From the factory, the BMW M2 CS is a mighty sports car that ticks just about every box imaginable. However, Manhart thought it could make the car even more impressive and has just unveiled its potent MH2 GTR.
The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged
six-cylinder of the M2 CS delivers 444 hp and 550 Nm of torque as
standard but thanks to a new turbocharger, intercooler, aluminum charge pipes,
a Manhart carbon fiber intake, stainless steel exhaust system, sports
downpipes, and 300-cell catalytic converters, the MH2 GT2 delivers 592 hp.
Manhart has also remapped the ECU and upgraded the seven-speed dual-clutch
transmission.
To ensure the upgraded M2 CS can handle
just as well as it goes in a straight-line, it has been equipped with Concave
One forged wheels finished in matte black and measuring 20×9 at the front and
20×10.5 at the rear with 255/30 and 295/25 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
respectively. Various H&R parts have also been used to upgrade the suspension.
The exterior of the car shares a
resemblance to the BMW M2 CS Racing and includes a motorsport-inspired livery
with BMW M’s trademark colors. Various aerodynamic modifications have also been
made, including the fitment of a new carbon fiber splitter, carbon fiber flics
on the skirts, and a striking carbon fiber rear wing. Manhart’s modifications
continue in the cabin with new Recaro sports seats, a BMW M Performance
steering wheel, and a small data display positioned where one of the air vents
ordinarily sits.
