December 2022 was the moment when BMW presented the last edition of the M2 model with ICE. We didn’t have to wait that long to see the first upgrades based on this car. The last of them is the work of the German tuner company Alpha-N Performance, which presented its latest work ‘Project Silver’ based on the new generation BMW M2.

They found inspiration in the M3 CSL (E46) and M4 CSL models, and the car is equipped with a lot of carbon components such as a trunk lid with an integrated ducktail spoiler, a front bumper with larger air flow openings for better cooling of the engine and brakes, and Öhlins adjustable suspension. It is mounted on a set of 20 and 21-inch Proline wheels.

The BMW M2 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-6 engine with 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the current M4 model. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic technology. Owners will be able to choose a six-speed manual transmission as an option. It reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with the automatic transmission or 4.1 if the manual transmission is used. BMW has electronically limited the top speed to 155 mph (250 km/h), but this can be increased to 177 mph (285 km/h) with the optional M Driver’s Package.

The second version is finished in dark green, inspired by the BMW M3 GT. It is equipped with a rear spoiler, a carbon hood, an adjustable front spoiler, and air vents on the fenders, like those on racing cars. It is mounted on 20 and 21-inch Edelweiss rims. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder engine with 460 hp (338 kW).

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.
