The elder brother’s response upon hearing this idea was not very positive. “Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?” he said, a quote that would remain in history despite the fact that he, obviously, soon changed his mind.

Now, the famed BMW tuning brand is taking it a few steps further with its new G1 V8 HURRICANE RS model.

In fact, G-Power installed the entire powertrain from <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/BMW%20M3">the M3</a> including the DCT double-clutch transmission gearbox and stainless steel exhaust system, and while it was at it, also made use of the M3's front and rear axles! <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-brq4d-VNOzo/UGHnKt530hI/AAAAAAAJNJk/FNSAtcg-0NY/s1600/G-Power-BMW-1-M-Coupe-V8-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-brq4d-VNOzo/UGHnKt530hI/AAAAAAAJNJk/FNSAtcg-0NY/s200/G-Power-BMW-1-M-Coupe-V8-9.jpg" width="134"></a>Being the power-hungry company that it is, the Germany tuner wasn't satisfied with the stock engine's 414hp (420PS) so it bolted on a customized ASA supercharger system along with several other goods such as an aluminium cast air box that boost output to 591hp (600PS) and peak torque to 580Nm (428 lb-ft). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/g-power-builds-insane-bmw-1-m-coupe.html#more">Read more »</a>
