The tuner also offers a performance increase with tuning box for the new BMW M8 models, which delivers 690 HP (507 kW) and 656 lb-ft (890 Nm) of torque.

The base BMW M8 Competition is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (306 km / h).

The Manhart MH8 800 is the world’s fastest BMW M8 Competition

January 7, 2022 M.K.

The BMW M8 Competition is a car of outstanding performance, but for those who like more power, Manhart has prepared a special edition of the Manhart MH8 800. It is the fastest BMW M8 Competition in the world.

Painted in matte blue with a black stripe that extends the entire length of the car and on both sides, which is unusual for Manhart who makes all his models in black with a gold stripe. Many carbon parts, such as the front spoiler, rear spoiler and diffuser, give a more aggressive look.

The MH8 800 is equipped with a MANHART height adjustable spring kit that lowers the Coupe by 30 mm, a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, four 100 mm carbon or ceramic coated tailpipes, a new intercooler and a new suspension. It rides on 21-inch gloss black Concave One rims wrapped in 265/30 ZR21 (front) and 305/25 ZR21 (rear) tires.

Under the hood is a 4.4-liter V8 biturbo V8 engine that, thanks to a remapped ECU and upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission, delivers 823 hp (605 kW) and 774 lb-ft (1,050 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in just 2.6 seconds and 124 mph in 5.7 seconds. This is a significant increase in power compared to the base M8 Competition which has 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.
