BMW M2 CS

The BMW M2 CS is a new Manhart project. Although the car has outstanding performance, Manhart has found a way to further enhance the capabilities of this car. The car is called MH2 GTR.

The external appearance suggests a connection with sports cars. The car has a carbon-fiber wing at the back and wider carbon-fiber wheel arches. The exterior is complemented by traditional BMW colors with carbon details.

Inside are new Recaro seats, while carbon fiber is applied to the steering wheel and gear selector.

The car features a new stainless steel exhaust system with four carbon-sheathed 100mm tailpipes. In cooperation with H&R, the suspension was also modified. The car has a forged wheel kit in matte black with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

When it comes to the engine, there’s a 3.0-liter inline-six engine with a twin turbocharger that produces 600 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. That’s more power compared to the standard model which has 450 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Additional power is achieved thanks to the new turbocharger, intercooler, and carbon intake system. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, sharpened by its own software recalibration.

When it comes to speed, the car is expected to accelerate from 0-62 mph (when equipped with the DCT) in 4 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph.

Mercedes-AMG G63

For early 2021, the German-based Mansory tuned the Mercedes-AMG G63. The tuned model is called Gronos (Mansory name for tuned G models).

Thanks to the British Racing Green color, the car is much darker compared to its predecessors. There are also forged carbon additions, such as the front apron, lighted visor, the door handle inserts, fender vents, mirror caps, and the external spare tire cover at the back.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in Fawn Brown leather. There is also a leather-carbon steering wheel as well as dark carbon inlays and aluminum pedals while the carpets are black.

The tuned Mercedes-AMG G63 has a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Thanks to larger turbochargers that inject more air into the engine, the engine produces 850 hp (634 kW) and 1000 Nm of torque which is impressive for an SUV. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

Production is limited to 10 units worldwide.
