Is it possible in Gromacs to make the group center mass translate quicker ( in  higher temperature ) and at the same time the same group inners still remain  normal molecular simulations ( in normal temperature )?

You can put a constant acceleration on a group. Since this will work on
all atoms alike, you will have effective center of mass translation.
Note that when you do not have some kind of built-in friction from e.g.
solvent, the acceleration will go on until inifinite velocities.
