Manhart MH2 450 based on the BMW M240i

After the German tuner company Manhart introduced the MHX3 600 last month, this time another model from the BMW family was presented. It is a Manhart MH2 450 model based on the M240i xDrive.

The Manhart MH2 450 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine with 450 hp (331 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power given that the standard M240i has 374 hp (275 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The MH2 450 is painted black with standard gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the car. It is equipped with several carbon body elements, a remapped ECU, a new stainless steel exhaust system, a downpipe race without a catalytic converter, and is driven on reinforced 20-inch aluminum rims with a golden pinstripe on the rim edge.

There is no data on price and performance for now. Given the projects for which Manhart used the last BMW M2 (F87), it is realistic to expect that their creation will have more than the stated 650 hp.
