G-Power, those plucky chaps of German persuasion who have sworn an oath to modify BMWs and make them mighty, has turned its mighty Germanic hand to LPG.
By strapping on two-superchargers and two fully sequential five-cylinder LPG systems onto the old BMW M5’s 5.0-litre V10 engine, they have made much power happen. 660bhp, to be precise, and 480lb ft of torque: the insecure among you will be emboldened by a 0-62mph time of 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 207mph – two more than the ‘standard’ petrol version.
The more wallet-conscious among you, however, will also be enamoured as LPG is a lot cheaper than petrol while emitting less nasty stuff than the gas-guzzling model. It, of course, verging on impossible to actually find an LPG retailer, but this is a fantasy car, so let’s fantasise, yes?
The G-Power LPG’d M5 also gets RS coilovers, big brakes, lighter 20in alloys and the satisfied glow of a man who has spent loads to save a little.
Lots more pictures to follow – it’s a good-looking beast, this one...
