As far as hardcore M3s go, we've seen quite a few. From 850 HP E46s to 650 HP E90s, we've seen it all. However, most of the times the results are achieved using massive turbochargers or superchargers on stock engines.
Looking around the web, we stumbled upon a really hardcore M3 from Manhart Racing. They called it MH3 V8 R Biturbo and you'll find out why in a few.
The car we're talking about dumped the S65 V8 4-liter naturally aspirated engine and went for its bigger brother, the S63 V8 4.4-liter biturbo unit used on the current M5, M6, X5 M and X6 M.
However, that was not the end of it. It wouldn't have been a proper Manhart Racing car without some more tuning. They too the stock power output of 560 HP and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque up to 707 HP and 910 Nm (671 lb-ft) of torque.
Furthermore, the exhaust system was, of course, replaced with their own titanium version with 4x80mm tailpipes, the transmission came from an X6 M and the differential came from an E60 M5.
The list of modifications just keeps on going, changing the exterior with some add-on parts, the interior almost completely and even the brakes were modified to cope with the immense power.
With the new numbers, the car reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 360 km/h (225 mph). The best news about this car though, is that it's for sale, located in Dubai and the asking price is just €129,000 ($168,284). That is a good deal, if you ask us.
