Manhart carbon equipment kits for BMW X5M and X6M

Manhart is one of the world’s best tuners, especially when it comes to BMW models. This time, the German tuning company has prepared carbon equipment kits for BMW SUV models X5M and X6M. These are refreshed editions that arrived on the market last year, and which, thanks to Manhart, now look better and have more power.

SUVs from the Bavarian manufacturer received more aggressive looking hoods, a front spoiler, inserts in the middle section and on the sides of the front bumper, details of the rear bumper, two spoilers one each on the roof and tailgate, as well as accessories for the fenders and rear bumper , and sports thresholds.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard X5M is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine making 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Now thanks to improvements, this model has a whopping 800 hp (596 kW).

Carbon parts not only improve the appearance, but also improve aerodynamics and reduce the weight of the model. Customers can attach the components with adhesives or screws.

Irmscher Opel Corsa with more power

In 2023, Opel presented the new Opel Corsa, and now the German tuner Irmscher tried to infuse this supermini car with a sporty spirit and raise its performance to a higher level.

Powerful supermini cars have almost disappeared, but the demand for this type of car still exists. This was the reason for Irmscher to prepare a package of equipment that brings a lot of visual changes, chassis changes and performance improvements. These include fender extensions, deeper sills, an optional black hood and roof combined with red accents, and an additional wing on the rear spoiler. All parts are made of high quality OE material. There’s also a new set of 18-inch Turbo Star wheels, available in black or two-tone. Thanks to the adjustable suspension, the Corsa is an additional 30 mm closer to the ground, which increases its handling.

When it comes to the powertrain, the mild-hybrid Corsa is powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine the 48-volt system, which develops 99 hp (74 kW) or 134 hp (100 kW). The conventional model gained up to 20 hp more than the factory specifications (depending on the model). The engine is paired with a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. The complete package is compatible with all pogo variants of the Corsa including electric, and probably with other Stellantis models that use the same engines, including the Peugeot 208.

The price of the upgrade package is currently unknown.
