German tuner G-Power has a new wide-body kit for the BMW X6 M. The power-tuning, wheels and suspension package is the same as on the previous G-Power X6 M Typhoon S. New here is the wide-body kit made from PU RIM that features new front spoiler and skirt, flared wheel arches, side skirts with LED lights, rear skirt, rear diffuser, two spoilers fixed to the rear hatch, a roof spoiler and a multi-piece rear spoiler with carbon wing. The body kit adds about 15 percent more cooling to the X6 M and also includes the G-Power Venturi hood featuring hood-vents with dynamic venting. Wheel are the 23-inch Silverstone RS alloy rims with Michelin performance tires, same as on the previous X6 M Typhoon S, as is the 30 mm suspension lowering. To reiterate G-Power's output boosting - the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 gets a remapped ECU, a stainless steel sport exhaust system, new exhaust manifolds and new connection pipes between the turbochargers and the cylinder heads that raise power to 725 PS (533 kW / 715 hp) and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 170 PS (125 kW / 168 hp) and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft) over the standard model. The 0-100 km/h sprint takes place in 4.2 seconds and top speed is in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph).
