Manhart MH4 GTR based on the BMW M4 DTM Championship Edition

March 16, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

One of the best tuners in the world, the German company Manhart, presented its new work, the Manhart MH4 GTR. The car is based on the M4 DTM Championship Edition (2016), one of the most popular models for tuners when it comes to the BMW M4/M3.

The MH4 GTR is powered by a 3.0-Liter biturbo in-line six-cylinder engine (S55) with 708 hp (520 kW) and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, BMW has 500 hp (368 kW) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. The increase in power was achieved thanks to a remapped ECU and a turbo performance kit that includes a turbo upgrade and the installation of an intercooler by CSF, a carbon intake by ARMAspeed and new MANHART aluminum charge pipes. The performance of the car is not known, but if we consider that the M4 DTM reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, we are confident that the MH4 GTR is a very fast car.

The car is finished in white with numerous carbon add-on parts that give it a sporty look. It is equipped with carbon fiber front spoiler lip, side skirts, mirror caps and rear lip spoiler on the trunk lid, large rear wing, rear diffuser, stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and four 100-millimetre tailpipes. It sits on a set of 20″ Silk Matt Black Concave One wheels wrapped in 255/35 ZR20 front and 295/30 ZR20 rear Michelin Cup 2 tires.

Inside, the Recaro carbon bucket seats and a roll cage were retained, and an Awron display was added. There’s standard air conditioning, parking sensors, auto-dimming mirrors, adaptive LED headlights and navigation.

BMW only produced 200 examples of the M4 DTM, and Manhart did not say what the price of the upgrade package is.

Manhart Formentor CP 500 based on Cupra Formentor VZ5

February 23, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

The German tuner Manhart has shown that it is one of the best in the world, especially when it comes to brands like VW, BMW, Audi or Tesla. Their latest work is the Manhart Formentor CP 500, based on the Cupra Formentor VZ5.

It is a high-performance SUV, and the first photos show that Manhart engineers have created a powerful beast. Under the hood is a 2.5-liter five cylinder engine with 490 hp (360 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the Cupra Formentor VZ5 has 390 hp (287 kW), and the increase in power was achieved thanks to the use of the MHtronik powerbox. Power is sent to all wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The car is finished in black with gold stripes on both sides of the car as well as the entire length of the body. It is equipped with a set of 20-inch black Cocave One rims, a new exhaust system with valve control and dual pipes on both sides that replaces the factory ones, while there are no aerodynamic improvements yet, but that does not mean that there won’t be some in the future.

The company announced that it will soon offer Stage 2, which will include a new intercooler, air intake and a new remapping of the ECU unit, which means more power (at least 600 hp).

MH4 600 based on the BMW M4 Competition

February 9, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

Having previously revealed several BMW models such as the MH3 500, the German tuner once again showed why it is considered one of the best tuners in the world. This time Manhart unveiled the MH4 600 based on the G82 generation BMW M4 Competition.

The MH4 600 is powered by a 3.0-liter biturbo S58 engine with 635 hp (467 kW) and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power compared to the standard M4 Competition with 510 hp (370 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque, thanks to the installation of the MHtronik auxiliary control unit. It is mounted on matt gold bronze 20 and 21 inch Styling 1000 M forged wheels.

The car is finished in black but this time, unlike most other Manhart works, there are no gold stripes on the car. It is equipped with a MANHART stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, four 100 mm tailpipes, distinctive carbon radiator grille inserts, the side wing inserts, the rear diffuser and fender side blades. The offer also includes MANHART downpipes Race without catalytic converters or MANHART downpipes Sport with 300-cell GESI catalytic converters. Inside, the original luxurious interior has been retained.

Just like the original BMW M4 Competition, the tuned MH4 600 will attract the attention of all car enthusiasts, not only BMW fans, and it should be noted that the options are not approved in Germany and are intended for export.
