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.

Manhart will produce only 10 units of this model.

There is also a splitter, lip spoiler, diffuser, and a suspension enhanced by H&R springs that lower the car by 30 mm.
