G-Power has turned to the BMW X6 M50d as their latest project vehicle.

This time it has tuned this impressive tri-turbo diesel engine by reprogramming its ECU, which takes the torque figure up to a massive 870Nm.

To complete the upgrade, G-Power also removes the 250km/h speed restrictor and adds a set of 23-inch alloy wheels.

No performance figures were provided, but we guesstimate that the G-Power 50d should be able to accelerate to 100km/h in less than five seconds. With the restrictor removed, we see no reason why this big beast shouldn’t be able to get to 300km/h.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
