To turn the BMW M8 Competition into a true supercar, the Manhart tuner brought the power of the 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine to 823 hp. The maximum torque is also high at 1,050 Nm. The increase in power translates into a 0-100 km / h sprint in 2.6 seconds.

Thus doped, the Manhart MH8 800 model, as it was named, is as fast as a Porsche 911 Turbo S. To accelerate from 0 to 200 km / h, the M8 modified by Manhart needs only 5.7 seconds.

In addition to the engine modifications, Manhart also applied a number of customizations to the body including a number of not very subtle gold accents. The 21-inch wheels have a special design, and the suspension has been modified, the ground clearance being 30 mm lower.

The exhaust system is also passed through the tuner’s hand, and the sound has been amplified. The final discharges are made of carbon fiber.

Together with AutoTopNL, Manhart also released a video in which the brutal acceleration from 0 to 311 km/h can be seen on a stretch of motorway without a speed limit in Germany:

The first thing you notice when looking at this particular BMW X6 M is the changed look of the vehicle. 3D Design has fitted quite a number of parts. Despite having its aspect changed, the added parts seem to integrate flawlessly into the original design. The identity of the vehicle has been kept the same. The modifications help bring out the vehicle’s already existing particularities. The result is a more aggressive and sporty looking vehicle. This BMW X6 M is definitely a vehicle most BMW fans would love to have in their private collection.

This BMW X6 M also sports a set of brand new 23 inch rims courtesy of Manhart. The rims add to the aggressive aspect of the vehicle. The rims are not flashy. They integrate perfectly with the rest of the added improvements, being nicely wrapped in high performance tires. Grip seems to be improved as a direct result of the selected tires. The feel of the car, while not radically different, is improved. The BMW X6 M by 3D Design is definitely a head turner. The addition of an Akrapovic exhaust system could only lead to a better sounding BMW X6 M.

Despite all modifications, the car’s 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 engine was left untouched. The 567HP produced by the engine were considered enough by the folks at 3D Design for this particular build. If you take in account that the BMW X6 M does 0 to 100km/h in just about 4 seconds you will realize that 3D Design did the right thing when it decided not to tweak or modify the engine.

The interior of the vehicle completes the upgrade in a stylish way. The red leather seats are the centerpiece of the BMW X6 M’s interior. The carbon fiber trim contributes to the sporty look of the interior. There is a great sense of cohesion with this particular build. The interior harmoniously fits the exterior of the car. With this project, the people over at 3D Design proved once more that they are car tuning experts.

Well, maybe not as many as in Germany, but this isn’t the point. The point is that, no matter what’s the country, this F10 BMW M5, upgraded by Manhart, could be amongst the first 10 most powerful. All the more in Tunisia.

That’s because its V8 powertrain, displacing 4.4 liters, has been upgraded in an strong manner. It forgot about the old 560 hp and 680 Nm of torque, saying hello to new, mind blowing numbers: 740 hp and 860 Nm!

Something must be wrong…where this extra 180 hp and 180 Nm from? According to the german tuner, the MH5 S Biturbo (that’s its new official name) pulls the extra output, mainly from the Manhart improved software. Then, a carbon fiber intake system restricts less the fresh air, while adding a more personalized sound note. Speaking of the sound, a completely new stainless steel exhaust system, including sport-kats, 4 x 90 mm end pipes and valve control, improves both, the sound and the power.

It’s also a new, fully adjustable suspension kit, made by KW and carefully tuned by Manhart, to best fit the engine’s performance. Sending this tremendous power to the ground takes wide, grippy tires. In front – a 265/30 ZR21 pair of wheels keep the car on track, while in the rear, the wider 305/25 ZR21 stick to the asphalt in the fast corners.

Some body panels, like the bonnet, the trunk lid spoiler, the rear diffuser, the front spoiler and the mirror caps were replaced by new, carbon-fiber made ones. The original color proposed by Manhart was Wrapping Grey. However, the owner didn’t consider it as appropriate, replacing it with a new, gutsy shade of blue, combined with black body elements. Just look at the pictures and decide for yourselves!

Especially the tuned ones, since 2 tones accelerating to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds can be quite a show. It’s the case here. BMW X5 M V8 it’s a terrifying, fast SUV, no doubt about it! It sprints to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and it reaches 250 km/h. That’s not a novelty for us, but it’s always good to remember.

The german tuner Manhart didn’t agree that those numbers are terrifying, so it made some changes, managing to squeeze 125 more horses and 150 Nm more. Now, the 700 hp and 900 Nm X5 can do things of which only real sports cars were capable of. But we already wrote about them here.

Of course, there is always room for more. Manhart can give you the supreme SUV, in form of an 800 hp and 1000 Nm of torque beast. Yes, you read well, but you’ll have to pull out of your wallet 15.111 € to have these values under the pedal.

So, what’s new with the monster? The news is that a video with Manhart MHX5 700 just emerged in the web. It shows the beast from all its angles, in a professional manner. However, it’s not on my taste. I would rather prefer more action and a little engine noise. Sorry, lots of engine noise. But it’s ok even so, as the car’s looks can complete the missing parts… Enjoy the 700 hp Manhart MHX5 700 “au ralenti”!

At the exterior, we see a new yellow finish with carbon fiber parts such as the front spoiler lip, hood, roof and rear diffuser. Manhart also offers new black alloy wheels with contrasting yellow calipers, revised side mirror caps in the same finish and black side strips.

The contrasting exterior look makes the car seem both aggressive and stylish. It is nice to see that the tuner used only two colors instead of going crazy with too complicated combinations. However, the appearance is not all as Manhart also tweaked the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine under the hood.

If the stock model delivers 370 horses, Manhart’s creation is capable to put out 450 horsepower thanks to a series of improvements. To be more precise, the tuner changed the downpipes with better ones, fitted a special sports exhaust system and remapped the ECU.

For now, the MH2 450 kit is under development, with more details and photos to be released closer to the launch. Expect the new BMW M2 by Manhart to be available early next year. Pricing details are also unavailable for now.

Everything you see on this BMW i8 is entirely signed by Manhart, the two-tone orange and black paintjobs beautifully complementing the more aggressive body style kit and new set of blacked-out Manhart wheels.

The new and more aggressive body style is standing out from the crowd with the gloss black kidney grille and the smoked lights, which makes it look even more outstanding and one-of-a-kind. Under the hood, Manhart has not announced any performance figures.

This means that we are inclined to believe that the same hybrid configuration is found. We are dealing here with an I3 15-liter range extender, with 228 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, backed by an electric motor, which adds up 131 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque, the overall power reaching an impressive 357 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque.

In terms of power, the standard 4.4-liter V8 engine delivers now 750 horses and 1,000 Nm of torque. The standard BMW X5 M needs only 4,2 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h before hitting the top speed of 250 km/h.

However, the extra power in Manhart’s model will improve these figures, even though they haven’t released new numbers yet.

At the exterior, buyers will get 23-inch forged alloy wheels, revised bumpers, a black front grille, carbon fiber mirror caps, a sports exhaust and a vented hood.

Last but not least, these two photos show us some interior improvements, namely we see the new sports seats. However, we still have to wait until we get full details from Manhart Racing.

So imagine my disappointment when I saw the BMW i8 the aftermarket specialist brought to the Essen Motor Show.

While the other BMW models have seen some serious kits, the BMW i8 seems to severely lack such a kit. At first look, the one Manhart brought to Essen 2014 held a lot of promise, then you get into it and realize not much has been done to it. Neither from a performance point of view nor aesthetic wise.

Manhart did a great job with the painjob, taking a grey base and applying some yellow accents. These work wonders with the already awesome design of the BMW i8. For a more complete look, they also lowered the stance by 30 mm and added some Manhart wheels. That is pretty much it. The interesting fact about this project is the promise that comes with it: it seems that Manhart plans to mess around with the powerhouse, and this would make them the first tuners to try it.

Now the aftermarket specialist come out with plenty more pictures and some serious information.

The biggest improvement was the engine power bump, which now is capable of delivering some 375 PS and 740 Nm of torque, up from 313 PS and 630 Nm. Decent numbers, but so far, we don’t know how this translates into top speed and acceleration time.

The BMW X4 xDrive35d was also lowered with a new set of springs, a move pretty much standard for this kind of tune. Other than that, we get new wheels which measure 21 inches in diameter. Similar kits were made available by Manhart for the xDrive20i, xDrive28i and xDrive35i versions of the BMW X4.

Manhart is one of them, and they already managed to set up a pretty decent legacy.

Mostly they deal in improving performance of Bimmers, and the latest to join their already vast portfolio is the new BMW X4. Manhart chose the range topping xDrive35d version, as this is the one they wanted to push beyond the limit. Considering they managed to up it to 375 HP and 740 Nm of torque, I’d say they did a good job.

The extra oomph comes thanks to Manhart’s Stage 1 kit they fitted under the hood. In order to control the extra power better, they also installed lowering springs and a new set of wheels. Now all we need to wait for is for Manhart to put this baby through its paces and deliver some acceleration times and new top speed.
