Based on the BMW M2 CS, the Manhart MH2 GTR is the little brother to the MH4 GTR and gets a whopping 592bhp from its 3.0-litre biturbo straight-six engine.
It’s pretty striking, the MH2 GTR, isn’t it? Donned in BMW M decals and nods to Manhart and various other brands, there’s no mistaking that this BMW M2 CS is no ordinary sports car. New features include a splitter, carbon fibre fenders, carbon fibre rear wing and new Concave One forged wheels by Manhart.
It’s under the bonnet where things get interesting, though, thanks to a new Manhart turbo kit, intercooler (by CSF), aluminium charge pipes, a carbon fibre intake and Manhart sports downpipes and stainless-steel exhaust. With a bit of ECU fettling, power is now at an incredible 592hp with 612lb ft of torque. In order to deal with the extra torque, the transmission has also received a Manhart makeover.
To match the performance and looks together, Manhart opted for a suspension upgrade from H&R that drops the ride height and increases cornering dynamics. Wrapped around those 20inch Manhart wheels are 255mm wide Michelin Cup 2 tyres at the front and 295mm wide at the rear.
Inside the changes continue with Recaro sports seats, a carbon fibre steering wheel from BMW M Performance and data display in placement of one of the air vents in the centre.
Want the full performance package without the exterior or interior upgrades? You’ll need to cough up a cool €22,500, roughly £19,800… To transform your CS into the Manhart MH2 GTR pictured above? Try €40,000 or £35,200!
