While we wait with bated breath for BMW to release a
hardcore M2 CS or CSL, a selection of tuning companies have worked their magic
on the German sports car.
One of the most impressive upgrade kits for the M2
comes courtesy of Manhart and is dubbed the MH630. As the name suggests, the
vehicle’s 3.0-liter inline-six engine has been upgraded from 370 hp to 630 PS and 750 Nm.
In a bid to show that the heavily-modified M2 is the
real deal, Manhart recently took to the Nurburgring in the car and completed a
flying lap when the circuit was open to the public.
Due to all the traffic on the track, the MH630’s Bridge
to Gantry time of 7:35 isn’t representative of what the car is capable of.
Despite that, the clip does highlight the BMW’s addictive engine note and its
composure in long, high-speed corners.
