  • MANHART TM3 510 Tesla Model 3

    The market share of electric cars has been growing unstoppably for years and new model series from all manufacturers are being launched almost incessantly. Tesla is one of the absolute pioneers in the field of electric vehicles. With the Model 3, Elon Musk’s vehicle brand is celebrating impressive sales successes. Among petrolheads, however, electric cars still have a hard time, being considered unemotional and impossible to tune. We at MANHART Performance now prove that this is a misconception.

    With the TM3 510, we now present our refined interpretation of the mid-range electric car from the USA. As usual, the three-digit number in the designation gives an indication of the vehicle’s performance: to be precise, the drive of the hatchback model generates a total output of 377 kW, or 513 hp. However, for once this impressive output is not due to a power increase on our part, but is the standard value, just like the 660 Nm. The TM3 510 is based on the top Model 3 Performance version with two powerful electric motors. An 82 kWh lithium-ion battery is on board as the power storage unit.

    Meanwhile, we have made significant visual improvements: Thanks to a suspension optimisation including MANHART lowering springs by H&R, the Tesla ducks significantly closer to the asphalt. In addition, large-format new wheels sit under the wings: these are MANHART Barracuda rims in 9×21 inch with a Platinum Grey finish. Alternatively, the rim colour can be individually configured. The tyres measure 235/30R21. A carbon front spoiler gives the body of the TM3 510 an even more striking appearance. Added to this is the characteristic MANHART decal set: in this case it is matt grey and red and also gives the Tesla a suggested radiator grille with honeycomb mesh on its closed front apron. To round things off, the rear and rear side windows are dark tinted.

    Last but not least, the braking system and the interior of the model shown also remained in standard condition. However, we can also provide individually configurable upgrades here on request.

  • BMW Manhart MH2 GTR

    “Wait a minute! Haven’t I seen this car before?” This is a question that one or two petrolheads may ask themselves upon seeing the MANHART MH2 GTR. Rightly so, as the family resemblance to the MH4 GTR, based on the M4 DTM Champion Edition, is striking, which MANHART Performance rolled into the limelight last September. So now comes the “little brother”, which in turn is based on a no less high-caliber sports machine.

    The basis is the spearhead of the BMW F87 M2 series, the CS. The specialists from MANHART Performance in Wuppertal have also significantly upgraded this limited-edition, lightweight sports car with both visual and technical upgrades.

    The MH2 GTR attracts attention with its spectacular looks, where the design references the motorsport sibling, the M2 CS racing, complimented with the MANHART carbon rear wing. Pure track flair is also conveyed by the MANHART carbon fiber fenders with striking air outlets.

    MANHART pushes the output of the factory-supplied 450 hp and 550 Nm 3.0 in-line six-cylinder biturbo engine to a whopping 600 hp, which is backed up by a mighty torque mountain of 830 Nm. In addition to a MANHART turbo performance kit and a MANHART intercooler by CSF, including aluminum charge pipes, a MANHART carbon intake by ARMA is also used. The exhaust gases from the twin-turbocharged S55 unit roar through a MANHART stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, which connects to MANHART sports downpipes, with 300-cell catalytic converters (without TÜV, for export only) and flows into four carbon-sheathed 100-mm tailpipes. Finally, the maps were optimized for the new hardware conditions via a MANHART ECU remapping. In order to be able to transmit the power efficiently to the rear wheels, the 7-speed DCU has been equipped with a MANHART transmission upgrade.

    Helping the MH2 GTR achieve even more agility and cornering dynamics are the MANHART Suspension Upgrades by H&R, with in-house tuning as well as the in-house produced, Concave One forged wheels in matte black, which were mounted in 9×20 inches with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres in 255/30ZR20 on the steering axle and 10.5×20 inches with 295/25ZR20 tires on the drive axle.

    MANHART Performance offer optional individually configurable upgrades for the brake system. This is left as standard on the vehicle pictured.

    Rounding off the package, the cockpit has also received some refinements: From the Recaro sports seats, the driver has perfect access to the valance refined with carbon steering wheel spokes from the BMW M Performance program as well as the DKG selector lever upgraded in the same way. A data display integrated into the center console at the position of the left air vent also provides the driver with information on all important engine operating parameters and driving dynamics measured values.

  • Manhart Perfomance – MANHART GR 550 based on Toyota GR Supra

    2020 Toyota GR Supra by Manhart Perfomance

    More than a year has now passed since Toyota, after a long dry spell without a real athlete, revived a real legend in model history: the Supra. For the power specialists at MANHART Performance, the fact that there are BMW engines under the hood of the Toyota sports car was one of the main aspects with which the GR Supra literally suggested a refinement.

    While the specialists from Wuppertal unveiled an optimized version of the Japanese two-door model for the first time about six months ago with the GR 450, they are now adding another: with the MANHART GR 550. As usual, the numbers in the designations stand for the performance: The three-liter in-line six-cylinder (B58) in its new tuning stage consequently generates a whopping 550 PS, which means an increase of a remarkable 210 PS compared to the standard performance! The maximum torque increases at the same time to up to 770 Nm (series: 500 Nm). The TTE 685 turbocharger upgrade is primarily responsible for this growth. A more powerful MANHART radiator by Wagner Tuning was also installed under the hood. In addition, there is a MANHART exhaust system by FI Exhaust, which leaves a lasting impression with its brute sound and connects to the engine via a sports downpipe by Wagner Tuning, including a 200-cells catalytic converter.

    In keeping with its mighty power, the MANHART GR 550 has a sensational, sporty, dynamic look: The in-house Concave One rims come with a satin black finish and classic design, with six double spokes and fill the wheel arches in the dimensions 9×20 and 10.5×20 inch, with tires 255/30 ZR20 and 295/25 ZR20. They really look perfect. The matte foiling in MANHART-typical golden yellow, which is provided with decorative stripes in black and fine red accent lines, forms a strong contrast. For even more visual sharpness and overtaking prestige, the Supra also has a front spoiler lip by AC Schnitzer. And to top it off, last but not least – for reasons of appearance and driving dynamics – a lowering of the suspension should not be missed: The suspension upgrade was realized together with H&R.

  • MANHART F350 – small motorsport track toy in a British racing green outfit

    2020 Mini F3501

    The motorsport tradition in Great Britain is huge. The United Kingdom has produced some of the World’s most prestigious race tracks, such as Brands Hatch and of course Silverstone, as well as many successful drivers and race cars. The characteristic and downright legendary paint finish for the latter developed into the color “British Racing Green”. In reminiscence of past glorious motorsport successes, MANHART Performance has now chosen exactly this color to be featured on the latest model of the MANHART F350 based on the MINI John Cooper Works GP.

    The typical MANHART racing and decorative stripes, which are distributed over the body, are in a strong red color, creating a high-contrast look that further enhances the already considerably eye-catching factor of the MINI, due to its extroverted body kit. The foil design was realized by the Dutch specialists at JD Customs. The same color combination is also used for the bracing strut in the rear of the F350. Further visual highlights are provided by the matte black, MANHART Concave One alloy wheels with red accent lines, which are mounted on the axles of the power dwarf in the dimensions 8.5×19 inch with 235/30 ZR19 tires.

    By the way: The new owner of the MANHART F350 shown here can be sure of the absolute exclusivity of his vehicle. This is because while MANHART Performance can choose from countless color combinations, each color scheme realized will only exist exactly once – including the one in British Racing Green and Red.

    Furthermore, the extremely sporty appearance is by no means out of place here, because after all, MANHART expertly provided a performance boost for the turbocharged, B48 four-cylinder engine in the front of the JCW GP, which already provides 306 hp and 450 Nm in series production: 350 hp and 530 Nm maximum torque. The MANHART F350 is therefore extremely powerful. An ECU remapping by the Dutch MINI specialists from Beek Auto Racing as well as a MANHART intercooler from Airtec is responsible for the power increase. To round off the range, MANHART is offering a gasoline particle filter replacement pipe and a cat-back exhaust system with four-stage flap control manufactured at Remus.

    On the chassis side, F350 customers are spoilt with a choice: MANHART Performance offers either lowered springs, which lower the body by 20 millimeters at the front and 15 millimeters at the rear and has been installed on the vehicle shown here, or fully adjustable coil overs in three versions – each from AST Suspension in the Netherlands.

    MANHART worked closely with Beek Auto Racing from the Netherlands in the conversion of the John Cooper Works GP to the F350. Among other things, Beek Auto Racing runs MINIspeed.eu, one of Europe’s largest webshops specializing in MINI. Thanks to this cooperation, MANHART will in the future be able to offer numerous other tuning components for the JCW GP on request.

    All further facts as well as price and delivery information can be obtained at www.manhart-performance.de or directly from the MANHART Performance sales team. More information about the complete range of Beek Auto Racing products for the MINI JCW GP can be found at the webshop www.MINIspeed.eu. The webshop offers more than 1000 different products for the entire MINI model range.

  • MANHART team presents the MH4 550: a thunder in red and white!

    2018 MANHART BMW MH550MANHART Performance has finally made a step forward. As you might remember, the tuning team has already revealed an impressive MH4 550, based on the BMW M4 F82 and now the time is right to showcase its latest project: MH4 550. Taking technology and refinement even further, we do witnes a rather incredible machine.

    2018 MANHART BMW MH550

    We will get straightforward to the drivetrain system. To be honest, the power unit is not that different from the predecessor model: a 3.0-liter S55 Biturbo with additional 119hp and comprehensive software remapping. This means that the MH4 produces the massive 550hp and 82Nm of torue. Sweet, right?

    2018 MANHART BMW MH550

    Furthermore, MH4 benefits from new and exclusive exhaust system with catless downpipe, new MANHART muffler and a KW variant 3 coilover suspension. This system allows the vehicle to be lowered as possible and at the same time ensures stability and confidence even in the most challenging turns and track curves.

    In terms of exterior styling, MANHART has also scored points. The white body is elegantly enhanced by familiar bright red stripes and red M-Performance wheels. Also, both front spoiler and rear diffuser are made of glossy carbon and resemble the new carbon-fiber mirror caps. Furthermore, MANHART has included a massive carbon-fiber rear spoiler and super-cool read side blades. Neat!

    2018 MANHART BMW MH550

    Of course, in MANHART manner, the interior won’t let anyone down either. The red roll cage is placed where the rear seats once were and resemble the exterior color scheme. Of course, there is no clue form the original front seats – they are replaced by Recaro bucket seats and wrapped in red leather. There is also a special M-Performance alcantara steering wheel with shift indicators and carbon covers. Sweet, isn’t it?

  • Meet Manhart’s MHX5 700 Project Based on the X5 M F85

    MHX5 700 Front viewThis special project called MHX5 700 is based on BMW’s X5 M F85 model. We are definitely satisfied what Manhart Performance has achieved with it and therefore we impatiently wanted to share it with you. Although we have seen even stronger X5s by he same tuning company (visit the link below for more information), this one here is surely one-off because it also adds some other cool equipment features.

    SEE ALSO: Manhart MHX5 750 Promised to be Faster than BMW X5M F85 

    Engine Optimization

    The current X5 M F85-series is factory-fitted with the 4.4 liter V8 engine, which produces 575 hp (423 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) as a standard. These numbers weren’t enough for the tuner and therefore it felt the urge to introduce the MHX5 700 program to this BMW model.

    The modification began after installing in-house made downpipes and stainless steel sport mufflers with valve control and 100-millimeter twin tailpipes. Then the modification of the engine software began, thus making the datasheet show full 700 hp (515 kW) at 6500 RPM and a brute torque of 900 Nm (665 lb-ft) at 5700 revs.

    After the maximum speed limiter was removed, the SUV can even show-off with beefy 315 km/h into the airstream. And if you aren’t keen on that much power, Manhart is offering a “small” Power Stage with 640 hp (471 kW).

    Looking Good or Better?

    MHX5 700 Rear View

    In terms of exterior appearance there hasn’t been done much. But it is in fact sufficient. First we should pay attention to the custom-built foil coverage that comes in Grey Matte. And then we should look lower and spot the 10.5×22 and 11,5×22 inches BBS SV rims. They were fitted with Vredestein Ultrac Vorti high performance tires dimensioning 295/30ZR22 front and 335/25ZR22 rear.

    In order to sit lower to the ground, the modified X5 M received H&R lowering springs. They bring it 35mm closer to the ground but also maximize its cornering performance. Even better, there is no loss of the offered comfort.

    Inside there is a single change and it includes a new extra AWRON display, which informs the driver about all important MHX5 700 operating parameters and driving dynamics values.

    So, which one is your favorite tuning from today?

  • Manhart MHX5 750 Promised to be Faster than BMW X5M F85

    Despite the fact that Manhart Performance are still being very secretive about their upcoming MHX5 750, they have decided to unveil two images of the model just to keep our attention and interest alive.

    The recently – developed Manhart MHX5 750 is based on the BMW X5M F85 and will be fitted with a stylishly designed exterior. The rigid and somehow serous bodylook suggests that this car is definitely made for grownups. The masculine appeal of the MHX5 750 is underscored by a blacked out grille, bonnet made of carbon fiber and front spoiler. In addition to this, carbon fiber mirror caps can be spotted too. For an extra tone of dynamism, there is a sporty exhaust system, 23 – inch forged alloys and an impressive rear diffuser.

    Power is provided by the well – known twin – turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. It is going to be tweaked so that it can trigger 750 PS (551 kW) and 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of maximum torque. Even though the company refused to share any performance specifications for now, the model is expected to be much faster than the BMW X5 M. The latter is able to speed up from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in 4.2 seconds before hitting a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). The X5 M arrives with 567 HP (423 kW), between 6000 and 6500 rpm.

    More information about the Manhart MHX5 750 is yet to be revealed, so stay tuned!

  • Manhart Racing BMW X4 F26 – 375HP and 740Nm

    Manhart Racing has unveiled their tuning package for the all-new BMW X4 xDrive35d. The compact SAC (Sports Activity Coupe) comes with a significant power boost and improved stance.

    The 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged diesel originally produces – 313HP (230 kW) and 630Nm (465 lb-ft) of torque. The performance package boosts the engine to 375HP (276 kW) and 740Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque, which is exactly the same torque like the three-turbocharged 3.0 liter diesel found in M50d models.

    2014 BMW X4 xDrive35d does 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, so the new time will be around 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). However, Manhart didn’t release any official performance data.

    The ride height is lowered thanks to a set of sport springs and the stance is further improved by huge Concave One 21“ wheels finished in silver or black.

    BMW has recently announced the new X4, which is available only with diesel engines – xDrive20d; xDrive30d and xDrive35d. The entry-level model is available from £36,590 OTR. The all-new 2014 X4 combines all unique features of the BMW X family with the stylish elegance of a classical coupe. For now the only rival of the model is the recently unveiled Porsche Macan.

  • Manhart MH2 Clubsport Based On BMW M235i Coupe

    Manhart-BMW-M235i-Coupe-MH2-Clubsport-TUMBManhart BMW M235i Coupe MH2 Clubsport does not produce 326 horsepower as its production M235i Coupe sibling. And in fact it has nothing to do with it. This of course is because the specialists at Manhart did their work very well. Let’s review what they have done to create this impressive tuning. The brand new production BMW M235i Coupe is driven by 326 hp (240 kW) six-cylinder turbo, which delivers 450 Nm (333 lb-ft). Via a performance boost using an additional process control system, the MH2 is now dragged by almost 430 horsepower (316 kW) and a maximum torque of 592 Nm (437 lb-ft).

    Parallel to this, Manhart also added bigger charging air intercooler for better cooling and a special sport exhaust system with downpipe and 200-cell sports catalyzers. In addition, the specialists removed the factory-fitted Vmax block, thus helping the vehicle move beyond the 300 kph.

    Moreover, Manhart Performance also installed axle back exhaust with two round 90-millimeter stainless steel tailpipes and reinforced sports clutch. The perfectly aligned chassis relies on the 3-fold adjustable Club sport coilover kit including support bearings and its own alignment for the MH2 Clubsport.

    MH2 Clubsport rides on Concave One rims of the size 8.5×19 inches fitted with 225/35ZR19 tires at the front and 9.5×19 inches with 255/30ZR19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires at the rear. For optimum braking power, the designers added serial system on the front axle with the 6-piston fixed calipers with disks of size 350×34 mm and Pagid sports brake pads and steel flex lines. There are also Pagid brake pads and steel flex lines on the rear axle.

    Inside, one can see that there is no rear bench. At the front, there is a colored Recaro Pole Position full-shell seat with the 4-point suspender belts. The driver’s space is decorated with a special handbrake handle, a gear lever knob and an aluminum pedal lining from the BMW Performance program.

    An additional display was installed in the center console in place of the left ventilation nozzle. It shows all important engine parameters such as charging air pressure, oil pressure, intake temperature and oil temperature.

    Manhart also relies strongly on the sportiness of the external shell of MH2 Clubsport. Here the tuners added parts which improve the aerodynamics: front spoiler, rear diffuser and the rear spoiler made of carbon. The carbon mirror covers perfectly contrast the yellow special wrap.
