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

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.

MH8 700 Cabriolet

Although all BMW models are more than powerful enough for the road, Manhart still believes that is not enough. So they decided to upgrade the luxury BMW M850i, to create the MH8 700 Cabriolet.

The MH8 700 Cabriolet is based on the BMW M850i, and Manhart offered owners a new equipment kit that includes upgraded turbochargers, a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, a new intercooler, ECU unit remapping, four carbon or ceramic exhaust pipe finishes. There is also a splitter, lip spoiler, diffuser, and a suspension enhanced by H&R springs that lower the car by 30 mm.

The MH8 700 is powered by a 4.4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 710 hp (522 kW) and 682 lb-ft (925 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power as the BMW M850i ​​has 522 hp (384 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The car is equipped with 20-inch Manhart Concave One rims with 245/35 (front) and 275/30 (rear) high-performance tires.

The price of the MH8 700 is not known, but it is expected to be slightly lower than the price of the more powerful MH8 800.

Manhart MH2 450 based on the BMW M240i

After the German tuner company Manhart introduced the MHX3 600 last month, this time another model from the BMW family was presented. It is a Manhart MH2 450 model based on the M240i xDrive.

The Manhart MH2 450 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine with 450 hp (331 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power given that the standard M240i has 374 hp (275 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The MH2 450 is painted black with standard gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the car. It is equipped with several carbon body elements, a remapped ECU, a new stainless steel exhaust system, a downpipe race without a catalytic converter, and is driven on reinforced 20-inch aluminum rims with a golden pinstripe on the rim edge.

There is no data on price and performance for now. Given the projects for which Manhart used the last BMW M2 (F87), it is realistic to expect that their creation will have more than the stated 650 hp.
