HARTGE has given the world’s first inline six-cylinder engine with twin turbo-chargers and a second generation direct-injection system a power boast of 44 hp (350 hp now) while maintaining its extremely good fuel consumption of only 9.2 litres per 100 kilometres (EU combined).

Top speed is now up to 280 km/h. For the dash from 0 to 100 km/h (0 - 62 mph), the 135i Coupé from HARTGE is half a second faster than its standard brother. Car has been lowered 25 mm with the new sports suspension to improve the handling and stability.

Aerodynamic changes include: front spoiler lip, roof spoiler, lip for boot lid, rear diffuser and side sills. Wheels are CLASSIC 2 aluminium wheels in the dimension 9 x 20″ with an offset 40 fitted with Pirelli PZero Nero tyres (245 / 30 ZR 20 front and rear).

Other HARTGE accessories help make the car more individual. They include: A decal set in metallic anthracite, a set of carbon (silver or black) casings for exterior mirrors, emblems for the bonnet and boot lid and a HARTGE insignia (140 x 32 mm).

For all models, HARTGE offers an attractive 3-spoke leather steering wheel with silver (or black) carbon inserts. HARTGE offers an illuminated gear knob, including an alcantara gaiter for the 6-speed manual gear box and the handbrake handle in a tasteful combination of leather and aluminium. Fully in aluminium, however, is the three-piece set of pedals, ideal for skilful heeling and toeing, while silver metallic dial, red needle and a speedometer reading up to 300 km/h underscore the sporting impression created by this exciting Coupé that, fully equipped by HARTGE, costs exactly 48,162.14 EUR excluding VAT.
