German tuner company Manhart has unveiled its new project, the Manhart DP 500. The car is based on the Land Rover Defender model and only 10 units will be produced.

Land Rover Defender is an outstanding car from a British manufacturer with satisfactory performance. It is powered by a P400 3.0L inline six-cylinder turbo engine with 395 hp (290 kW) at 5500 rpm and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque at 2000 rpm. However, Manhart engineers increased the output to 512 hp (377 kW) and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm) of torque thanks to a remapped ECU.

Manhart DP 500 is equipped with a new stainless steel exhaust system, with optional carbon or ceramic coated tailpipes, as well as improved brakes (on request) with red calipers. Thanks to the air suspension software or new coupling rods, the car can be lowered to the ground by an additional 30 mm. There are also light gray 24-inch MANHART Forged Line rims wrapped in 295/30 ZR 24 tires. Optionally, 22-inch black Concave One rims wrapped in 295/40ZR22 tires are also available.

Inside, the sports seats are upholstered in a combination of black leather and silver gray Alcantara with the Manhart logo on the headrest. The same combination was used on the door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, and the rest of the interior.
