One Hundred More Horses Set Free

The newest dish on our menu of conversions is the BMW M5 – which our team has taken from 441kW to 515kW – a gain of 74kW, or a solid 100 horsepower!

Torque, meanwhile, surges to 907 Nm from 750 in showroom form and there’s no compromise on the delivery either: at just 1 500 rpm it has already climbed from 355 to 420Nm. At 6 000 rpm, there’s still 735 on tap, almost as much as the standard engine’s maximum twist, which is achieved at 4 000 rpm.

OUR SUPERCHARGED CONVERSIONS SET RECORDS!

RGMotorsport continues to set new records in the tuning aftermarket, with two of our Supercharged conversions in the limelight.

At the annual Tuner Wars event at the beginning of September, a customer of ours in a Mustang Supercharged ran an 11.6-second quarter-mile, a feat which (as far as we know) has not been equalled with a similar package. The exact numbers, for the record, show a best run of 11.62 seconds with a terminal speed of 192.2 km/h while a VBOX datalogger fitted to the car shows that it also did a 3.8 second 0 – 100 km/h time!
