Manhart has already got its hands on the new BMW Z4 and gives us an advance of the final result

The automotive industry presents itself as a sector capable of covering many fields, such as that of companies specialising in modifications. In this context sits Manhart, a German company best known for accentuating the sportiness of BMW models. After many years following how the tuner modifies the models of the Bavarian firm, the turn has come for the new Z4, a model presented as an ideal base to be pushed to its limits in every respect and to deliver performance worthy of a future Z4M.

For now Manhart has not released information about the modifications it will offer for the Z4, but it has shared its new name and its styling through its social media. At first glance we can notice significant changes, both visual and aerodynamic, a clear sign that under the skin of the MHZ4 500 we will find a substantial increase in power.

A rougher, more aggressive look

As is customary with this type of modification, much of the spotlight goes to the styling. The BMW Z4 already has a sporty, eye-catching design, but Manhart’s engineers and designers could not contain their eagerness and decided to modify every last detail of the Bavarian convertible.

At first we find a more prominent front end, featuring a new splitter that heightens the aggressiveness of the overall look. The side is dressed in wheels of generous dimensions and a specific design, but it is at the rear where we can see that clear statement of sportiness.

In this area there is a new, more voluminous diffuser and quad exhaust outlets that not only enhance the Z4’s features but also its sound. In this way Manhart will offer its customers a wind philharmonic that will make the sound of its inline six-cylinder resonate everywhere.

More power for the German sports car

The names used by the German tuner are no coincidence and, as we have already mentioned, this BMW Z4 has been renamed as MHZ4 500. The first two letters refer to the house that has tuned it, Manhart, followed by the model name and, finally, a number, which usually gives a figure very close to the power the vehicle officially declares after passing through the hands of the Teutonic firm.

With this in mind we can expect the BMW Z4 to deliver a little over 500 CV, a figure that will be drawn directly from its inline six-cylinder engine. Recall that the German sports car produces 340 CV and 500 Nm of torque as standard in its M40i variant, performance that will be substantially boosted thanks to Manhart’s work.
