G-Power’s limited edition Typhoon Black Pearl is now available for order and is priced from €295,000 ($415,225 USD). The Black Pearl, which is based on the previously seen X5 Typhoon, features a monotone black paint job and an aggressive body kit with revised fascias, a new hood (with improved ventilation), and wider fender flares. Included in the styling modifications for the BMW X5 are a rear diffuser, a roof-mounted spoiler, aerodynamic side skirts, and 23-inch Silverstone aluminum wheels wrapped in high performance Michelin tires. G-Power outfitted the 4.8-liter V8 engine with a SK III RS supercharger, a carbon fiber air intake, a large-volume aluminum charge air cooling system, a SpeedFlow high-performance exhaust system (with racing headers, racing catalysts and racing end mufflers), forged MAHLE pistons, new fuel injectors (with a larger fuel mass capacity), and revised engine electronics. With these upgrades, the engine is now able to generate 625 hp (460 kW) and 700 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 4.5 seconds, and 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 16 seconds. Top speed is more than 300 km/h (186 mph).
