Miami tuning specialist Active Autowerke has created a sledgehammer of a demonstrator vehicle based on the current BMW M3.

Labelled “Blitzkrieg” (lightning war) by its Facebook fans, the Coupe wears a body wrap that draws inspiration from Frank Stella’s 1976 BMW 3.0 CSL Art Car, along with carbon fibre BMW Motorsport front splitters and trunk spoiler and a rear diffuser section by Auto Carbon.

Underneath the hood the company has bolted a prototype Generation 7 Level 3 supercharger kit onto the 4.0-litre V8 engine, which is backed up by a colossal intercooler, a methanol injection system and full Signature exhaust system, which sees output jump from 309 kW (414 hp) to an Aventador-baiting 522 kW (700 hp).

Accompanying chassis upgrades consist of a big brake kit with twelve-piston calipers, full JRZ race-spec suspension and a set of 20-inch custom wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo tyres.
