The E92 BMW M3 is easily one of the best-sounding cars to come out of Geramny in recent years, being surpassed by the now-defunct V10 M5, some Audi V8s and the 2.5-liter straight-five, also from Audi. If, however, you fit the 4.0-liter V8 unit with a supercharger, as well as an all-new titanium exhaust system, then what you get is a real monster.
This particular car, captured on video by Marchettino, has a G-Power supercharger kit on it, which is complimented by an all-new titanium exhaust system by Akrapovic, a system which also does away with the catalytic converter. However, its loss is easily offset by the performance gains achieved - 600 hp and 580 Nm (427 lb-ft).

That colossal power figure should enable the car to sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 4 seconds, and on to a top speed just shy of 200 mph (320 km/h). Also, being a BMW, the rest of the mechanical parts will manage the power boost with ease - except for the clutch, that is.
