Η G-Power βελτιώνει την BMW 760i

14:10 10/7/2015 - Πηγή: AutoBlog

Η BMW παρουσίασε την ολοκαίνουρια 7-Series αλλά η G-Power μόλις παρουσίασε το τελευταίο βελτιωτικό πακέτο της για την απερχόμενη 7-Series και πιο συγκεκριμένα, για την 760i.

Ο βελτιωτικός οίκος τοποθέτησε στο υπερπολυτελές μοντέλο το Bi-Tronik 5 V1 πακέτο με αποτέλεσμα η απόδοση του twin turbo V12 να αυξηθεί στα 610 άλογα και τα 870 Nm ροπής από τα 2.600 σ.α.λ. Δηλαδή 66 άλογα και 120 Nm ροπής επιπλέον. Χάρη

σε αυτή την βελτίωση, η 760i της G-Power πιάνει τα 100 km/h από στάση σε 4.3 δευτερόλεπτα.

Όμως εξίσου σημαντική με τις επιδόσεις, είναι και η αξιοπιστία. Γι’ αυτό η G-Power τοποθέτησε ένα σύστημα προστασίας που δεν επιτρέπει στον κινητήρα να αποδώσει τα επιπλέον άλογα αν η θερμοκρασία του κινητήρα δεν βρίσκεται σε αποδεκτά επίπεδα.

“The powerful, silky smooth V12 bi-turbo engine in the current BMW

760i F01 allows it to vie for the crown in the luxury limousine class.

Now, the 610 hp/513 kW and 870 Nm unleashed by the G-Power Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module hands it the keys to the kingdom.

While the 0-100 km/h sprint is now covered in just 4.3 seconds, this

performance gain against the stopwatch is just the tip of the iceberg. It

certainly does not tell the whole story, least of all the fact that the

experienced engineers at Bavarian-based G-Power have seven high-speed world records under their belt.

Key Facts: G-POWER 760i F01

• 610 hp/513 kW at 6,000rpm (+66 hp/49 kW)

• 870 Nm at 2,600 rpm (+120 Nm)

• 0-100 km/h: 4.3 sec

• G-Power Bi-Tronik 5 V1 power module from 2,600 euro net

• 21-inch HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels 7,647 euro net

Out of the box, the BMW 760i is already a very complete package with

good all-round performance. But the extra 66 hp unleashed by G-Power adds an extra sporting dimension to the cars character.

Installed between the factory ECU and its data bus input, the Bi-Tronik

5 V1 power module is only activated when the driver demands full

throttle, remaining dormant during part load operation.

To ensure that V12’s reliability and longevity are not compromised, the

module has a built-in protection system that does not allow the extra

power to be accessed until the prescribed engine coolant temperature

has been reached.

At the other end of the scale, the ability to access the extra power is

taken offline if engine temperature approaches the factory limits. In all

situations, the standard engine protection protocols are the default

mode, and diagnostic functions are also unaffected. Installation of the

module is plug and play, and is just as easily reversed.

In line with G-Power’s thorough development routine, the tuning of this

760i upgrade system involved many kilometres of real world testing

and calibration on both public roads and the racetrack.

PRESS RELEASE – BMW Models

To complement this power increase for the 760i, G-Power also offers

owners their renowned 21-inch diameter HURRICANE RR forged alloy

wheel, which improves handling by reducing unsprung weight.

Developed in CAD using FEM-analysis, the G-Power alloy wheel is

formed from light and strong aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, and is

available in three finishes: Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey, and Silver

Stardust. All three colours are combined with a DIAMOND CUT finish.

G-Power uses Michelin tyres in 255/35ZR21 front and 295/30ZR21

sizes.”
