BMW has never made a production M8 before not even when the 8 Series had proper, sports car-spec pop-up headlights so you can forgive us for being a wee bit impatient for the new one"s arrival. Solace has arrived from German tuner Manhart, who"s taken the regular, not slow nor unpowerful 8 Series and turned it up to a level that may even surpass M Division"s own version. Meet the MH8 600, a bit of a misnomer when it actually produces 612bhp. That"s from the same twin-turbo V8 that powers the current peak of the 8 Series range the M850i xDrive the extra 90bhp coming from a mere software upgrade. Torque has also risen significantly, from 553 to 642lb ft. It"ll be quick, then. And with standard all-wheel drive it should put all the extra power to reasonable use, too.
