MH8 700 Cabriolet

Although all BMW models are more than powerful enough for the road, Manhart still believes that is not enough. So they decided to upgrade the luxury BMW M850i, to create the MH8 700 Cabriolet.

The MH8 700 Cabriolet is based on the BMW M850i, and Manhart offered owners a new equipment kit that includes upgraded turbochargers, a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, a new intercooler, ECU unit remapping, four carbon or ceramic exhaust pipe finishes. There is also a splitter, lip spoiler, diffuser, and a suspension enhanced by H&R springs that lower the car by 30 mm.

The MH8 700 is powered by a 4.4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 710 hp (522 kW) and 682 lb-ft (925 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power as the BMW M850i ​​has 522 hp (384 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The car is equipped with 20-inch Manhart Concave One rims with 245/35 (front) and 275/30 (rear) high-performance tires.

The price of the MH8 700 is not known, but it is expected to be slightly lower than the price of the more powerful MH8 800.

Mansory and MTM Audi RS6 Avant

Tuner collaboration isn’t a common case, but when it does, it’s usually about great projects. One such example is the collaboration between Mansory and MTM on the Audi RS6 Avant upgrade project, in which Mansory is in charge of the body kit while MTM is in charge of engine performance.

The performance of the base Audi RS6 Avant is impressive, but that was not enough for the tuners who increased the power of the car, which can still serve as a family vehicle.

The Mansory equipment kit brings a black body color with blue stripes on the sides and across the entire length of the vehicle, two spoilers (on the roof and rear doors), two pairs of exhaust pipes, two vents on the bonnet, numerous carbon components and aerodynamic improvements such as a massive front spoiler , which gives it a more aggressive look. It is equipped with black 22-inch wheels with larger blue brake calipers.

MTM’s well-done work can be seen on the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 820 hp (603 kW) and 861 lb-ft (1,167 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power as the standard RS6 Avant has 591 hp (435 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in less than 3 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km / h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Manhart MH2 450 based on the BMW M240i

After the German tuner company Manhart introduced the MHX3 600 last month, this time another model from the BMW family was presented. It is a Manhart MH2 450 model based on the M240i xDrive.

The Manhart MH2 450 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine with 450 hp (331 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power given that the standard M240i has 374 hp (275 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The MH2 450 is painted black with standard gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the car. It is equipped with several carbon body elements, a remapped ECU, a new stainless steel exhaust system, a downpipe race without a catalytic converter, and is driven on reinforced 20-inch aluminum rims with a golden pinstripe on the rim edge.

There is no data on price and performance for now. Given the projects for which Manhart used the last BMW M2 (F87), it is realistic to expect that their creation will have more than the stated 650 hp.
