New world record, the fastest BMW: G-Power Hurricane reaches 360 km/h | 225 mph at Papenburg speedoval 31st of Jan
Got an e-mail from ASA and G-Power:
"Our car is good for everyday use, we traveled to Papenburg and back to Autenzell not(!) on a trailer like other record cars. "
"We did the record in the 7th gear with a longer differential. This setup would be good for over 400 km/h. As the weather was very bad, we had to stop more testing, it was raining, almost snowing, and a very strong wind. The real potential of this car is even higher, as we already know from our testing."
"Together with G-Power we made the world record, of the fastest street legal BMW, in Papenburg with 360 km/h!"
