PHILOSOPHY<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part of MANHART automotive\u2019s corporate philosophy is to take into account and satisfy the needs of individualists who do not want to settle for the \u201cnormal\u201d, but seek the \u201cextraordinary\u201d. This creation of the particular is achieved through the construction of high-performance vehicles that display their power more or less openly. An enormous performance potential and understatement do not form diametrical opposites according to the MANHART performance philosophy, but rather \u2013 for those who would like to call their proverbial \u201cwolf in sheep\u2019s clothing\u201d their own \u2013 they can best be combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manhart is born<\/span>1986<\/span><\/div>
The company was founded in 1986 by brothers Wilfried and G\u00fcnther Manhart as a small garage in H\u00fcckelhoven, Germany, which was part of a service station business. Initially, the company concentrated on the repair and maintenance of BMWs. However, they soon began to develop their own modifications for BMWs and other high-performance vehicles.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Manhart's early years<\/span>1992<\/span><\/div>
In the early years, the company focused mainly on tuning services for BMW vehicles. As the company grew, MANHART expanded its product offering to include a range of aftermarket parts and accessories for BMW and other high-end vehicles such as the Mahlert 850 CSi Lightweight. From 1992 to 2004, G\u00fcnther Manhart worked exclusively for Hartge, AC Schitzer and Hamann Motorsport.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Manhart MH8 5.0 V8<\/span>1997<\/span><\/div>
A legend returns to the road: MANHART breathes new life into the BMW 8 Series generation - with 420 hp! Thanks to the significantly more aggressive design of the S62 engine, the new MANHART MH8 5.0 V8 is more dynamic than the original and is characterized by pure power. This high-performance BMW is strictly limited to five vehicles. Estimated market value: 149,000 euros.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Motor change<\/span>2001<\/span><\/div>
In the mid-1990s, the company moved its headquarters to Geilenkirchen in Germany and expanded its product range to include wheels and body kits. As a supplier, the company concentrated on engine transplant projects. All Hartge H50s as well as all AC Schnitzer prototype vehicles were built by MANHART.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

In 2005, Christoph Erfurt joined the company and began to develop MANHART Racing step by step into a globally recognized brand for BMW tuning. In 2011, Mr. Erfurt took over the company as the sole shareholder. Since then, Mr. Erfurt has led the company's growth and expansion into new markets while maintaining the company's reputation for high-performance tuning and aftermarket parts for BMW and other luxury vehicles.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>

Im Laufe der Jahre hat sich MANHART den Ruf erworben, einige der leistungsst\u00e4rksten und leistungsf\u00e4higsten BMWs auf dem Markt zu produzieren. Einige der bemerkenswertesten Kreationen des Unternehmens sind der MH3 V8 R Biturbo, der auf dem BMW E92 M3 basierte und \u00fcber einen doppelt aufgeladenen V8-Motor mit 743 PS verf\u00fcgte, und der MH5 S Biturbo, der auf dem BMW F90 M5 basierte und erstaunliche 800 PS leistete.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>
