BMW M2 CS

The BMW M2 CS is a new Manhart project. Although the car has outstanding performance, Manhart has found a way to further enhance the capabilities of this car. The car is called MH2 GTR.

The external appearance suggests a connection with sports cars. The car has a carbon-fiber wing at the back and wider carbon-fiber wheel arches. The exterior is complemented by traditional BMW colors with carbon details.

Inside are new Recaro seats, while carbon fiber is applied to the steering wheel and gear selector.

The car features a new stainless steel exhaust system with four carbon-sheathed 100mm tailpipes. In cooperation with H&R, the suspension was also modified. The car has a forged wheel kit in matte black with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

When it comes to the engine, there’s a 3.0-liter inline-six engine with a twin turbocharger that produces 600 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. That’s more power compared to the standard model which has 450 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Additional power is achieved thanks to the new turbocharger, intercooler, and carbon intake system. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, sharpened by its own software recalibration.

When it comes to speed, the car is expected to accelerate from 0-62 mph (when equipped with the DCT) in 4 seconds with a top speed of 174 mph.
