For a change, they tackled a Spaniard. The Manhart Formentor CP 500 began its life as a Cupra Formentor VZ5. That&#8217;s already a not-too-small version of the Formentor. Cupra launched the VZ5 in 2021 and built only 7,000 units. Under the hood is Audi&#8217;s delicious five-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Formentor VZ5 is the first car outside the Ingolstadt portfolio to have this engine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MANHART-Formentor-CP-500-Website-2-1140x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155689\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"737\" data-id=\"155694\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MANHART-Formentor-CP-500-Website-5-1140x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155694\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"737\" data-id=\"155695\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MANHART-Formentor-CP-500-Website-6-1140x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155695\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>More power<\/h2>\n<p>The 2.5-liter five-pitter produces 390 hp and 480 Nm of torque in the VZ5 from the factory.

They were installed lowering springs from H&amp;R, making the car 35 millimeters lower in the front and 30 millimeters lower in the rear. There are also new wheels and tires: 20-inch Manhart rims with five double spokes finished in satin black with gold rim trim. Of course, the car is finished in the Manhart colors: black with gold accents. The Wuppertal-based tuner also offers other colors as an alternative. A distinctive body kit, with a myriad of wings, tabs and spoilers, also provides a recognizable Manhart look. The interior has not been addressed, but upon request &#8211; and for a hefty sum of money &#8211; anything is possible at Manhart.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/geen-grap-deze-bmw-6-serie-cabrio-is-een-officiele-ambulance\/\">No joke: this BMW 6 Series Convertible is an official ambulance<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-autorai-nl wp-block-embed-autorai-nl\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"X8FQdErPVL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/geen-grap-deze-bmw-6-serie-cabrio-is-een-officiele-ambulance\/\">No joke: this BMW 6 Series Convertible is an official ambulance<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manhart The German tuner Manhart normally transforms very fast German bolides - and occasionally Italian and British ones - into&hellip;","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":134052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,172],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-134075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-car-news","category-fun-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Never seen a Cupra like this before: Manhart Formentor CP 500 is a Cupra with almost 500 hp - All cars news<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/all-car-news.com\/en\/never-seen-a-cupra-like-this-before-manhart-formentor-cp-500-is-a-cupra-with-almost-500-hp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Never seen a Cupra like this before: Manhart Formentor CP 500 is a Cupra with almost 500 hp - All cars news\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Manhart The German tuner Manhart normally transforms very fast German bolides - and occasionally Italian and British ones - into extremely fast cars.
