If you're one of those looking at the BMW M8 Competition's technical sheet and turning up your nose at the announced 625 hp, then the Manhattan MH8 800 was made with people like you in mind.
Compared to the M8 Competition, the MH8 800 not only has more power but also comes with an even more aggressive and exclusive look.
Starting with its aesthetics, in addition to the gold stripes, black paint and new 21” wheels, the Manhart MH8 800 also received a front apron, a carbon fiber diffuser and an interior featuring carbon fiber applications.
And the potency?
Obviously, the most interesting part of the work carried out by Manhart appears under the bonnet and the chosen name, MH8 800, gives a clue as to the amount of horses that hide under it.

There, the German tuning company managed to make the V8 biturbo with 4.4 l (S63) start to charge 823 hp and 1050 Nm , values considerably higher than the 625 hp and 750 Nm of origin.
And how did Manhart achieve this power boost? "Simple". It installed a new turbo, a new intercooler and carried out a software review.
With an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the Manhart MH8 800 reaches 100 km/h in 2.6s, goes from 100 to 200 km/h in 5.7s and reaches a top speed of 311 km/h.
As a comparison, the series M8 Competition announces 3.2s from 0-100 km/h, and 305 km/h (if we opt for the M Driver Package). For the 100-200 km/h it takes around seven seconds, according to some tests carried out.
Finally, still in the field of changes, the MH8 800 also received a new exhaust system (which optionally can have carbon fiber or ceramic tips), KW springs that lowered the suspension by 30 mm and carbon-ceramic brakes.
