Manhart Supra GR 550 with 550 HP

MANHART Supra GR 550 is a new project of the German tuner, which is considered one of the best in the world when it comes to German cars, but here and there they also upgrade cars of other brands. This time it’s the Toyota GR Supra.

The car is built on the same platform as the BMW Z4, and it is not the first time that Manhart has upgraded the Supra GR model, as we saw a similar project in 2020. However, this time the car is equipped with a carbon bodykit that makes the Supra GR look like the long-speculated high-performance GRMN flagship. These include a new rear wing, new diffuser, front splitter and side skirts with integrated fins. Buyers can also choose optional carbon side mirror housings and taillight covers, as well as a set of black and red decals. The body kit costs 13,500 euros, but the components can be purchased separately.

The biggest change is under the hood where the now turbocharged 3.0-L twin-power turbo engine (B58) delivers 550 hp (404 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. They achieved this by installing a new turbocharger, ARMAspeed carbon intake, radiator, MHtronic module and a stainless steel exhaust system from F1 Exhaust, which comes with an optional downpipe. The body can be lowered thanks to a set of H&R springs or Variant 3 coilover suspension by KW, which further improves handling.

The car is mounted on a set of 20″ Concave One rims wrapped in 255/30 and 295/25 tires, in combination with H&R wheel spacers.

MANHART GER 800 based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic Coupe

If we talk about specialists for tuning BMW cars, the first thing that comes to mind is the German tuner Manhart, who has over 35 years of experience in optimizing cars from this Bavarian manufacturer. Their latest work is based on the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic Coupe, which hit the market four years ago, and is called the MANHART GER 800.

The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic is an outstanding car that, thanks to the carbon-fiber widebody kit (by TopCar Design), got an even sportier look. It is equipped with extended fenders, an extended spoiler in the form of a duck tail, a hood with ventilation openings, a modified standard suspension that allows lowering of 30 millimeters. There’s also a set of yellow decals, which contrast the exposed carbon and matte dark green bodywork. The interior is upgraded with a matching black and yellow MANHART Alcantara leather with matching MANHART floor mats.

The car is mounted on 23″ wheels with satin black finish and yellow trim strips wrapped in 285/35ZR23 and 325/30ZR23 Manhart Concave One tires. MANHART OPF-Delete Sport downpipes with two 300-cell catalytic converters are also on board but are only intended for export as they are not TÜV-approved.

Under the bonnet is a mildly hybridized with an additional electric compressor, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 800 hp (596 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s 188 hp (140 kW) and 111 lb-ft (150 Nm) more torque compared to the factory car. The increase in power was achieved thanks to an additional electric compressor, MANHART turbo upgrade, MHtronik powerbox and exhaust system.

Manhart did not release the price of the upgrade.

Manhart MHX3 650 based on the BMW X3 M Competition

After BMW revealed the new generation of the X3 M Competition, the powerful SUV quickly became the project of many tuners. Among them is the best when it comes to cars from the Bavarian manufacturer, which presented the Manhart MHX3 650 based on the BMW X3 M Competition.

Like most Manhart projects, the MHX3 650 is painted black but without the stripes that we can see on some of their cars. It is equipped with a carbon aerodynamic kit that includes a front spoiler and side skirts with fins, a roof spoiler and a rear diffuser. There are also big bright red calipers on the factory fitted M Compound braking system, MANHART lowering springs from H&R which lower the car by about 30 millimeters and ensure better cornering, stainless steel exhaust with valve control, MANHART sports tailpipes with 200 cellular HJS catalysts and four 100 mm carbon-coated tailpipes. Ceramic coated exhaust pipes are optional.

The interior is also equipped with carbon fiber details such as steering wheel spokes and shift paddles.

When it comes to the powertrain, thanks to the upgrade of the MHtronik auxiliary control unit, the 3.0 liter in-line six cylinder engine now has 650 hp (485 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. As a reminder, the standard X3 M Competition has 510 hp (380 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on 22″ Multispoke wheels wrapped in 255/35ZR22 and 295/30ZR22 tires.
