Manhart Performance has made a habit of taking performance BMWs and turning them up to 11. You can see previous example of this by clicking here. Now the German company has turned its attention to the recently introduced BMW M3 Touring to create the Manhart MH3 800 Touring.

Speedy Stationwagon

The Manhart MH3 800 Touring is based on the already powerful BMW M3 Touring which has 390 kW at its disposal. Manhart uses the S58 base engine, but carries out a number of changes to increase power and torque to ridiculous levels. Forged pistons, new intercooler, a carbon-fibre intake, and new downpipes along with a comprehensive ECU remap are among the changes. As a result the Manhart MH3 800 Touring produces 630 kW of power and a whopping 1 090 N.m of torque. Manhart has upgraded the eight-speed automatic transmission to handle the additional twist effort.

More Aggro

The increased power is alluded to by a new body kit of Manhart’s own design. The changes include a new front bumper, spoiler and massively vented bonnet. The Touring has a more hunkered down appearance thanks to an adjustable coilover suspension set-up. Additionally there are multi-spoke alloys that measure 20 inches up front and 21 at the rear. The wheels are contrasting gold to the subdued black paintwork, the combination is a Manhart signature.
