January 5, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

German tuner Manhart is a master of improving the performance of German brands, especially BMW models. Their latest work is the Manhart MH5 900 based on the BMW 5 Series.

The MH5 900 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with 928 hp (692 kW) and 915 lb-ft (1,240 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power has been achieved by the remapped ECU, compared to the standard BMW 5 which has 625 hp (466 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a strengthened and recalibrated 8-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on Concave One in Silk Matt Black 21″ wheels wrapped in 275/30ZR21 front and 295/30ZR21 rear high-performance tires.

The car is finished in blue with two golden stripes on the sides. It is equipped with in-house aerodynamic and stylish carbon fiber parts such as the front spoiler, the kidney-shaped radiator grille, a two-part front apron insert and a pair of canards on the front apron, carbon bonnet in CS style, two-piece side skirts and side inserts, two-part roof spoiler above the rear windscreen, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and exterior mirror caps.

Inside, the carbon fiber basket seats are upholstered in brown leather while the headlining was refined with soft Alcantara. There are matching floor mats and Alkantara roof, the interior is completed by MANHART Dataview display and sky roof.

Better handling and agility are ensured by coilover springs by KW Suspensions, while the optionally available MANHART coilover suspension Variant 4 from KW suspension guarantees even more driving dynamics. For safe braking and stopping, the powerful and stable carbon-ceramic brake system from the M5 has been retained.

Lamborghini Urus Performante is the most powerful SUV from the company based in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. However, many tuners want to make it better, and one of the world’s best, Novitec, introduced its last work based on this car, Novitec Esteso Widebody.

The car is equipped with new carbon components such as front bumper, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, wider fenders and hood. There is also a new adaptive exhaust system that creates even more striking sound compared to the standard version. Inside, Novitec offers a wide selection of colors and materials, giving potential customers the opportunity to make their car unique.

Novitec also equipped the Urus with adaptive suspension with shorter springs, making the car closer to the ground for an additional 25 millimeters. It is mounted on reinforced 23-inch Vossen alloy wheels wrapped in 285/35 front and 325/30 rear Pirelli P Zero tires.

Novitec Esteso Widebody is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 782 hp (575 kW) @ 6,200 rpm and 761 lb-ft (1,032 Nm) of torque @ 2,900 rpm. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It is more powerful than a standard version that has 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.

Lamborghini Urus as Apocalypse 6×6

December 11, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Ten years ago, the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6×6 was one of the first cars to be transformed into a six-wheeler, which later proved popular with pickup enthusiasts. Now, South Florida Jeeps has transformed the powerful Lamborghini Urus into an Apocalypse 6×6 vehicle.

Two months ago, a video of this crazy beast was published on the Sliderz_Official YouTube channel. The car looks like an unfinished project, but what can be seen is breathtaking. It is finished in red with black carbon side mirror housings, door sills, fenders, and large wheels. The extension of the roof line and the rear part made it possible to install a third axle and two additional wheels. A new diffuser, lip spoiler and additional spoiler mounted on the roof were installed.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. The standard Lamborghini Urus is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h).

This isn’t the first car that South Florida Jeeps has transformed into a 6X6 over the years. Before the Urus, the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco and even the Land Rover Defender underwent a similar transformation.
