The name “MH2 450” suggests that it is a tuned version of the BMW M2 (G87) – but that is only half the truth. The basis of this coupé is not the M2, but the M240i (G42).
With the model name MH2 450, the tuner Manhart Performance delivers a version of the Munich coupé that is trimmed for performance and appearance. The standard output of the M240i is 374 hp, but thanks to performance increase it goes to M2 level.
MANHART MH2 450
The heart of the MH2 450 is the B58 inline six-cylinder, which is equipped with a turbocharger as standard. With the help of the MHtronik additional control Manhart increases the performance to strong 440 PS and the maximum Torque even up to 600 Nm. The sound is also enhanced by a GRAIL rear silencer with valve function and four fat 100 mm tailpipes.
And if you like it even more extreme, you can go for more power levels (Stage 2 or 3) to get even more power out of the six-cylinder. The brakes on the vehicle in the pictures remained in the standard condition, but various Upgrades is possible.
Lowering springs or coilovers
And to improve roadholding, Manhart has two options for the Suspension ready: Either Lowering springs by H&R or a coilover Variant 4 by KW. Both provide a significantly improved road holding and a sportier look by lowering the body. And the lowering also allows the installed MANHART Concave One Alus in glossy white perfectly under the Fenders to stand.
The rims measure front 9 × 20 in and at the back there are tight 10,5 × 20 in. They are also equipped with tires of size 245/30ZR20 front and 285/25ZR20 rear And if you like, you can Rim color configure individually. The Body kit of the MH2 450 consists of carbon parts: front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear spoiler give the coupe a more aggressive style.
And a typical ManhartDecor set rounds off the exterior in style. In the Interior Manhart also focuses on tuning accents. The newly upholstered Sport steering wheel made of Leather and Alcantara with black painted spokes. The Carbon shift paddles give the cabin an additional sporty touch and make the driving experience even sportier. Photo credit / Source: Manhart Performance
