The BMW M8 Competition is a car of outstanding performance, but for those who like more power, Manhart has prepared a special edition of the Manhart MH8 800. It is the fastest BMW M8 Competition in the world.

Painted in matte blue with a black stripe that extends the entire length of the car and on both sides, which is unusual for Manhart who makes all his models in black with a gold stripe. Many carbon parts, such as the front spoiler, rear spoiler and diffuser, give a more aggressive look.

It rides on 21-inch gloss black Concave One rims wrapped in 265/30 ZR21 (front) and 305/25 ZR21 (rear) tires.

Under the hood is a 4.4-liter V8 biturbo V8 engine that, thanks to a remapped ECU and upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission, delivers 823 hp (605 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 2.6 seconds and 124 mph in 5.7 seconds.
