BMW M5 by Hamann

Well known German tuning firm Hamann has decided to give the BMW M5 (F10) a whole new identity which surely won't be appreciated by many people.

The tuner is no stranger to aftermarket kits for the M5 but unfortunately things keep getting worse. While the first one was not bad at all, the Mi5Sion package showed in Geneva earlier this month left a lot to be desired. However, we might have to reconsider our opinion after seeing Hamann’s latest M5-based project.

This more extreme variant was displayed at the Auto Trader Live luxury car show in Dubai where it shocked the crowd with its in-depth customization. Just about everything on the outside has changed, including the double kidney grille, ventilated hood, double rear spoilers and diffuser. The cabin is a blend of Alcantara and leather in black, red and light blue colors.

It seems there is a market for such a car as Hamann plans to make 10 units, each priced at 235,000 USD.

Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG Spyridon by Hamann

The latest Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG has received new looks and a power boost from Hamann for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The new hood is made from carbon fiber and weighs only 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs) while the mirror housings are also made from this lightweight material. Other changes include different rear apron with built-in diffuser, rear spoiler, side skirts with LEDs which light up the triple tailpipes sitting on both sides of the car. Hamann says the end pipes were anodized in a golden color and milled from a solid block of aluminum.

Hiding under the black carbon bonnet is the familiar V12 6.0-liter bi-turbo engine which in its standard form is good for 612 HP (450 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm). By installing a custom exhaust system and making other changes, Hamann was able to increase its output to 702 HP (516 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm).

The cabin has decorative stitching on the seats and instrument panel, aluminum sport pedals, gold-colored leather door panels, brushed stainless steel door sill trims and custom floor mats featuring black-threaded pearl velour.

Range Rover Hamann Mystere

Hamann applied a shiny pink coat on a 2013 Range Rover which arrived this week in Geneva. One of the most striking cars of the Swiss auto show is without any doubt Hamann's Range Rover. Aside from the pink wrap job, the British premium SUV wears a wide body kit that brings a new hood, front spoiler, front bumper, fenders, side sills and a redesigned rear bumper. Compared to the standard model, this modified Range Rover is 80mm wider.

While most of the body parts have a mirror-like surface, some of the upper ones are covered by a matte-like texture. This Range Rover is 40mm lower thanks to the new custom suspension parts and rides on Unique Forged or Edition Race wheels wrapped around in Continental tires measuring 305/30/23 on all four corners.

A similar mirror grey wrap was used by Hamann for their BMW M6 Coupe (Mirr6r) which is also being showcased in Geneva.

Hamann memoR

Hamann's McLaren MP4-12C based memoR has been given the art car treatment to make "grass-green Porsches, neon yellow Lamborghinis and even luminous red Ferraris" fade into the background. Described as "magnificent haute couture," the multi-colored model has an aerodynamic body kit that draws inspiration from the McLaren F1. It features a new front bumper with LED daytime running lights, a front splitter and a roof-mounted air intake. There's also revised side skirts, an extended diffuser, a prominent rear wing and 21-inch aluminum wheels. The styling kit is priced from €95,000 ($123,225) which sounds pretty expensive since it doesn't appear to include any performance upgrades. However, customers can order a bespoke interior with everything from Alcantara upholstery to wood trim.

HAMANN memoR based on the McLaren MP4-12C

Hamann celebrated the world debut of its McLaren MP4-12C tuning program with the unveiling of the memoR at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The German company has now released a batch of new photos showcasing the model.

Hamann has failed to supply any engine tuning details, suggesting the package is unfortunately all about style. Perhaps the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V8 engine has been deemed sufficient and continues to produce the factory output of 600 PS (441 kW / 592 bhp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque.

The body kit meanwhile has been extensively updated with Hamann's own package. It includes a new front bumper with integrated LED lights, a new rear wing, a more aggressive hood with integrated air vents and an extensively redesigned rear end with a new triple-tailpipe layout and an extended rear diffuser.

The exterior design is then completed with a glossy black finish featuring a red racing stripe running along the center as well as a set of 21-inch wheels.

Hamann M5 F10 widebody

Hamann is using the Geneva Motor Show to reveal their body aerodynamics customization program for the BMW M5 (F10).

Starting with the body, the tuner from Laupheim in Southern Germany adds wide body fender and quarter panel extensions increasing front and rear width on each side by 25mm and 30mm, respectively. The front bumper fascia has integrated LED daytime driving lights while the rear fascia is designed to reduce aerodynamic lift. Other components include side sills, a roof spoiler and rear boot spoiler.

The M5 also features Hamann ultra-light Unique Forged II wheels in front size 9.5Jx21-inch with Continental Sport Contact 5P tires in the size 265/30 ZR 21 and at the rear 12.0Jx21-inch with 325/25 ZR 21 tires. Also available is the three-piece HAMANN aluminum wheel named Edition Race Anodized. It has an anthracite-anodized inner wheel face plus a mirror-finished outer rim flange with titanium bolts. Sport springs lower the vehicle's ride height by 30mm.

Hamann is currently working on an engine performance upgrade which includes a high-performance sports muffler and a new engine-management system boosting power approximately 160 PS and 220 Nm of torque. In standard form, the BMW M5 produces 560 PS (412 kW / 552 hp) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque.

Lastly, the interior can be upgraded to cover the full upholstery in custom premium leather or Alcantara while adding Hamann aluminum pedals, metal or piano lacquer trim appliques and a personalised floor-mat set.

Hamann Hawk Roadster based on Mercedes SLS AMG

Back in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show German tuner Hamann revealed their HAWK GT Coupe program based on the Mercedes SLS AMG. One year later and Hamann has dressed the Roadster version exactly the same for the Swiss show once again.

Despite losing its wing doors from the coupe, the vehicle keeps its bird of prey name. The Roadster features a wind tunnel tested body kit consisting of a new front bumper fascia with LED lights and enlarged air inlets, carbon fiber hood with air vents, side skirts, fender flairs and quarter panels that are 60mm and 70mm wider on each side, respectively, and a rear bumper fascia with diffuser and carbon fiber wing.

Performance of the 6.3-liter V8 engine receives a high-performance stainless steel exhaust system while a sports air filter is used on the intake side. Combined with a remapped engine control unit, power output is raised to 636 PS (628 bhp / 468 kW) from the standard 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

The coilover kit with four height-adjustable dampers and four progressively wound springs lower the center of gravity by up to 30mm. Wheels are Hamann's own lightweight forged wheels in 9Jx21 with tires measuring 245/30 ZR 21 at the front and 12.5Jx21 with tires measuring 345/25 ZR 21 at the rear.

Hamann Cyrano Porsche Panamera

German tuner Hamann has revamped the Porsche Panamera and calls it the Hamann Cyrano.
