Manhart CRE 700 based on Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance

In 2023, Mercedes introduced a new generation of C-Class that no longer uses a V8 but a more powerful plug-in hybrid four-cylinder engine, without a distinctive sound, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. It is an impressive car with racing technology that the German tuner Manhart took to a higher level with the project called MANHART CRE 700.

The CRE 700 is painted black, which is standard for most Manhart projects, with a wide gray and thin red stripe running from the front fascia over the hood and roof to the rear. It is equipped with Manhart lowering springs by H&R that lower the body by approximately 20 millimeters, new exhaust system with sports downpipe, MHtronic module, 300-cell catalytic converters, 20″ rims with red details wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 ront and 275/35 ZR20 rear Michelin tires.

Inside, the interior of the standard C 63 S E Performance is retained. The dark cabin is still adorned with sports seats, red seat belts and carbon fiber accents.

When it comes to the powertrain, the CRE 700 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor for a total of 725 hp (541 kW) and 826 lb-ft (1,120 Nm) of torque. That’s more than the 671 hp (500 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque available in the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. Power is sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Manhart could continue to work on the plug-in hybrid model and potentially expand the range of tuning options in the future, of course, depending on demand.

Manhart carbon equipment kits for BMW X5M and X6M

Manhart is one of the world’s best tuners, especially when it comes to BMW models. This time, the German tuning company has prepared carbon equipment kits for BMW SUV models X5M and X6M. These are refreshed editions that arrived on the market last year, and which, thanks to Manhart, now look better and have more power.

SUVs from the Bavarian manufacturer received more aggressive looking hoods, a front spoiler, inserts in the middle section and on the sides of the front bumper, details of the rear bumper, two spoilers one each on the roof and tailgate, as well as accessories for the fenders and rear bumper , and sports thresholds.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard X5M is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine making 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Now thanks to improvements, this model has a whopping 800 hp (596 kW).

Carbon parts not only improve the appearance, but also improve aerodynamics and reduce the weight of the model. Customers can attach the components with adhesives or screws.

MANHART MH2 560 based on BMW M2 G87

At the end of 2022, BMW premiered the BMW M2 G87 as the last generation of this model with ICE. Now, 15 months later, the German tuner Manhart has introduced its first project based on this model, the MANHART MH2 560.

Manhart finished the car in a traditional black color with a decal set in matte gray/blue that goes from the front mask over the hood and roof to the rear spoiler. There are blue details on the front splitter, front grille, front air intakes, side skirts, around the rear exhaust pipes and on the rear spoiler.

Also, Manhart equipped the car with carbon body parts that include hood, kidney grilles, front bumper inserts, Alpha-N front spoiler lip, side skirts, spoiler lip on the trunk and an Alpha-N carbon rear diffuser. Of course, there are also M Performance mirror caps. Additional equipment includes Sport Downpipes with HJS catalytic converters with ECE certification, MANHART stainless steel exhaust system with valve control function, four matte black 100-millimeter tailpipes, and Variant 4 coilover suspension by KW Suspensions. Optionally, customers can order Race Downpipes and OPF-Delete replacement pipes with 200-cell catalytic converters and OPF/GPF Deleters, as well as a set of MANHART coil-over springs by KW Suspensions.

Inside, the M Sport seats, curved display on the instrument panel, with two screens of 12.3 and 14.9 inches through which the driver can adjust various vehicle systems, such as the chassis, steering, braking and M traction control, have been retained. Added MANHART floor mats and plenty of carbon.

When it comes to the powertrain, the MH2 560 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 engine with 560 hp (418 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard M2 has 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The increase in power was achieved thanks to the MANHART MHtronik control unit. The car is mounted on 21″ Concave One alloy wheels in diamond-polished finish wrapped in 275/25ZR21 and 295/25ZR21. 20″ wheels with 265/30ZR20 at the front and 285/30ZR20 tires are optionally available.
