This BMW 8 Series Is More Powerful Than An M8 Competition

This BMW 8 Series Is More Powerful Than An M8 Competition

This massive power boost was achieved thanks to an ECU remap, upgraded turbochargers, a new intercooler, and sports air filters. Manhart hasn’t said how these upgrades have affected the performance, but the MH8 700 Cabriolet will be quicker than the M850i, which can sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 155 mph.

In addition, Manhart has added a stainless-steel exhaust system with valve control that makes the V8 sound more vicious and four stylish carbon or ceramic-coated tailpipes. Race downpipes without a catalytic converter and OPF-delete replacement pipes are also available. The eight-speed automatic has been upgraded to help the transmission cope with all that extra power too.
