Manhart Racing Makes a BMW Z4 Even Faster

— September 3, 2009 — Autos
BMW makes fast, sporty cars, but what do you do if you just need a little more kick in the engine? You go to German tuning firm Manhart Racing, and they will take your roadster to the next level.

Here is what Manhart did with a BMW Z4 M (a super fast car to begin with). They took out the six-cylinder engine and dropped in a 5-liter V10 from a BMW M5, then they “modified the engine further to deliver a whopping 550 horsepower that, in a 1450kg car is good for a supercar-rivaling sprint to sixty in just 3.9 seconds.” In layman’s terms that means it goes super duper fast.
Trend Themes
1. Customized Supercars - The trend of tuning firms like Manhart Racing modifying high-performance cars to achieve even faster speeds and improved performance.
2. Engine Swaps - The trend of replacing stock engines with more powerful ones from different models or brands to enhance the speed and power of vehicles.
3. Performance Enhancement - The trend of upgrading existing cars with modifications and enhancements to optimize their performance and create a unique driving experience.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Customization - The automotive customization industry that caters to car enthusiasts looking to enhance the performance, aesthetics, and uniqueness of their vehicles.
2. Performance Tuning - The performance tuning industry that specializes in modifying engines, exhaust systems, and other components to improve the speed, power, and overall performance of vehicles.
3. Aftermarket Parts - The aftermarket parts industry that provides a wide range of performance-enhancing components, such as engines, brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems, for vehicle customization and upgrades.
