  • Manhart refines BMW M3 Coupe

    BMW E92 M3 is originally powered by a monstrous naturally aspirated 4.0 liter V8 delivering 420hp. Obviously that is not enough to compete against mighty Porsche 997 Turbo.

    The Manhart M3 Coupe is powered the powerful V10, which originally is developed by BMW AG for M5 and M6 cars. On the top of this, after a slight tuning the 5.0 liter develops 550 hp and the Coupe becomes not only more powerful than Porsche Turbo, but also by its larger brother, the GT2 with 530 hp.

    All power of Manhart M3C is put on the road through the 7-speed SMG transmission and the differential with up to 100 percent lock, which are taken directly from M5.

    The curb weight of M3C is only 1550kg and with all that power, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and the top speed is a staggering 344 km/h ( almost 214 mph). This car is second after the fastest G-Power M6 Hurricane CS, which achieved 370 km/h.

    The suspension comes from Manhart Racing and includes Bilstein PSS10-Coilovers in combination with the classically beautiful BBS Challenge R-wheels in dimensions 9Jx20” ET20 with 245/30 ZR20 at the front and 10.5Jx20” ET20 with 295/25 ZR20 at the rear.

    M3 E92 received new front and rear spoiler, a diffuser, a roof spoiler, a Front sheet cover and an air collector. Of course, everything is made from Carbon for maximum strength and weight reduction.
