Pulling high-performance car manufacturers is considered a success where German engineering reigns supreme. It maybe that BMW has outdone itself with the G15 generation of the M8 Competition, but G-Power, masters of the game, have infused their magic and dynamism into the G8M HURRICANE RR. This being so, in this article, I will take you through some of the complexities and improvements of this exquisite car and describe my feelings as well.

Second of all, the G-Power G8M HURRICANE RR is simply an upgraded BMW M8 Competition featuring an incredible power output of 900 horsepower and 1050Nm of torque. Instead, the standard M8 Competition generates a comparatively larger 617 horsepower and 750Nm of torque, which should be enough for most motorists. For the real thrill-seekers though, this monster with 900 horsepower should do the trick nicely.

To ensure it delivers this performance, G-Power decided to use a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 as found in the M850i. However, good people over at G-Power didn’t stop at that and optimized the already powerful V8 through additional turbochargers, intercoolers, and a new exhaust system. Such changes not only tune the power output to the peak but also give the most desired growling sound out of the exhaust that will make even any passerby drop their knees.

The G-Power G8M HURRICANE RR is equipped with a custom set of G-Power 21-inch lightweight forged alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The wheels are enough to spark such an interest, but the ride quality and handling unveil the real essence of this car. The suspension is very well sorted for comfort and ride, with exceptional agility and grip. I had the privilege of taking the HURRICANE RR out for a spin on some spirited drives, and I sure can say that this car offers a lot of responsiveness and is very maneuverable.

As far as aesthetics are concerned, G-Power has not been shy with design inputs as well. This Hurricane RR comes with a stunning carbon package composed of the carbon fiber front spoiler lip, rear diffuser, side skirts, and mirror caps. Many of these components are also lightweight, which not only helps to make the car look attractive but also improves its performance. In addition to this, the exterior paint jobber of the HURRICANE RR is painted matte grey with golden touches, which definitely draws attention.

Now, let me express what perhaps might seem like my prejudice – yet, after having driven the G-Power G8M HURRICANE RR, I’m not 100 percent sure that this car is right for all people. However, let me assure you that it doesn’t leave any room to complain—it is, indeed, one fantastic machine that puts a big smile on your face. But it comes at a price. The G8M HURRICANE RR is expected to go for $350,000; this price does not include any form of customization or personalization.

For me, that’s a bit too steep. Of course, there is authoritative brute force, the beautiful shape, and unbelievable efficiency—but for $350,000? It is a question I find myself asking, and it is a question many potential buyers are likely to ask.

In conclusion, the G-Power G8M HURRICANE RR is a work of art in the automotive industry. If you have the bucks and you’re seeking the ultimate driving experience, this car shall not disappoint you. While some of us might never dream of splurging on such luxury, it is interesting to see from outside for the rest of us!
