Save some unforeseen circumstance we've yet to encounter, you'll never hear us turn down shoving extra horsepower at a vehicle. The minds at G-Power (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/g-power) seem to understand that concept better than most and have just finished pumping a full 600 horsepower into the BMW 1 Series M Coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1+series+m/). The team is calling their newest creation the G1 Hurricane RS, and the car makes use of a supercharged version of the same V8 that powers the BMW M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw). Likewise, the tuner's engineers plucked the dual-clutch gearbox from the larger M for service in the G1 Hurricane.
With 427 pound feet of torque on hand, the smallest of the G-Power line can bolt to 125 miles per hour in around 12.7 seconds on its way to a top end of 205 mph. The company threw in a set of carbon ceramic brakes to help bring the wicked 1 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/1 series) down from speed, which also helped reduce unsprung weight by half. Further weight reductions come in the form of a carbon fiber (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/carbonfiber/) hood and trunk lid. G-Power plans to build just 30 examples of its wild little 1 Series M Coupe, so if you want one, you better get on the phone now.
