Just take Manhart, the German tuning house renowned for making fast German sports cars, stupid fast. We've covered numerous Manhart builds,some good, and somepretty bad, but if there's one thing this company knows how to do, its make big power out of BMW's famed inline-six engines. Last year we covered itsBMW M2 tuning package, and this year the company is back with a new kit that delivers even more thrills and questionable styling choices. Say hello to the MH2 550.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. The result of this potent combination is a 0-60 mph sprint in the low four second range and a top speed of 174 mph. Manhart takes this solid base and makes it even wilder thanks to custom ECU tuning and a more efficient carbon air intake system. A set of downpipes and a cat-back exhaust also helps to free up some extra ponies. The end result is a compact rear-wheel-drive BMW that makes close to 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.
