197mph LPG E92 Record Breaker!
The £140k AC Schnitzer GP3.10 - an E92 with an M5 engine (power upped to 552bhp) has broken the world record for an LPG powered top speed of 197mph!!
 for the full story and pic's http://www.autotrader.co.uk/EDITORIA...ews/37741.html Like to see what people think of it's styling?? Bit ott for my liking but it is a one off concept! |

It looks like it was styled using Homer Simpson's makeup shotgun

thanks for the link, maybe im blinkered here but 192 in a 550bhp engine is slow compared to what an actual 5 series can do with that engine as is a 0-62 in 4.6. So is this because of the LPG? so will it be quicker running on petroleum?

Well my experience of LPG was that it robbed the engine of about 10% of it's power. So the question is was the quoted horsepower produced on petrol or gas? I agree it doesn't sound very fast for the power.
