BMW:

German tuning company G-POWER has gotten its hands on the BMW M2 CS, introducing the G2M CS Bi-Turbo. The M2 CS is based on the F87 M2 from BMW, and while it may be the smallest official M car it still packs a huge punch even in its most standard form.

In fact, the standard model’s three-liter bi-turbo inline-six engine produces 450 HP and 550Nm of torque. However, this wasn’t enough for G-POWER, which has developed four tuning stages for the M2 CS that sees a power increase of almost 50 percent in its top spec, now delivering 660 HP and 800Nm in its most potent form.

The impressive figures are made possible thanks to the GP-660 performance software upgrade and hardware updates, introducing new sport downpipes that reduce the exhaust backpressure, plus GP-660 injectors, a locking device for the crankshaft central screw, a “GP DEEPTONE” exhaust, and the GP-700 turbocharger upgrade, the latter of which is in fact a supercharger.

Following on from this, G-POWER offers a tune delivering 570 HP and 720Nm, as well as one producing 540 HP and 680Nm. Its tamest tune is still incredibly impressive for a car this size, offering 500 HP and 650Nm of torque. No matter which tune you opt for, G-POWER is able to remove the V-max of the BMW M2 CS and it can also change a number of stock manufacturer systems, such as the transmission software.

Last but by no means least is G-POWER’s range of rims, serving up its HURRICANE RR forged wheels and the new HURRICANE RS forged wheels for the M2 CS.

Carrying a hefty 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, the 2022 CS variant is not only more powerful than the current M5 Competition model but also significantly lighter. The engine can push a staggering 627 horsepower, 10 horsepower above its sibling, and weighs 230 pounds less thanks to a whole host of carbon fiber bodywork, which translates to a five percent decrease in weight. Combined together, the new specs can churn out a 0-60 mph time of just 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph.

On the inside, the CS comes in a standard four-passenger configuration but all seats have been swapped out with M carbon sports seats up front and bucket seats in the back, emphasizing the car’s performance-driven design. All four are heated and power-adjustable and feature a map of the Nürburgring Nordschleife track embroidered on the headrests.

BMW will begin deliveries for the M5 CS in the second half of this year, and prices start at $142,995 USD. Unfortunately, the German automaker says it’ll only be producing this model for a year, so those interested should definitely act fast.There’s no slowing down MANHART as the German automotive customizer continues to deliver incredibly powerful tunes to already impressive cars, and the latest in its line-up is the MANHART MHX5 800 — simply put, an 823 HP take on the BMW X5 MCompetition.

In standard form, the X5 M Competition produces 616 HP and 553 lb-ft of torque from its 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. However, MANHART thought this wasn’t enough, so it’s added a new turbo kit, an intercooler, and its own MHtronik unit and ECU remap to make the beast of an engine produce a whopping 797 lb-ft of torque to go alongside that aforementioned horsepower figure.

While no information has been divulged on the 0-62 MPH time, it’s safe to assume that the SUV will shift a bit quicker than the stock 3.8 second time. Additionally, no information has been released on the top speed, but it should achieve at least 180 MPH given that your X5 M Competiton is equipped with the optional M Driver’s Package, otherwise it will be limited to 155 MPH.

All around you’ll find MANHART elements, most notably a stainless steel rear muffler with a valve control function that houses four 100mm tailpipes that can be finished in carbon or ceramic coatings. There’s also a Wuppertal suspension overhaul that lowers the car by 30mm, making it even more menacing, as well as a set of MANHART Concave One forged rims measuring 10.5×22 inches.

In terms of the body, MANHART has added a heavily vented hood alongside a new front spoiler, rear diffuser and two-piece side skirts, as well as carbon fiber-covered wing mirrors and more sporting touches all around. Inside, you’ll find a fully customizable interior centered around the tuning company’s carbon fiber steering wheel spokes and shift paddles.
