Manhart Performance has released the first details
about its upcoming tuning program for the BMW M5. Tentatively known as the MH5
800 Concept, the rendering suggests the model will be equipped with a blacked
out grille, a ventilated hood, and aftermarket alloy wheels. The super sedan
has also been equipped with a front splitter and what appears to be carbon
fiber mirror caps. Rounding out the changes are a trunk-mounted spoiler, yellow
accents, and a Manhart Performance logo on the hood.
The company declined to detail the tuning program
but the name suggest the car's 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine will be
upgraded to produce 800 PS. This is an increase of 200 PS and
it should enable the car to easily out gun the standard model which rockets
from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of
up to 305 km/h.
There's no word on when we can expect a
production version but the 2018 M5 will be launched next spring and German
pricing starts at € 117,900 (US$ 140,021).
