Manhart MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01 based on the BMW M2 G87

Manhart is a wizard when it comes to tuning BMW cars, and their latest work is the MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01. It is based on the BMW M2 G87, the last generation of this model powered by an ICE.

At the beginning of February Manhart has introduced its first project based on this model, the MANHART MH2 560, finished the car in a traditional black color with a decal set in matte gray/blue that goes from the front mask over the hood and roof to the rear spoiler . However, this time Manhart offers more carbon components such as accessories on the hood, kidney grille, front bumper inserts and front spoiler, as well as a champagne-colored MANHART decal set.

Manhart also offers a new diffuser (made by Alpha-N), spoiler lip and a large fixed rear wing, side skirts, mirror caps from the M Performance parts program, and Manhart Variant 4 coilover suspension by KW Suspensions, which improves handling on the track. There’s also a sports downpipe, HJS catalytic converters, a stainless steel system with valve control and four 100mm matte black tailpipes. Inside, the rear seats were removed and a champagne-colored roll bar, Schroth seat belts and floor mats were added.

When it comes to the powertrain, the MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01 is far more powerful than previous projects. Under the bonnet is still the 3.0-liter S58 inline-six engine with 715 hp (533 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard M2 has 453 hp (333 kW) and the MH2 560 has 560 hp (418 kW). The increase in power was achieved with a new high-performance carbon intake and exhaust system and remapping of the ECU unit. It’s mounted on a set of 20″ Raffa Wheels RFS-02 Forged Series wheels wrapped in 285/30 and 305/25 tires.

Porsche 911 GT3 Touring with Manthey Kit

The German auto racing team Manthey-Racing has been cooperating with Porsche for years, and now they have prepared a special Manthey Kit for the track-focused Porsche 911 GT3 Touring.

The current generation Porsche 911 GT3 is a truly remarkable car even without the Touring Package. Thanks to ingenious aerodynamics, cornering remains impressive, even without a large rear wing. Manthey-Racing took it to a higher level by installing a coilover suspension, front lip, air guide elements on the underbody, upgraded brake pads and brake lines as well as a carbon fiber diffusor for improved aerodynamics.

Manthey-Racing has shown that better performance doesn’t always require more power. Under the bonnet is still a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with 510hp (375 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual or automatic seven-speed transmission (PDK). Manthey Kit also includes an optional lightweight wheel set that saves you 7.3 kg of weight compared to the stock wheels.

In 2022, the same company equipped this model with the Manthey Performance Kit, thanks to which the Porsche 911 GT3 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife set a lap time of 6: 55.74. That’s 4.19 seconds faster than the standard 911 GT3 which set a lap time of 6: 59.93 the year before. The same can be expected with the Manthey Kit.

Mansory Linea D’Oro based on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan

In 2010, Mansory introduced the unique Bugatti Veyron Linea D’Oro, which featured exposed carbon bodywork adorned with chrome details. 14 years later as part of the “Atelier” programme the tuner presented a high-end conversion based on the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the Mansory Linea D’Oro.

Mansory has equipped the car with specially designed carbon fiber body components, some of which are covered in gold. These include front and rear bumpers, an extended front splitter, side skirts, wheel arches, a rear spoiler and a special diffuser. Most of these components are painted in gloss black, but some of them, such as the hood, D-pillar details, rear spoiler and diffuser, have a forged carbon fiber finish.

The luxurious dark interior is decorated in black leather with fine gold details including the gold stitched “Linea D’Oro” lettering on the headrest. Shiny gold trim and forged details adorn the steering wheel, center console, dashboard, and other parts of this luxury car.

There were also changes under the bonnet. The Cullinan is powered by a 6.75-liter V12 engine with 619 hp (462 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque, a significant increase over the standard model’s 579 hp (432 kW) and 627 lb-ft of torque. ft (850 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to propel this SUV from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5 seconds with a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph).
