MH2 500 II (G42) has more power than BMW M2

The MH2 500 II (G42) is a new project from German tuner Manhart, which once again shows why it is considered one of the best, if not the best, BMW tuners. It is a special equipment kit produced for the high-performance sports car, the BMW M240i.

Unlike most Manhart projects, the MH2 500 II is finished in pastel blue with a dark decal set instead of the gold that is standard on most of their projects. It is equipped with an aerodynamic package that includes a front bumper, sills, rear diffuser and a flat rear wing, 20″ Concave One double-spoke alloy wheels finished in glossy white, Variant 3 coil-over suspension by KW Suspensions with adjustable rebound and compression damping, sports brake system that can be individually upgraded at the customer’s request. Customers can also choose MANHART lowering springs by H&R in combination with the OEM shock absorbers.

Inside, the BMW M steering wheel is wrapped in a leather/Alcantara combination with black-painted spokes, and there are also MANHART carbon fiber shift paddles.

The biggest change is under the bonnet. The MH2 500 II is powered by a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo engine that now delivers 503 hp and 663 Nm of torque, which means it is more powerful than the M2, which has 460 hp / 550 Nm as standard or 480 hp / 600 Nm in the LCI version. The increase in power is achieved thanks to the installation of a new intake manifold, an integrated intercooler and a MANHART downpipe with a 300-cell HJS catalytic converter, which is connected to a GRAIL stainless steel rear silencer with valve control and four matte black MANHART exhaust pipes. The in-house MHtronik power box is tuned for high-quality 102-octane gasoline.

For those who want more power, Mahnart has also prepared performance upgrade packages (Stage 2 and Stage 3), which are available on request.

Lamborghini Miura with wide body kit

Japanese company Liberty Walk is known for its extreme car transformations, and one of their latest projects is the Lamborghini Miura with a wide body kit.

The LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura in the photo is a graphic representation of the car that will debut at the 2025 Tokyo Motor Show. Like other projects of the Japanese tuner, equipped with extreme body kits, this Lamborghini Miura has also gone through the same process. It is equipped with wider fenders, a black and white livery with Liberty Walk logos, a large rear wing, side skirts, a wide front and rear splitter, all made of carbon fiber.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information that there have been any changes. There is still a 4.0-L V12 engine with 345 hp (257 kW) and 262 lb-ft (355 Nm) of torque, paired with a 5-speed-manual transmission.

Liberty Walk did not release the price of this body kit, but they announced that at the Tokoji Auto Show, in addition to the LB-Silhouette WORKS GT Lamborghini Miura, they will reveal another car, about which there is no information yet.

Mansory Initiate is a Lamborghini Revuelto with 1,070 hp

In March 2023, Lamborghini unveiled its first car with a true form of a hybrid drivetrain, the Lamborghini Revuelto. It is a sports car with an aggressive design on which German tuner Mansory has based its new project, the Mansory Initiate.

The Mansory Initiate is an equipment kit that includes a front apron with side flaps to increase downforce on the front axle, a front hood made of visible carbon, newly designed carbon sills with integrated air deflectors and side air inlets for engine cooling, a redesigned rear diffuser that, in combination with an extendable rear spoiler, increases downforce on the rear axle.

Mansory offers full interior customization according to customer wishes. The interior of the car in the photos is upholstered in leather and Alcantara with gold thread and an embroidered Mansory logo on the headrest.

The Mansory Initiate is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-L V12 engine combined with three electric motors for a total output of an impressive 1,070 hp (797 kW) and 783 lbft (1,062 Nm) of torque. The V12 engine delivers 880 hp (656 kW) and 560 lb-ft (760 Nm) of torque, which is slightly more than the factory 825 hp and 725 Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.4 seconds with a top speed of 354 km/h.

The price of the upgrade is not known.
