777 HP Manhart MH5 GTR Is Based On BMW M5 CS

Manhart launched the MH5 800 tuning package for the BMW M5 just a few weeks ago, but now the German tuner has unveiled the MH5 GTR, which is based on the M5 CS. Interestingly, the model is not available as a tuning kit for M5 CS owners, since the firm describes it on their webpage as a one-off.

MH5 GTR is characterized visually by a silky dark blue “Moonlight” wrap and a pair of grey Manhart decals. For a heavier look, the tuner removed all gold highlights from the factory-spec BMW M5 CS, substituting them with either silvery grills or black side gills and badging.

The racing-inspired yellow LEDs in the front, as well as all of the carbon-fiber aero components, were preserved.
275/30ZR21 and 295/30ZR21 tires are mounted on forged 21-inch alloy wheels with extra spacers in the front axle. Optional quadruple carbon tailpipes with a diameter of 102 mm each, courtesy of a unique stainless steel cat-back exhaust with valve control, may also be found at the rear.

Manhart kept things simple inside though, owing to the M5 CS's already noteworthy cabin. The Manhart logo on the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel is the only variation we could notice. Aside from that, the black leather seating, red stitching, and red highlights on the carbon-fiber bucket seats distinguish this particular model.

The original M5 CS's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 generates 627-hp (468 kW / 636 PS) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque, but Manhart engineers were able to obtain even more power. The motor now generates 777-hp (580 kW / 788 PS) and 935 Nm (690 lb-ft) of torque owing to the inclusion of the MHtronic powertrain and the Manhart carbon air intake.

While this is a significant increase, the statistics are somewhat less striking than the MH5 800's 804-hp (599 kW / 815 PS) and 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft) torque. Because of the more comprehensive upgrades, such as the turbo power kit, intercooler, and exhaust, as well as the carbon intake and ECU remapping, this variant is more forceful.

Although BMW M5 CS is already the most concentrated form of the 5-Series, Manhart decided to tinker with the suspension. The manufacturer fitted KW height-adjustable coil springs to the MH5 GTR, which are believed to improve control.

The MH5 GTR will be an uncommon sight on the streets because it is a one-of-a-kind vehicle. Manhart hasn't revealed the pricing of this model, but we expect it to be more expensive than the regular M5 CS, which starts at $142,000 in the US market. The modified vehicle will be displayed with the MH4 GTR and another surprise version that will be revealed soon at the IAA Mobility 2021.
