Manhart RQ 900

Manhart Performance has upgraded another Audi model. This time it’s the RQ 900, a high-performance SUV based on the Audi RS Q8.

The Audi RS Q8 is powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine with 600 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, which allows it to reach 62 mph (100 km / h) in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 190 mph (305 km / h). This is more than a good result for a car that weighs almost 2.4 tons. However, that did not impress Manhart.

The RQ 900 is powered by the same V8 engine but with 918 hp and 870 lb-ft (1,180 Nm) of torque. This is still better than Mansory, ABT and MTM, and is currently the second most powerful tuned Audi RS Q8 behind Wheelsandmore’s 996 hp beast.

To achieve high performance, Manhart has installed a new intercooler and a turbo performance kit. Wider fenders, front splitter, rear spoiler, and a new stainless steel exhaust system with four 100 mm exhaust pipes with ceramic or carbon finish have been installed. The RQ 900 has an adjustable suspension that allows lowering by 30 or 40 mm.

Inside, there are leather upholstery with decorative stitching, Manhart floor mats, and “golden” details on the dashboard, steering wheel and doors.

The RQ 900 will use MANHART Classic Line rims with 24-inch tires measuring 295/30 ZR24 and 355/25 ZR24.

BMW M2 with 518 hp

German tuner company Manhart has unveiled its new project, the Manhart MH2 500 Limited. The MH2 500 is based on the BMW M2 Competition model and only 10 units will be produced.

The car got a new carbon fiber front and rear spoiler, a new H&R suspension and 20-inch Manhart Concave One wheels, as well as four 100mm exhaust pipes. The wheels are in Gunmetal Gray color with Manhart decals. Inside, there is an AK Motion screen located on the driver’s side.

Speaking of engine power, the standard BMW M2 Competition has a 4-liter six-cylinder biturbo engine that delivers 410 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. Manhart not only wanted to overpower the M2 model, but did the same to the M4 model. Thanks to the MHtronik control unit, the power of the 3.0-liter six-cylinder S55 engine has been increased to 518 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque.

BMW M3 and M4 – a new Manhart project

The BMW M3 and M4 are a new Manhart project. These are sports cars that have kept only the front grille compared to the previous model.

Manhart is currently developing new carbon aerodynamic parts such as the hood, front splitter, rear spoiler, and the diffuser.

The standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine will produce 600 hp. By installing the MANHART MHtronik Powerbox, engine power is increased to approximately 620 hp and 750 Nm of torque. Cat-back and OPF-back exhaust systems with twin carbon tailpipes are offered.

For better cornering control, there are lowering springs manufactured by H&R. Both models also feature 21-inch Concave One forged wheels, 265 / 30R21tyres on the front and 305 / 25R21 tires on the rear axle. Rims can have a Manhart gold stripe as an option.

All of the above includes Phase 1. Phase 2 is expected at the end of the year, when Manhart will take the M3 and M4 to the next level.
