If the brutal acceleration of the 911 Turbo doesn’t scream performance, perhaps the bright orange paintwork on the Manhart TR 800 will. 613 kW makes it capable of sprinting to 100 km/h in only 2,6 seconds.

Manhart is at it again. The German company never cease to falter on their intentions as a globally renowned tuner. This time, the TR 800 takes the already impressive 911 Turbo and turns it up to eleven.
In numbers, this means that the original Stuttgart creation and its measly 477 kW and 800 N.m are no longer sufficient. Manhart has breathed new life into the TR 800, giving it an earth-shaking 613 kW and 965 N.m from the 3,8-litre twin-turbo flat-six motor.
This is possible with a pair of new turbochargers, an upgraded intercooler, stainless steel downpipes with 200-cell catalytic converters and of course, rewiring the brain of the car so it can optimise the hardware effectively.
If the sound-controlled exhaust valves are insufficient at making the TR 800 known from a distance, its bright orange paintwork will. The rest of the appearance has been altered with 30mm H&R lowering springs, front splitter, air intake frames, engine deck inlets and rear wing – all crafted from carbon fibre.

On all four corners are centre-lock wheels sporting a dual spoke design in satin black. To tie the wheels into the rest of the car is an orange pinstripe around the outermost diameter. The same logic has been carried over for the interior with orange details over a black aesthetic.
With the improvements in performance, the TR 800 is capable of sprinting to 100 km/h in 2,6 seconds and can achieve a quarter-mile (400 meters) sprint in only 10,5 seconds. Leave it a little bit more space and it can get all the way up to 330 km/h. Impressive.
