MANHART MHX7 650

Pure luxury in SUV guise – that’s probably the best way to describe the BMW X7 (G07).
And in the top version, the M50i, the XL SUV weighing 2.5 tonnes and measuring 5.15
metres in length, also boasts astonishing driving dynamics. The BMW specialists at
MANHART Performance have now underlined the latter, both technically and visually – by
transforming the X7 M50i into the MANHART MHX7 650.
The MANHART technicians push the 4.4-litre bi-turbo V8 of the X7 topline, which already
generates 530 hp and 750 Nm at the factory, to a mighty 650 hp by installing their inhouse
MHtronik auxiliary control unit.
The torque mountain of the twin-turbocharged eight horsepowerengine grows in parallel to up to 920 Nm.
In addition to the electronic tuning, MANHART Performance installed a sports exhaust system with valve control, which ends with four carbon-fiber tailpipes.
The standard OPFs have been removed. But speaking of carbon: the exterior parts installed by MANHART are made of the superlight high-tech composite material – as the characteristic shimmer of their clear-coated
fibre fabric reveals: the new carbon front spoiler with strikingly shaped winglets quotes
motorsport just as much as the visually matching rear diffuser; furthermore, the exterior
mirror housings are made of carbon. Almost obligatory for a MANHART vehicle is the
golden decal set – seen here on a matt black vinyl background.
Also generously accentuated in gold are the satin black MANHART Classic Line rims: The
front of the interlocking Y-spokes shine in the colour of the popular precious metal. The
11×23-inch MANHART rims are fitted all round with XL tyres sizing 295/35R23.
The ground clearance of the SUV, which is equipped with air suspension ex works, was
lowered by around 25 millimetres by means of new coupling rods.
