American cars that go quickly in a straight line. You typed all that (whilst being utterly smashed I imagine), when you could've just typed three letters: DUH.

It's quite a heavy brute this one. But actually a quiet nice one apart from this ridiculous paint and the center exhausts.

I think the stats are wicked but it looks terrible from any angle accept the front. Is it just me, or does anyone else a Audi TT/Audi R8 resemblance?

Why all the hate for the looks of the BMW 6 series? I actually quite like the 6 series at least more than I like the 5 series, and I like this but give me back the quad tailpipes and the 900bhp version and in Dark Green yum!!

I haven't seen a BMW M6 like this before but I like it! Especially the rear end and the side, but somehow I don't like the front of the car.

I like the power but not what they have done with it visually i think they should have made it understated and just done wat they needed to not made the car look like something westwood would do

Estate version of Insignia VXR makes more sense than the hatch. Quick and practical, but is it just too thirsty?

I shudder to think of what could be. And the only people who like BMWs are people who have never been in one. I'm British and as such I would always love the looks of the Aston Martin, but the power and poise of a BMW is quite hot. And 900 bhp..........WOW!!!!
