MH4 600 based on the BMW M4 Competition

February 9, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Having previously revealed several BMW models such as the MH3 500, the German tuner once again showed why it is considered one of the best tuners in the world. This time Manhart unveiled the MH4 600 based on the G82 generation BMW M4 Competition.

The MH4 600 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo S58 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power compared to the standard M4 Competition with 510 hp (370 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, thanks to the installation of the MHtronik auxiliary control unit. It is mounted on matt gold bronze 20 and 21 inch Styling 1000 M forged wheels.

The car is finished in black but this time, unlike most other Manhart works, there are no gold stripes on the car. It is equipped with a MANHART stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, four 100 mm tailpipes, distinctive carbon radiator grille inserts, the side wing inserts, the rear diffuser and fender side blades. The offer also includes MANHART downpipes Race without catalytic converters or MANHART downpipes Sport with 300-cell GESI catalytic converters. Inside, the original luxurious interior has been retained.

Just like the original BMW M4 Competition, the tuned MH4 600 will attract the attention of all car enthusiasts, not only BMW fans, and it should be noted that the options are not approved in Germany and are intended for export.

There is also a set of 22-inch forged rims, in 72 different colors, wrapped in 255/30 (front) and 285/30 (rear) tires. Novitec claims that the new set of rims not only gives a more aggressive look but also improves the handling of the crossover. Also, the consumption of electricity over long distances is reduced by up to 7 percent.

Inside, various interior customization options are offered including a wide range of colors and materials. The seats are upholstered in black leather that also covers the door panels and the central console, while the ceiling is upholstered in Alcantara. There are also carbon details on the dashboard and door panels.

When it comes to the powertrain, Novitec hasn’t changed anything. Tesla Model Y is powered by two independent electric motors with a total power of 450 hp (336 kW) and 471 lb-ft (639 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (241 km/h).
