Manhart’s 698 HP MH4 GTR Is Based On The Limited-Run M4 DTM Champion Edition

German tuning company Manhart Performance has just unveiled a modified version of the limited-run BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition.

BMW introduced the M4 DTM Champion Edition in 2016 to celebrate Marco Wittmann claiming the DTM championship. Only 200 examples were buil,t and not only does the Manhart MH4 GTR look more aggressive, but it is also significantly more powerful.

Compared to the standard BMW M4, the DTM Champion Edition features a series of changes to the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six, including a water-injection system that allows it to produce 493 hp and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.

Not satisfied with those figures, Manhart has remapped the ECU and fitted a new intercooler, carbon fiber intake, aluminum charge pipes, race downpipes, and a stainless steel exhaust. These mods result in a total output of 698 hp and 723 lb-ft (980 Nm) of torque. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission has also been modified to ensure it can cope with the added grunt.

Other changes include forged Manhart Concave One wheels that measure 20×9 up front and 20×10.5 at the rear and are wrapped in 255/35 and 295/30 tires respectively. The tuner has also fitted a new front splitter, a towering rear wing and a new carbon fiber diffuser.

Finally, the cabin gets a modified steering wheel clad in Alcantara and carbon fiber, Recaro bucket seats, and various other carbon trims.
