Well, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
And the video of this car doing 359 km/h on the Autobahn further below
Btw, what do you think about that interior? I'll go as far as to say its certainly way better that a Lumma interior

That is just sick... literally I think I just barfed a little from that disgusting interior.
359km/h is insane! That's like supercar speed - and a serious set of balls to hit and maintain the speed. Even the Bugatti Veyron has a number of built in provisions to handle that kind of speed (such as lowering suspension and wing & spoiler deployment which provide hundreds of lbs of down force to keep the car on the road). To hit those speeds in a modified station wagon not originally designed for it is either extremely ballsy or stupid.

The wheels are the same as on all G-Power cars. Maybe they are just the in-house wheel design.
Ah, that interior.. I am generally a fan of brown interiors, meaning BMW's OEM Hazelnut, Modena, Cohiba, Caramel, Tobacco, and particularly Oxyd-brown offerings. Its very difficult to get the exact colour of the G-Power interior from the pics, it all depends on the camera, its settings, and the light available.
Generally, I would accept the colour, but would remove a massive amount of "customization" to make it bearable for me. I would remove almost all pattern stitching, would remove the brown from the dash and headlining (leave it black), and be very reserved when using alcantara on the seats, maybe not at all. A panorama roof has to go in as well..

"I actually changed my mind to the better when I saw it in real life: pictures are too bright and it is much darker and subtle in real life."
That's what Gustav (the guy in the interior video) says on M5Board.
