Preview: Hamann upgrades the Bentley Continental GT Speed

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Hamann Bentley Continental GT SpeedAlthough some of us still celebrating 2009 it seems that the guys from Hamann, the well-known German tuner, wanted to be the first company from the tuning world to present their new products: the new performance upgrades for the Bentley Continental GT Speed.

The new programme includes a new front bumper, new side sills, a new rear trunk spoiler and a new rear bumper featuring a 4-pipe exhaust system as well as a new air diffuser. The kit is completed by the new set of multi-spoke black wheels! Unfortunately, for the moment this is the only data we have but as soon as we will find out something we will let you know!

Maserati GranTurismo receives new Edition Race wheels from Hamann

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Maserati GranTurismo Hamann WheelsAs you may know already the wheels are maybe the most important thing at a car because they improve the looks even if the vehicle is a total mess. In order to sustain these words Hamann, the great German tuner revealed a new set of wheels for the Maserati GranTurismo and what should we say…the result is remarcable (of course the car wasn’t a total mess…).

The Italian vehicle received a new set of 21 inch Edition Race wheels wrapped in 245/30ZR21tires on the front and 345/45ZR21 on the rear. The engine though remained the same 4.2-liter V8 capable to deliver an impressive 405 hp and 460 Nm of torque, enough to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds. Hamann should be great example to Project Kahn who unveiled its new rims for the Maserati GranTurismo using Photoshop… So, Mr. Kahn follow Hamann’s example, please! More photos after the jump!

2008 Bmw X6 by Hamann

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Bmw X6 by HamannThe Bmw program offers the X6 as a car which has the characteristics of both the SUV and the sports coupe. As a qualified specialist for sport accessories, Hamann-Motorsport is particularly setting its sights on the driving dynamics segment of this Crossover model. Because of this, the technicians are sanitizing the aerodynamics, motor and running gear.

The changes convert the X6 into a car which makes almost every wish come true when it comes to performance. But the Laupheim-based refiner can do even more: an extensive interior and rim-program finishes the X6 modifications and makes the car stand out far beyond a vast array of other upper class SUVs. Plenty of photos after the jump!

Under the hood we can find the same 5.4-liter V8 engine produced by the German manufacturer but this time boosted from 626 hp and 780 Nm of torque to an impressive 700 hp (515 kW) and 830 Nm of torque at 3,300 rpm. Photo gallery and video after the jump!
