The Manhart MHX6 700 Gold Edition: A Gleaming Marvel on Four Wheels

When it comes to BMW's X5 and X5 M, Manhart has an established reputation for elevating these models with expansive body kits, colossal wheels, and powerful performance enhancements. Yet, the brand's latest release, the MHX6 700 Gold Edition, takes opulence and individuality to an entirely new level, featuring forged carbon fiber components infused with radiant gold flakes.

Drawing inspiration from the facelifted BMW X6 M (F96), this unique project was spearheaded by Wuppertal-based tuners who aimed to fulfill the owner's desire for something truly special and ostentatious.

"Customer’s wish, our command," is Manhart’s guiding principle, and this extraordinary vehicle doesn't disappoint. The purple bodywork is adorned with gold decals and a bespoke body kit, resulting in an automotive spectacle that radiates exclusivity.

At a distance, the gold-infused texture could be mistaken for lavish gift wrapping. Upon closer inspection, one discovers that the gilded details are not merely surface-level: the entire body kit—grill surround, dual rear spoilers, splitter, bonnet vents, and rear diffuser—is constructed from forged carbon fiber accented with genuine gold.

Complementing this sartorial splendor is a set of 23-inch wheels, embellished with Manhart's iconic Y-spoke design. Though the vehicle's exterior is a feast for the eyes, the owner opted to retain the original interior, which already boasts an array of carbon fiber accents.

Under the hood, the MHX6 700 Gold Edition comes equipped with an MHtronic auxiliary control unit and is powered by BMW M's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine, churning out an impressive 720 HP and 900 Nm of torque.

For audiophiles, Manhart further enhances the experience with a stainless steel exhaust system featuring active flaps on the quad tailpipes. While the price remains undisclosed, the aura of luxury surrounding this vehicle is palpable.
