With 430-horsepower coming from the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine, the new BMW M4 Coupe does have a lot of power crammed under the hood. A German tuning company called Lightweight however figured that the M4 could use a tad more power from what they got from the factory and had developed an upgrade kit that considerably pumps up the output.

They started from replacing the stock exhaust to a titanium exhaust system with valve control which reduced the car’s weight to an unspecified amount. And by tinkering the 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, they now managed to wring out 520-horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. The suspension has also been changed with a BIlstein Clubsport suspension system.

On the outside, the M4 gets a new front spoiler and rear wing made from none other than carbon fiber, and the stock wheels are swapped with a better-looking 19-inch BBS light alloys. Other modifications available include a safety cage, bucket seats with six-point safety harness, carbon fiber rear diffuser and a boot lid spoiler.
