A couple of months ago, G-Power presented their take on the new BMW M5, and more recently, they have subjected it to the dyno test. The official numbers to look for in their Stage 3 upgrade are 800 PS and 980 Nm of torque. This allows the Bavarian super-sedan to hit 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 335 km/h. With this output, the latest BMW M5 won鈥檛 shy from a straight-line fight with most modern supercars. But everything comes at a cost and owners of the M5 will pay nearly 鈧?22,500 for these upgrades, which include modified turbochargers, titanium exhaust system complete with carbon fiber tailpipes and an ECU-tune, among others. Also, the increased V-max costs 鈧?773.50. All prices are for the German market and don鈥檛 include installation. There are some lesser offerings from G-Power for the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that powers the new BMW M5. Stage 2, for instance, comes with 750 PS and 920 Nm of torque, and Stage 1, has 700 PS and 840 Nm of torque. As for the stock model, it benefits from 600 PS and 750 Nm of torque.

The origins of the Porsche Carrera GT laid on the drawing board in complete abandonment back in 2000 while Porsche shifted its manpower and resources toward the development and production of the Cayenne. The 2006 Carrera GT was slated as a race car and a stand alone prototype made it to the floor of the 2000 Geneva Motor Show. There were rumors that a member of the Porsche family who held a seat on the board of directors did not want the Carrera GT to hit the track against the newly released Audi R8. Though the company officially cited rule changes in the FIA that enticed them to drop the project, the interest taken at the 2000 Geneva Motor Show that Porsche decided to re-launch the project as a street legal vehicle. The designers returned to the table with new plans and modifications to create the new 2006 Porsche Carrera GT.
Production began on the select few Carrera GTs in 2004. The planned 1,500 cars were reduced to 1,250, 340 of which were sold in the United States. The Carrera GT began with a powerhouse 5.7 litre V-10 engine riding on 605 horse power. The factory released statistics that claimed she had a 0 to 60 mile per hour time of 3.9 seconds but road tests produced figures closer to 0 to 60 in under 3.5 seconds. The factory claims a top speed of 204 miles per hour and the road tests produced 211 miles per hour. The Carrera GT comes only with a 6 speed manual transmission, one of the few performance cars on the road in the last few years without the optional sequential shift transmission. New ground was broken with the installation of the ceramic composite clutch which is only 6.65 inches in diameter. Lightweight is the name of the game when it comes to the styling and design of the Carrera GT.
