Manhart Alpina 2002 TII based on the BMW 2002 Tii

Between 1971 and 1975, BMW produced the Touring version of the 02 Series, the 2002 Tii, as the replacement for the 2002 ti. Now this model was the basis for the third modified car of Manhart’s Classic Cars department, the Manhart Alpina 2002 TII.

The Alpina 2002 TII is powered by a front-mounted 2.0-liter M10 4-cylinder engine with 200 hp (147 kW) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the 2002 Tii has 130 hp (96 kW) and 131 lb-ft (178 Nm) of torque. Power increase was done by installing K&N airbox and ALPINA engine tuning with EMU Classic ECU. The engine is paired with a BMW E21 323i 5-speed manual transmission.

The tuner installed Raab coilover suspension by KW for sporty handling, Wiechers strut for more body stiffness, 25-mm spacers front and rear, ALPINA wheel arch extensions, brake system of a 323i model from the successor series E21, MANHART exhaust system, single gas system and distributor from ALPINA, and original 16″ ALPINA rims with 215/40R16 and 225/40R16 tires.

This car is finished in Agave Green with light green and silver decorative stripes over the body, and lettering of the characteristic ALPINA decal set. Inside, sports seats by Scheel are upholstered in black fabric with bright green and blue stripes, and there is also a Clubsport roll bar at the rear.

MANSORY Gronos 4×4 based on the AMG G63 4×4 Squared

Last year, Mercedes-AMG unveiled its ultimate car, the AMG G63 4×4 Squared. It is a powerful G-wagon that is the desire of many tuners, and Mansory as one of the best tuners of Mercedes cars, presented a limited edition MANSORY Gronos 4×4 based on the AMG G63 4×4 Squared.

The Gronos 4×4 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine with 850 hp (625 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed shiftable automatic gearbox. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds with a limited top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). As a reminder, the G63 4×4 Squared has 577 hp (424 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on 22″ type “FD.15” wheels wrapped in 325/55R22 tires.

The car is equipped with aerodynamic components that give it a powerful look. Front apron, wider front fenders, door extensions and rear bulkhead are just some of the carbon components that adorn this G-wagon. There are also four LED auxiliary headlights mounted on the roof, the turn signal bases, the mirror housings, the air intakes, outlets, the spare wheel covered entirely in visible carbon, the rear cover, and the spoiler on the edge of the roof, all made of carbon.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in white leather with blue accents, “Gronos” lettering and a Mansory logo on the headrest. There are also safety seat belts with embroidered MANSORY logo, MANSORY sport aluminum pedals, a MANSORY leather sports steering wheel, elaborately quilted MANSORY leather floor mats, and MANSORY lettering in the grab handles. Mansory also allows customers to choose the interior in terms of leather, colors, stitching and carbon design.

Better and more powerful, the MANSORY Gronos 4×4 is designed for extreme off-road capabilities.

BMW M3 Competition xDrive with more than 1000 HP

The BMW M3 Competition xDrive is a high performance sedan with impressive performance and no upgrades. However, many are trying to show that this car can do more than the factory one, and the tuner company Bimmer PR has done just that.

The BMW M3 Competition xDrive is powered by a 3.0L inline-six engine with 503 hp (370 k) and 479 lb-ft () of torque. However, a series of modifications including a KLM Race S58 turbo system, a Precision Turbo & Engine 725 Gen 2 turbocharger, a Valvetronic titanium exhaust system, as well as a CSF pressurized air cooler in the intake manifold, raised the engine’s output to 1,026 hp (755 kW). Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Inside, carbon bucket seats are trimmed in red leather and fine black fabric. Red leather also covers the door panels and armrest, while the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather.

The car uses E85 ethanol fuel, which can increase power and torque by up to 20 percent in some cars, and thanks to the increased exhaust gas flow, the turbines spin faster. How powerful this tuned M3 is, is shown by the fact that it delivers more power than the Ferrari SF90, Lamborghini Revuelto or Bugatti Veyron.
