ARESING, Germany — G-Power, the BMW tuning house, is offering a pair of street-legal M3 Clubsport models through its recently organized Motorsport Division.
Unveiled earlier this month at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, the G-Power M3 GT2 S is the initial offering from the division as its answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A slightly more “civilian” version is badged as the M3 Tornado CS.
G-Power’s potent SK II CS supercharger kit is installed on both models, providing 592 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (a six-speed manual is also available), with exhaust exiting through a titanium system, the engine propels the M3 GT2 S from zero to 60 mph in less than 4.1 seconds, with the M3 Tornado CS only marginally slower, at just under 4.3 seconds. Top speed is 205 mph.
The G-Power mods include a Clubsport adjustable coil-over suspension kit with beefier front and rear stabilizers. Both models get 20-inch forged alloy rims. The M3 GT2 S is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires (245/30R20 front and 315/25R20 rear), while the M3 Tornado CS gets Michelin Pilot Sports rubber (255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR20 rear).
A G-Power aero kit bundles carbon-fiber front and rear skirts, spoilers, fenders and rear diffuser. The cockpit sports carbon-fiber racing buckets (the rear bench is removed to save weight) and a leather trim package.
Inside Line says: You can order the full-boat M3 GT2 S for only $170,000. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
