German BMW tuning specialist Manhart Racing last appeared on our radar with its enviable 650xi Gran Coupe project, and has popped up again with this aftermarket program for the F10-generation BMW M5, complete with aero kit, wheels, engine and suspension upgrades. The aerodynamic kit consists of a new front spoiler, hood with integrated GTR air intakes and a rear diffuser and spoiler. The sports sedan was then wrapped in matte-grey metallic and given decorative MHR stripes. 21-inch three-part ADV.1 wheels complete the exterior mods.
Performance upgrades include a custom carbon air intake system and sports silencer with two 90mm stainless-steel twin tailpipes complete with valve control. The combined effect of these mods to the 4.4-liter V8 is a bump in output to 646 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque, up from 560 and 502. That translates to a top speed of 196 mph, which is better handled by a KW Clubsport fully adjustable suspension and a performance-optimized racing drive-shaft.
