Manhart MHX6 700 based on the BMW X6

When it comes to tuning BMW models, Manhart is a master, which he has proven many times. Following the recent Manhart CR 700 Wagon, this time the German tuner has taken a step forward with the Manhart MHX6 700.

The MHX6 700 is equipped with a variety of carbon accessories such as front grill, front spoiler, two-piece rear spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirts, mirror caps, two-piece rear bumper and decal set. There are also stainless steel exhaust system, downpipes without catalytic converters, four 100 mm MANHART carbon tailpipes and H&R springs that reduced ground clearance by 30 millimeters.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in a combination of black and yellow leather, while the steering wheel spoke trims and the gearshift paddles are made of fiber composite material.

The BMW X6 was used as the basis for the MHX6 700. It is powered by a 4.4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 730 hp (537 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of maximum torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This is a significant increase in power of 105 hp (77 kW) and 111 lb-ft (150 Nm) of torque, compared to the BMW X6. Manhart set the car on 23-inch Classic Line-Y-spoke rims wrapped in 315/25 ZR23 tires.

Mansory’s first showroom in Dubai

Due to growing demand, the German tuning company Mansory has expanded its operations to the Middle East market by opening its first showroom in Dubai. On that occasion, customers will be offered three special models called “Special UAE.”

Mansory, which is known for upgrading expensive cars, gave potential buyers the opportunity to enjoy upgraded Rolls-Royce Cullinans, Lamborghini Urus and Mercedes G-Class in the AMG version. Each model comes in a two-tone configuration, gray or purple. Also, there are Venatus Evo S equipment kit for Lamborghini Urus, Gronos equipment kit for Mercedes-AMG G class and Billionaire equipment kit for Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The MANSORY Coastline, based on Rolls-Royce Cullinan, is powered by a 6.7-liter twin-turbo V12 engine with 610 hp (449 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the standard model, which has 563 hp (414 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car is mounted on 24-inch “FS23” multispoke wheels.

The MANSORY Venatus, based on the Lamborghini Urus, is powered by a 4.0 L FSI twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 880 hp (647 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. The standard Urus has 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The car is mounted on 24-inch light-alloy wheels type “CV.7 Air” wrapped in 295 / 30R24 (front) and 355 / 25R24 (rear) tires.

MANSORY Gronos, based on the Mercedes-AMG G63, is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine. Thanks to larger turbochargers that inject more air into the engine, the engine produces 850 hp (634 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1000 Nm) of torque which is impressive for an SUV. The Base G63 has 577 hp (424 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox that transmits power to all wheels. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

Although these are limited series, Mansory has not announced how many copies it will offer. The price is also unknown, but it is to be expected that they will cost more than the already expensive original models.
