Video Tour of the Unmade BMW M Cars Including the M3 Tourer and Compact, Ur-Roadster and M5 Cabriolet

It is by far, the most sacred place for a BMW M fan. We’re talking about the BMW M Division’s underground facility where the company stores copies of all the production cars and prototypes it has ever built, including a variety of never before seen in public vehicles. In a surprising but much welcomed move, the German automaker recently opened the doors of the special M garage to the members of the press and select enthusiasts revealing an array of models that most had only heard about.

We already brought you a video of the wild M8 Coupe with the 580-horsepower V12 engine that was eventually used on the McLaren F1, but now we have several videos showcasing the entire lineup of M cars.

These include the E46 M3 Touring (BMW for station wagon), the E36 M3 Compact powered by the same 321HP straight-six from the M3 Coupe of the time, the E34 M5 Cabriolet with open-top seating for four, an M3 powered E30 ute and possibly the strangest creation yet, the so called Ur-Roadster. The latter is said to have been developed after the Z1 with power being delivered by the E30 M3’s 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine.

2011 G-Power BMW M6 Hurricane RR

The world’s fastest 4 seat coupe, the G-Power BMW M6 Hurricane RR, a car capable of reaching a top speed of nearly 370km/h (229mph). It has twin superchargers called the ASA T1-316 radial supercharger reaching 800hp, a development of the previous SK III RS bi-supercharger system that has 750hp. But the performance of the G-Power BMW M6 Hurricane RR doesn’t stop from top speed alone.

It has incredible acceleration, in less than 4 seconds it can reach a speed of up to 100km/h. Aerodynamics play an important role as well; this car has been equipped with a carbon fiber front skirt and spoiler in the rear to generate greater aerodynamic down force at high speeds. In addition to its high-speed capability is its G-POWER RS coil over sports suspension together with its high-end braking system called the G-POWER high performance braking system.
Because of its incredible top speed and superior acceleration this car is nearly as fast as a hurricane, a very fast car.
