BMW M4 CSL upgraded by G-Power

The BMW M4 CSL is a track monster and a powerful car, for which the Bavarian tuner G-Power has prepared a package of carbon components and three stages of power improvement, which make it better and more powerful than the factory version.

The tuner equipped the car with a venturi carbon hood and engine cover that emphasize more power, intake slats on the bumper that can be combined with the factory splitter, 20″ and 21″ Hurricane RR or Hurricane RS forged wheels. Depending on the customer’s wishes, the interior can be enriched with carbon shift paddles, velor floor mats and new upholstery.

The M4 CSL is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine that now delivers more power thanks to new software and an upgraded exhaust system, sports downpipe, 200-cell high-flow catalytic converters, and two sets of 100 and 110 mm tailpipes. . The result is three versions: GP-620, GP-670 and GP-720.

The base version of the GP-620 makes 620 hp (462 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. The GP-670 has 670 hp (500 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, and in this case the factory downpipe has been retained but software has been added. The GP-720 is the most powerful version with 720 hp (537 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, and a top speed of 320 km/h.

After the recently presented carbon body kit for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge, the American company 1016 Industries joined forces with 9 Design and equipped the Porsche 992 GT3 RS with the new 3RS Carbon Replacement Program carbon body kit.

As an exceptional sports car, the Porsche 992 GT3 RS received a lower diffuser, new lip spoilers with upright splitters, front bumper insert, side skirts, wing tips, hood vents, fender vents, new roof rails, hood louvers, side intakes, and mirror caps, all made of carbon. The total value of the carbon kit is 62,746 euros, and each part can be purchased individually.

All carbon components are easy to install, without the need for serious modification work as they match the original plastic parts. Customers can choose between a gloss or satin finish.

1016 Industries hasn’t changed anything under the bonnet. The Porsche 992 GT3 RS is still powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-L flat-six engine with 518 hp (386 kW) and 343 lb-ft (465 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic (PDK) transmission. It is powerful enough to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.6 seconds with a top speed of 296 km/h (184 mph).

MANHART GER 800 based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic Coupe

If we talk about specialists for tuning BMW cars, the first thing that comes to mind is the German tuner Manhart, who has over 35 years of experience in optimizing cars from this Bavarian manufacturer. Their latest work is based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic Coupe, which hit the market four years ago, and is called the MANHART GER 800.

The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic is an outstanding car that, thanks to the carbon-fiber widebody kit (by TopCar Design), got an even sportier look. It is equipped with extended fenders, an extended spoiler in the form of a duck tail, a hood with ventilation openings, a modified standard suspension that allows lowering of 30 millimeters. There’s also a set of yellow decals, which contrast the exposed carbon and matte dark green bodywork. The interior is upgraded with a matching black and yellow MANHART Alcantara leather with matching MANHART floor mats.

The car is mounted on 23″ wheels with satin black finish and yellow trim strips wrapped in 285/35ZR23 and 325/30ZR23 Manhart Concave One tires. MANHART OPF-Delete Sport downpipes with two 300-cell catalytic converters are also on board but are only intended for export as they are not TÜV-approved.

Under the bonnet is a mildly hybridized with an additional electric compressor, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 800 hp (596 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s 188 hp (140 kW) and 111 lb-ft (150 Nm) more torque compared to the factory car. The increase in power was achieved thanks to an additional electric compressor, MANHART turbo upgrade, MHtronik powerbox and exhaust system.

Manhart did not release the price of the upgrade.
