Manhart CR 600 based on the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S

The recently presented Mercedes-AMG C63 has confirmed rumors that the German carmaker is giving up the V8 engine, at least when it comes to the C63. However, one of the best tuners in the world, Manhart, presented the CR 600 based on the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S.

CR 600 is powered by a 4.0-Liter V8 biturbo engine with 623 hp (458 kW) and 649 lb-ft (880 Nm) of torque, which was achieved by installing new turbochargers and intercoolers and remapping ECU units. Power is sent to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission with upgraded software. As a reminder, the standard model has 510 hp (375 kW) and 519 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.

The car is finished in black, but without gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the vehicle, which is standard for most Manhart works. It is equipped with a black radiator grille, optimized suspension, height-adjustable MANHART coil spring set by H&R, MANHART Downpipes Sport with 200 cells catalytic and stock brakes. It is mounted on diamond polished 20″ Concave One rims wrapped in 255/30 ZR20 front and 275/30 ZR20 rear Michelin tires.

Inside, the stock interior has been retained, while individually tuning options are available upon request.

Mercedes-AMG C63 is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine combined with a rear electric motor that will deliver a total of over 671 hp (493 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1.020 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, which is faster than the current BMW.

BMW i8 – more aggressive than ever

In 2021, BMW premiered its ultimate new generation car, the BMW i8. It is a plug-in hybrid car, ahead of its time, which always attracts attention thanks to its design. Now, Japanese car shop Liberty Walk has decided to make it even “crazier”.

Almost every panel of the car has been modified. The specially designed body kit includes a new bumper with a more prominent splitter and a pair of wings, a carbon hood, widened fenders, new wider side skirts, a rear wing and a new diffuser. There’s also a set of black Forgiato rims wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires.

The car really looks impressive and its exterior is decorated with a pink body, a black hood, black mirror caps and a black roof.

When it comes to the drive, nothing has been changed. The BMW i8 is powered by a turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor with a total power of 369 hp (271 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. It hits 60 mph in about 4.4 seconds. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Using only the electric motor the car has a range of only 22 miles.
