MANHART GER 800
Traditionally known as a BMW tuning specialist, MANHART Performance has been expanding significantly for some time now. We, led by owner Christoph Erfurt, have been impressively demonstrating our skills on vehicles from other manufacturers for years. One important mainstay is now the refinement of the most powerful top models from Mercedes-AMG. This is once again underlined by the vehicle presented here: the GER 800 based on the GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé of the current second generation C167.
For us, it was absolutely obligatory to increase the performance of the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo petrol engine, which is mildly hybridized with an additional electric compressor. The result is clear from the car's new name: no less than 800 hp and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm are available to power the GER 800 forward. This impressive increase of 188 hp and 150 Nm compared to the series with 612 hp (+22 hp due to the additional compressor) and 850 Nm is thanks to a MANHART turbo upgrade. A further contribution is made by our proven in-house MHtronik powerbox. MANHART OPF-Delete Sport downpipes with two 300-cell catalytic converters are also on board. However, these are only intended for export as they are not TÜV-approved.
The suspension was also upgraded. By modifying the standard air suspension, we achieved a lowering of 30 millimeters. Alternatively, the reduction in ground clearance can also be achieved by using new coupling rods. In either case, the result is that the MANHART Concave One rims mounted on the axles are perfectly aligned under the arches. The wheels have a satin black finish with yellow trim strips and the dimensions 10.5x23 and 12x23 inches. The corresponding tires measure 285/35ZR23 and 325/30ZR23. The star with six double spokes provides a good view of the OEM brake systems, whose calipers we painted yellow. However, individually configurable upgrades are also possible on request. The same applies to the rim color.
Thanks to a MANHART carbon-fiber widebody kit by TopCar Design, the GER 800 has also been extensively refined visually and has an even sportier appearance. In addition, the SUV coupé features a brand-typical MANHART decal set in yellow on its matt dark green bodywork. The interior is upgraded with a matching black and yellow MANHART Alcantara leather interior with matching MANHART floor mats.
