MHX4 600 based on the BMW X4 M Competition

Another upgraded BMW model comes from one of the most famous German and world tuners, Manhart. It is the MHX4 600 which is based on the luxury BMW X4 M Competition.

The luxury SUV is painted black with a gray stripe that runs the entire length of the car from the hood over the roof to the rear. Manhart equipped the car with an eight-piece carbon exterior kit that includes a front spoiler, two-piece front skirt add-ons, two-piece front skirt inlets, mirror caps and a rear diffuser. The suspension has been optimized while H&R springs bring the car closer to the ground by an additional 30 mm. There is also a stainless steel exhaust system, four 100 mm tailpipes with ceramic or carbon coating, MANHART race downpipes without catalytic converters or MANHART sport downpipes with 300-cell catalytic converters, while the brakes are retained from the standard X4 M.

Inside, Manhart didn’t change a thing. The design from the BMW X4 M Competition has been retained.

Under the hood is a 3.0L S58 biturbo straight-six engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 559 lb-ft (785 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard X4 M has 510 HP (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. A power increase of 125 hp (92 kW) and 99 lb-ft (135 Nm) was achieved thanks to the MHtronik powerbox or by ECU remapping. Power is sent to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on multi-spoke ALPINA 22 inch wheels wrapped in 255/35 (front) and 295/30 (rear) tires. Optionally, there are Concave One 21 inch wheels wrapped in 265/35 (front) and 305/30 (rear) tires.

G5M CS Hurricane RR based on the BMW M5 CS

The German tuner G-Power is specialized for BMW models, and its latest work is the pride of the Bavarian company, the BMW M5 CS. It is the most powerful high-performance sports sedan and G-Powers response to Brabus’ most powerful AMG E-Class, the G5M CS Hurricane RR.

The standard BMW M5 CS is powered by a 4.4l biturbo V8 engine with 626 hp (467 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the Hurricane package that brings CNC-milled turbine and compressor housings, larger compressor and turbine wheels, and tweaked turbo blades, the G5M CS now has 900 hp (662 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. Also, there are plenty of carbon body elements, a GP-900 software upgrade and a set of 21-inch alloy wheels. If you’re wondering how much it costs, it’s not cheap at all, as the most powerful Hurricane package costs €119,000 (including VAT).

G-Power did not reveal the performance of the car, but it is known that it can reach a top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h). However, if we consider that the standard M5 CS reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, it is sure that the G5M CS will be a super fast car. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

For those who want less power in their cars, G-Power offers the M5 CS with 700, 750, 800 or 850 HP.

Maserati MC20 with 701 HP

Among the many cars on the market, German tuner Novitec sticks to what it knows best, which is upgrading fast supercars. Its latest work is the recently introduced Maserati MC20 with aerodynamic improvements and more power.

Novitec equipped the car with a special equipment kit that includes carbon fiber parts such as new front bumper wings, a larger rear spoiler, front hood inserts, side intakes, a set of new 20 and 21 inch Vossen NF 10 rims, adjustable suspension, sport springs that lower the MC20 for additional 25mm, stainless steel or inconel exhaust system with sport mufflers, 100-cell sport catalysts (optional) and stainless steel or carbon finish 100mm tailpipes.

Inside, the dark interior is adorned with sports seats covered in black leather and Alcantara. The same combination of leather and Alcantara can be seen on the door panels, dashboard and steering wheel. On the central part of the dashboard is a large multimedia screen, while in front of the passenger on the glove box you can see a plate with the inscription “MC 20.”

When it comes to the powertrain, the MC20 is powered by a 3.0l Nettuno V6 engine with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque. Thanks to two plug-and-play N-TRONIC modules and a new exhaust system, the car now has 701 hp (516 kW) and 603 lb-ft (818 Nm) of torque. Now the MC20 reaches 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, which is 0.1 second faster than the standard model, with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
