Manhart’s ‘MH2 700 II’ is a 738bhp BMW M2 with a massive rear wing

This G87 M2 looks very serious. Dubbed the ‘MH2 700 II’ and offered by Manhart (presumably to take on the HP DeskJet 2810e), it’s a carbon-bodied menace with a brilliantly oversized rear wing.

That ‘S58’ 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six is famed for its tunability, and Manhart has gone to town on it: 738bhp and 664lb ft. That’s more power than a Ferrari F12 for some measure, and comes thanks to a new carbon air intake, custom power box and stainless steel exhaust. Should sound just as angry as it looks.

No mention of how acceleration and top speed are impacted, but we reckon the standard car’s four-second flat run to 62mph and top speed of 177mph (with the M Driver’s Pack chosen) should both see significant improvements.

Manhart will also throw in bigger brakes and racing downpipes if you so wish, and various suspension tunes comprising new shocks and springs. Seriously, it has no excuse not to see victory against the DeskJet with all this lot thrown in.

The new look brings in a fresh set of splitters and bumpers at each corner, revised kidney grilles and extra fangs on the lower vent. Not sure about that last one, but we do approve of the champagne-coloured stripes.

Pricing will vary massively depending on what modifications are chosen, but we’re expecting it to cost more than the DeskJet’s RRP of 34 quid.
