Tuning company G-Power has modified a BMW M5 Touring to make it the fastest estate car in the world.

The power crazy German firm has added a pair of superchargers to the M5's existing 5.0-litre V10, which, along with other hi-tech tweaks means an overall total of 740bhp.

Such huge figures make the tuned M5 Touring - renamed the G-Power Hurricane - capable of 0-62mph in 4.5 seconds and 224mph flat out.

All that power comes at a price, though, as the G-Power Hurricane costs a hefty €242,016.80 (around £204,000).

It takes more than sheer grunt to put all that power on the road, so G-Power has also uprated the brakes and suspension, among other things, to keep the Hurricane in check on a fast run.

Being a BMW super estate, it's also rather luxurious. The cabin is decked out in leather and Alcantara with diamond stitching and there's a full suite of luxuries like a top end sound system. There's even a set of super wide, 20-inch alloy wheels on the outside.

The standard BMW M5 Touring is hardly a slow car - it produces 500bhp and is capable of 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph.

In addition to the fastest estate car in the world, G-Power's other accolades from its modified performance cars include the fastest LPG-powered car, the fastest BMW saloon, the fastest four-seater coupé and the fastest saloon car.
