HARTGE H50 V10 Coupe – BMW 3 Series Coupe E92 with M5 engine!

Forthcoming BMW M3 eat your heart out cause Hartge has presented a coupe version of the E90 BMW 3 Series Sedan based, and M5 powered, H50 V10. Its called H50 V10 Coupe, and as you read on the title above, it’s based on the 2008 3 Series Coupe. Like its sedan counterpart, it uses a modified version of BMW M5’s 5.0 litre V10 powerplant producing an extra 43 Hp, thus raising output to 550 Hp and torque to 520 Nm. The 5.0 V10 is coupled to a 7-speed SMG transmission and achieves a time of 4,4 sec for the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time while top speed is 320 km/h (200 mph).

To help the H50 V10 CoupĂ© put the power onto the road, it is fitted with a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension system that can be adjusted not only for height but also for rebound and compression. The wheel/tyre combination consists of 20'' alloys with Continental 245/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 tyres. The H50 V10 Coupe also receives a redesigned hood with air-outlets and a new front apron. In the interior, besides a speedometer graduate up to 330 km/h, there’s a carbon interior trim, 3-spoke steering wheel with carbon inserts and the leather/aluminium handbrake handle.


In general though, and considering that this car’s equipped with an tuned M5 engine, its appearance is quite modest especially if you compare it with other modified bimmers. Sound nice doesn’t it? Well, that’s cause you haven’t heard the price yet: 157.600 EUROS –or- 208.400 USD in Germany –tax included of course. Call me stupid but if I lived in Germany I’d prefer to buy a Porsche 911 GT3 (108.083 EUROS) and 2008 BMW 335 Ci –yes the one with the twin turbo engine (44.317 EUROS) and save a total of 5.200 EUROS….
