BMW repeatedly stated that an official high-performance Motorsport variant of the 7 series will never exist.
The reason why BMW is stubbornly opposing the idea of a M7 (although many customers seem interested in a very fast Bavarian luxobarge) is because the German car manufacturer considers it pointless as long as the Alpina B7 exists.
The F01 Alpina B7 generation was actually assembled in the same plant as the regular F01 7 Series and BMW stated that if a potential customer wants more from a 7 series, then a B7 is the perfect alternative.
G-Power, on the other hand, doesn’t believe a 4.4-litre, twin-turbo V8 with 540 horses is the way to go and that’s why the German tuning house has decided to offer a brand new tuning pack to the 760i variant.
Yes, the twin-turbo V12 gets a full-on treatment from the tuner, bumping its 544 horses and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) torque figure, all the way to 610 horses and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) – and all this by using the G-Power Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module. I don’t want to know what the V2 version does to the engine.
That’s enough grunt to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 Mph) in just 4.3 seconds (0.3 seconds faster than the Alpina B7) and beyond the 300km/h (186 Mph) mark.
Mind you, the 66 additional horses granted by the module activate when the driver is requesting full throttle and only after the prescribed engine coolant temperature has been reached.
Furthermore, if the engine exceeds its factory limits and capabilities, the power is cut-off to ensure its reliability and longevity. Oh, and the module is plug and play; you just stick it in whatever and then drive your imperial V12 Bavarian automobile like a mad man. Or let you chauffer do it.
The car can also be ordered with the signature Hurricane 21-inch forged rims and if you wonder why G-Power modified the F01 generation instead of the brand new G11, is because the G11 doesn’t offer a superlative engine spec, yet. As you can tell, G-Power only deals with BMW’s top notch cars and engines.
