Though Manhart is typically associated with dropping and boosting BMWs, it’s now directed its efforts toward the Z4’s sibling: the GR Supra. Since the two share the same ‘B58’ engine and eight-speed transmission, it’s familiar territory for the German tuner’s lab coats to try their hand. And try they have.
Dubbed the GR 550, that turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six which originally produced around 335hp has now been even more turbocharged and supported by a new part-aluminum radiator kit and a stronger carbon-fiber air intake. Manhart has also tinkered with the ECU (because which tuner doesn’t?), resulting in a final output of 542hp and 770Nm of torque.

The subsequently meatier soundtrack will also travel through a new stainless steel exhaust and out the back of blacked-out quad tailpipes. You’ll also get some valve control trickery going on so you can toggle the ferocity of the GR 550’s vocal cords as and when needed—like during shopping trips with mom.
Manhart’s also gone to town with the body, lowering it with three-way coilover suspension before throwing on a carbonized body kit and Concave One spinny things at each corner. There’s also a subtle rear wing sitting above revised light covers, and decorative black vinyl strips to augment the clean white body.
Of course, you could just choose not to accept these modifications and design your own GR 550 with a ride height of one meter and a body kit made of pepperoni, since ‘other’ customization requests can be put forth to Manhart, but that might take a bit more planning... and time.
