The extensive aerodynamic kit with diffuser, the sporty end mufflers for an even stronger sound, agile road-handling through sport suspension and the split-rim light-alloy wheels “Edition Race” in 20 and 21 inch, are only a few of the features that make the new HAMANN Ferrari 612 Scaglietti the perfect car for the gentelman driver that has also high sporting ambitions.
The engineers form Hamann have made a few modifications and at the top of the list there has been a modification of the body, although the Gran Turismo is already a noble vehicle when considering the standard equipment.The sound details and the handling has been kept on the list of modifications also.All modifications in form and function have been made to insure perfect symbiosis and harmony. The front spoiler is coming from Laupheim and it provides optimal downforce on the front axle. The pair of side sill for the flank gives the appearance of lower suspension.Very good downforce is ensured by the rear spoiler and it also gives the sportier look without any disturbance in the basic design. Also downforce is improved by the new rear end component with integrated diffuser.As usual, Hamann gives the possibility to the customer to choose if the aerodynamic components will be made from fibreglass or carbon Kevlar.The already known “Edition Race”-Hamann self designed will be available when talking about wheels. Nine main spokes which each branch out to form two more characterise this system a three part, ultra light forged rim with cross spoke design. Here are the tire combinations offered by Hamann: front 9.0 J x 20″ / rear 12.5 J x 20″ – 245/35 ZR 20 / 335/30 ZR20 and front 9.0 J x 21″ / rear 12.0 J x 21″ – 245/30 ZR 21 / 345/25 ZR21.The center of gravity is lowered with the help of a chassis spring assembly, which is very important when it comes to better handling.Sound is also improved as we have said before: customers can order the sport mufflers made from V2A stainless steel, with double exhaust pipes -90mm- which makes the 540 HP symphony sound twice better and stronger as before.When ordering, customers have the possibility to modify the 612 Scaglietti to their own individual taste: they can choose from the many different colours of leather fittings or different multimedia configurations (DVD player, TV or PlayStation.)

Audi Abt R8 Supercar

audi-abt-r8-2007.jpg

Abt Sportsline’s R8 is one of those amazing supercars which is able to bring the magic to the experienced exclusive driver. The new supercar can easily compete with dream cars like Lamborghini’s Gallardo, Ferrari’s F430 or Porsche’s 911 Turbo.
The pure sang racing genes are recognised by the first press reviews which agree that the Kempten based tuner managers have done a great job in developing a great serial model like R8.Roadholding is a special feature of the R8 and is achieved through, unique design of the rear with four inclined exhaust end pipes, rear diffuser and extravagant rear wing.The sideblades and side skirts developed especially for the new ABT R8 enhance aerodynamics. Downforce is improved with add-on parts from super sports cars in the Allg’u-region. This way perfect balance of the front and rear axis is provided and this is a characteristic found only in a few exclusive sports cars.The body is constructed using carbon-fibre parts with high precision and attention to detail and this way it provides great weight reduction and weight distribution, very important feature for high speed range cars.
High tech design touches from Kempten competing with from Maranello or Sant-Agata-Bolognese- will make this car a dream come true for the passionate top class drivers.The engine is a 4.2 litre V8 supercharger, which will bring ecstasy with its 530 Bavarian horsepower, which means 110 HP difference from the serial model. 3.9 seconds is how much it takes the Abt to get from 0 to 100 km/h, being able to reach a top speed of 317 Km/h.As mandatory as the expectations of the driver are, they can certainly be fulfilled by the adjustable in height, pressure and rebound means of suspension.
