Manhart MH3 400d based on the BMW M340d

The German tuner company Manhart is one of the best, if not the best, when it comes to BMW cars. Their latest work is the Manhart MH3 400d based on the BMW M340d.

MH3 400d is powered by a 3.0-Liter 6-cylinder biturbo diesel engine (B57) with 380 hp (279 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. This was achieved thanks to the MHtronik Powerbox. It is equipped with a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, 4 x 90 mm MANHART carbon tailpipes, tuned suspension, H&R lowering springs that reduce the height of the car by 40 mm. As a reminder, the standard BMW M340d has 340 hp (250 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Despite the fact that the percentage of new cars sold in Europe powered by turbodiesel engines has been decreasing over the last few years, it still cannot be said that the time of diesel engines has passed, which is the official position of the management structures of several German car companies.

The car is finished in black, which is standard for most Manhart cars, with one gray stripe running the entire length of the vehicle and two side gray stripes. It is equipped with M Performance carbon front spoiler, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and Manhart decal set. It sits on Silk Matt Black Concave One 20″ wheels wrapped in 255/30 ZR20 front and 275/30 ZR20 rear Hankook tires.

ABT RS7 Legacy Edition based on the Audi RS7

Two months ago ABT Sportsline presented the RS6 Legacy Edition, now the German tuner presented the RS7 Legacy Edition, based on the Audi RS7, which will be produced in 200 units.

The standard RS7 is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with 630 hp (463 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. However, thanks to ABT’s turbocharger, new intercoolers, and new engine software, the RS7 Legacy Edition has 760 hp (559 kW) and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in just 3.1 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the standard model.

The car is equipped with a modified suspension, new springs and anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles, a set of 22-inch gloss black forged wheels wrapped in 295/30 ZR22 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport tires. The company says the RS7 now has superior handling on dry roads and extremely balanced performance on wet roads.

The tuner has prepared a special equipment kit giving the car a more aggressive look, which includes front bonnet insert, front lip, front skirt inserts with the enlarged air intake grilles, wheel arch vent, mirror cap attachments, side skirt attachments and inserts, rear skirt insert and the contrasting rear wing made of carbon fiber. The four round ends of the exhaust pipes with a diameter of 102 mm, which are integrated into the rear diffuser, contribute to a better sound.

Ford Mustang Dark Horse with 850 HP

Last year, Ford introduced the seventh generation Mustang Dark Horse, an extremely powerful car with everything that this car has been known for generations. However, Hennessey believes that this car is capable of much more, so they introduced their own version called the H850.

The standard Ford Mustang Dark Horse is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 418 lb-ft (567 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The engine upgrade comes with a three-year warranty or up to 58,000 kilometers.

Dark Horse, which is offered only in the Coupé version, is finished in red. The exterior design, decorated with white stickers, has been refreshed with several carbon elements such as a new front splitter, carbon-fiber side skirts, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler. Hennessey’s main focus was on engine upgrades. It is equipped with a mechanical compressor, an upgraded intake system, a new fuel pump, a more open exhaust and recalibrated electronics. It is mounted on 19-inch rims behind which are upgraded Brembo brakes.

“Our supercharged Mustang builds have continuously been customer favorites over the years, and Ford’s improved S650 platform will prove to be its most capable. Without question, our supercharged 850 horsepower Dark Horse model will be one of the most exciting and powerful muscle cars on the road — sure to turn heads with its distinctive supercharger wail and exhaust note,” said company founder and CEO John Hennessey.

Inside, nothing has been changed. This means that the car comes with high-quality materials and an adaptive 12.4-inch display in combination with a high-resolution 13.2-inch display of the multimedia system, which replaces the old instrument panel.

Meanwhile, Ford will soon offer the Mustang Dark Horse in both S and R (track-only) versions.
