This 750-HP BMW X5 M Wants To Battle The Lamborghini Urus

German tuner G-Power will upgrade your BMW X5 M into a Lamborghini Urus fighter.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about the Lamborghini Urus becoming the world’s first Super SUV. Thanks to its Audi-sourced 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 producing 650 hp, the Urus is officially the fastest production SUV ever made with a 0-62 mph time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph. There are other alternatives in the aftermarket tuning world, however. If you’re looking to modify the already potent BMW X5 M, there are plenty of options available.

Since it first launched in 2014, the high-performance SUV is starting to get outclassed by the competition, so German tuner G-Power has updated it with new tuning packages offering a range of power enhancements. Powered by a 4.4 liter twin-turbocharged V8, a stock BMW X5 M delivers an impressive 575 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque allowing it to do 0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph. Opting for G-Power’s Stage 1 kit raises the X5 M’s output to 650 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque to match the Lamborghini Urus by using either the tuner’s Bi-Tronik 2 V1 engine software optimization or an external Bi-Tronik 5 V1 power module.

The stage two upgrade boosts the twin-turbo V8’s power to 700 hp and 667 lb-ft of torque. To achieve this, G-Power installs a new set of downpipes next to one of the two electronic power enhancements to reduce the back pressure in the exhaust system. If you want the best possible performance, the highest configuration stage transforms the BMW X5 M into a mighty 750-hp monster with 722 lb-ft of torque. This configuration adds a new G-Power titanium exhaust system with four 100-mm carbon tailpipes, delivering a 23-kg weight advantage over the SUV’s standard exhaust system. The turbocharger has also been tweaked to round off the hardware modifications.

In addition, G-Power offers a widebody kit that gives the X5 M a more muscular look thanks to new fenders, front and rear spoilers, and a carbon Venturi hood for extroverted drivers. G-Power hasn't detailed how these modifications affect the performance, so we’d love to see this modified BMW X5 M battle it out with the Lamborghini Urus.

Stock Mercedes-AMG E63 S Destroys 750-HP BMW M6 On The Strip

Even with 750 hp on tap, the M6 couldn't keep up with the Benz.

The Mercedes-AMG E63 S is an absolute monster of a sedan. With its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 612 horsepower and 626 lb-ft of torque, the four-door supercar can sprint to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. To prove just how much of a performance machine this really is, one owner took his ride to the drag strip and squared up against its two Teutonic rivals in the form of the BMW M6 and Audi RS7. However, while the Merc was stock, both the Bimmer and Audi had been tuned to deliver 750 hp.

With well over 100 hp of extra oomph at their disposal, you’d think the E63 would have been blown away by the tuned German heavyweights. But you’d be wrong. At least when it came to the BMW.

Against the Audi, the E63 managed the quarter mile in 11.206 seconds at 124 mph and the half-mile in 17.669 seconds at 152 mph. Against the M6, the Benz clocked a quarter-mile time of 11.317 secs at 124.5 mph and the half-mile in 17.595 secs at 152.9 mph. In contrast, the M6, packing Evotech’s Stage 2 kit, took 11.717 secs at 127.9 mph to reach the quart-mile mark, and 17.898 seconds at 156.53 mph to reach the half-mile finish line. The Audi was the clear winner, with the RS7 benefiting from a GoshaTurboTech GTT750 power kit, clocking the quarter-mile in 10.591 secs at 133.18 mph and half mile in 16.679 secs at 162.68 mph.
