  • 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!

  • FERRARI BREADVAN: COACHBUILT 550 MARANELLO

    When we talk about modified cars, Italian exotics are rarely our focus, but this coachbuilt Ferrari Breadvan takes the biscuit!

    Inspired by the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan, this Ferrari Breadvan is based on a 550 Maranello and built by London-based Neils van Roij Design.

    While underneath 99% the mechanicals remain from the base Ferrari 550 Maranello, including the 5.5-litre V12 and six-speed manual box, on the outside almost everything is entirely bespoke. The only mechanical change comes in the form of adjustable Koni shock absorbers, which also happens to be the same brand that created the shocks for the 1962 race car that inspires this coach build.

    The Ferrari Breadvan Hommage body is made entirely of hand-beaten aluminium with a Kammback, an aerodynamic design that reduces drag and featured on the 1962 racer.

    Inside, as you’d expect, has been completely overhauled with blue Alcantara seats, quilted leather around the centre console and aluminium switchgear, all of which is handmade or hand-beaten.

    Sadly this is just a one-off car built for a client and we wouldn’t like to know how much said project would cost, either. It’s not the first custom design Neils van Roij Design has undertaken, with it previously creating a Telsa Model S Shooting Brake and a two-door Range Rover called the Adventum.
