  • NOVITEC MCLAREN 765LT UNVEILED

    Thought the 765LT was fast enough? Think again. The Novitec McLaren 765Lt gets almost 850bhp taking its 0-60mph time down to 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 205mph.

    Last week we shared a video of a stock McLaren 765LT smashing the production car 1/4 mile drag record with a 9.3 second pass. This week, Novitec decided that the 765LT wasn’t quite fast enough so it went ahead and began making changes.

    First up we have a fettled with ECU that makes use of an upgraded thermally-insulated Inconel exhaust system as well as ceramic-coated turbo inlet pipes to fight off heat and 100-cell sport cats. This pushes peak power to 843bhp and 662lb ft of torque. That puts it some 89bhp and 72lb up over the regular 765LT. That also means it has a higher power-to-weight ratio than the mighty McLaren P1 (630bhp/tonne vs 600bhp/tonne respectively).

    The wheels are built by Vossen and are a staggered approach with 20 inch wheels at the front with a 255mm wide tyre and 21-inch wheels with 325mm wide tyres at the rear.

    The Novitec McLaren 765LT also features sport suspension which can drop the ride height by 20mm. Customers can also opt for carbonfibre headlight inserts, air intake surrounds and a roof scoop.

  • MANHART MH2 GTR REVEALED WITH 592BHP

    Based on the BMW M2 CS, the Manhart MH2 GTR is the little brother to the MH4 GTR and gets a whopping 592bhp from its 3.0-litre biturbo straight-six engine.

    It’s pretty striking, the MH2 GTR, isn’t it? Donned in BMW M decals and nods to Manhart and various other brands, there’s no mistaking that this BMW M2 CS is no ordinary sports car. New features include a splitter, carbon fibre fenders, carbon fibre rear wing  and new Concave One forged wheels by Manhart.

    It’s under the bonnet where things get interesting, though, thanks to a new Manhart turbo kit, intercooler (by CSF), aluminium charge pipes, a carbon fibre intake and Manhart sports downpipes and stainless-steel exhaust. With a bit of ECU fettling, power is now at an incredible 592hp with 612lb ft of torque. In order to deal with the extra torque, the transmission has also received a Manhart makeover.

    To match the performance and looks together, Manhart opted for a suspension upgrade from H&R that drops the ride height and increases cornering dynamics. Wrapped around those 20inch Manhart wheels are 255mm wide Michelin Cup 2 tyres at the front and 295mm wide at the rear.

    Inside the changes continue with Recaro sports seats, a carbon fibre steering wheel from BMW M Performance and data display in placement of one of the air vents in the centre.

    Want the full performance package without the exterior or interior upgrades? You’ll need to cough up a cool €22,500, roughly £19,800… To transform your CS into the Manhart MH2 GTR pictured above? Try €40,000 or £35,200!
