A few days ago, we reported exclusively on the Limited Edition BMW M6 model which will be present at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

While the car is days from officially being introduced, several BMW dealerships across the world have received their first units. As you recall, BMW announced that only 100 M6 Competition vehicles will be built.

For those of us that live in the U.S., no official word on whether the vehicle will be available for us as well, but we expect to learn more at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Courtesy of our German blog, BimmerToday.de, we have the first footage of the BMW M6 Competition.

G-Power is slowly becoming one of the most important BMW tuners and their latest work, doesn’t cease to amaze us. Last week it was the G-Power Typhoon X5, prior to that we have seen their M3 version, but their biggest achievement so far, it has been the M5 Hurricane, the fastest luxury sedan in the world -228mph.

But today, they have outdone themselves by releasing not just one of the best looking modded BMWs I have seen in a very long time, but also the fastest BMW Coupe in the world. G-Power  named it  Hurricane CS and it is based on the BMW M6.

The M6 Hurricane CS uses an upgraded version of the M5 Hurricane’s engine, a twin-supercharged version of the legendary high-rev M V10 that delivers an output of 750 horsepower available between 7,500 and 8,000 rpm, taking the M6 Hurricane CS to a top speed of 370km/h or 231mph. The super-duper engine also develops up to 590 lb-ft(800Nm) of torque at 5,000 rpm.

The fellows at Drivers-Republic took the time to compare the BMW M6 with Competition package against the beautiful, classy and fast Porsche 997 Turbo. BMW M6 Competition is powered by the 5.0 liter V10 engine producing 507 horsepower.

The newest generation 997 Turbo is powered by a flat-six 3.6 liter turbocharged engine outputting 480 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. Now the question is: will the 997 Turbo be able to keep up with the more powerful M6? Are horsepower a decisive factor these days?

Take a look!

A small independent body styling company, Racer X Design, decided to release some renderings of their BMW RZ-M6 concept based on the popular 6 Series and we believe, on the M1 Hommage also. If you recall, 2003 is remembered by the BMW fans as the year the 6 Series made its comeback as a production car.

The original 6er was launched in 1976 with two models: the 630CS and 633CSi.

1984 saw the introduction of the M635CSi, essentially an E24 powered by the powerplant of the BMW M1. Last year,  in honor of the M1’s 30th birthday, BMW decided to reveal the M1 Hommage, a concept that pays tribute to the original M1. The fellows at Racer X Design combined the current 6 Series design with the retro style of the E24 6 Series and incorporating design elements from the recently unveiled M1 Hommage.
