MH8 800 LIMITED 01/10 based on the F92 M8

The BMW M8 Competition is without doubt one of the most powerful, luxurious and
exclusive models that the sporty luxury class market has to offer. In the front of the
elegant two-door coupé body, which extends to an exterior length of more than 4.80
metres, sits the fabulous, four-litre biturbo V8 S63B44, which also causes a sensation in a
very similar form in its saloon brother, the M5, and the SUV duo, the X5 M and the X6 M.
For a customer for whom the 625 hp and 750 Nm M8 Competition in its standard form
was still too ordinary, MANHART Performance has now converted this example into a
sensational MH8 800.
The model is only produced in an extremely small number of units, as the addition of the
name, LIMITED 01/10 makes clear. The vehicle shown here is the fifth of the ten MH8
800s that have been built. As is customary with MANHART, the car’s new designation
already makes clear what it has to offer in terms of performance, although it even
understates it somewhat: The S63 eight-cylinder boasts 823 hp and 1,070 Nm of
maximum torque. MANHART achieved this with its in-house performance kit in
conjunction with the MANHART turbo upgrade, the MANHART intercooler upgrade, the
MANHART carbon air intake and the complete MANHART stainless steel exhaust system.
The latter culminates in four tailpipes, each 100 millimetres in diameter, complete with
carbon casing. In addition, there are MANHART OPF-Delete replacement pipes made of
stainless steel and race downpipes without catalytic converter, which, however, do not
have TÜV approval and are therefore only suitable for export.
However, MANHART not only improved the performance, but also the appearance: A
suspension upgrade with adjustable KW springs provides more depth and at the same
time optimised driving dynamics. MANHART Spider rims in 10.5×21 and 11.5×21 inch with
275/30ZR21 and 295/30ZR21 tyres provide the road contact. Further highlights are the
black radiator grille and a MANHART carbon package for the bodywork: it includes a
bonnet with GTR air outlets, a front spoiler, side skirts and a rear diffuser. To round things
off, a MANHART decal set, which in this case is quite discreet, is of course not to be
missed. All the more eye-catching, however, is the car’s matt blue paintwork, to which the
coloured accents on the rims are also perfectly matched. Last but not least, the interior is
upgraded with an Alcantara steering wheel including a carbon accent on the lower spoke.
