Hamann Motorsports is known for its performance tuning of German sports cars, not necessarily that of luxury SUVs. But after the German tuner unveiled their latest program for the Porsche Cayenne, they shifted their focus on developing a Range Rover Supercharged tuning package for owners of the capable SUV.

Hamann Motorsports has produced tuning ranges for Range Rovers before, the most notable of which was the Hamann Conqueror II, based on the Sport model. Still, it has been quite some time since the German tuner has taken on a British SUV. The new Hamann Range Rover 5.0i V8 Supercharged features many similarities to its predecessor such as the wider bodywork, forged wheels, a custom interior, and a powerful engine.

The Hamann Range Rover was transformed into an aggressive, head-turning SUV. At the front, eyes are drawn to the new front bumper with large air intakes, bright LED daytime running lights, and spoiler. The new bumper seamlessly integrates into the widened fenders at the front and rear axle. The widebody conversion adds 60 mm to the front and 70 mm in width to the rear axle for a more powerful stance. To accommodate the widened fenders, a new rear bumper was designed and features a center-mounted dual-exhaust. As an option, customers can choose to install a rear roof spoiler for additional downforce.

Filling in those widened fenders are a new set of lightweight Hamann Motorsports wheels. The featured wheels in the Range Rover Supercharged tuning program are the three-piece forged Design Edition Race Anodized wheels paired with 295/35 R 22 tires. The new 22-inch wheels feature a polished chrome lip with black mesh centers and titanium hardware.

Hamann Motorsports then gave the engine a tune for added performance to back up the broader looks. The Range Rover Supercharged tuning program for the blown 5.0-liter V-8 engine consisted of a new exhaust system with cross-pipe and center pipe, and a new engine software upgrade. The result was 530 horsepower and 487 lb-ft. of torque, allowing the SUV to accelerate to 62 mph in 6.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 141 mph (227 km/h).

The interior of the luxury SUV can be transformed with a wide array of supple leather, fine trims, and other accessories from Hamann Motorsports. Customers can create their own design through Hamann Motorsports and even include personalized floor mats.

The Hamann Motorsports Range Rover Supercharged tuning program is currently available as an entire package or individual accessories. Pricing has not been announced.

But then again, the new Hamann Motorsports Cyrano isn’t for everyone. It’s for the special breed of Panamera buyer that is looking for performance with flash,and dazzle; the customers that are excited about outlandish designs, big spoilers, and muscular looks. This car has it all, and can comfortably fit four.

The design of the Porsche Panamera has always been controversial, but the new Hamann Cyrano makes the stock sedan look easy on the eyes. The Cyrano body kit is more aggressive and showy than any stock Panamera variant to date. The front features a large bumper with gaping air intakes and LED daytime running lights. The hood was also replaced with a lighter unit with air ducts to help cool the engine. Both the front and rear fenders were extended by 60 mm giving the Porsche Panamera an athletic stance. New side skirts redirect air away from the wheel wells and reduce drag. At the rear sits a new bumper with diffuser insert and central exhaust cutouts, while a large spoiler further improves downforce.

Hamann Motorsports completed the gaudy exterior transformation with a new set of in-house wheels and a lowered stance. Hamann’s lightweight Unique Forged “Gunmetal” wheels were installed in a 9.5J x 22 front and 11.0J x 22 rear fitment with 265/30 ZR 22 and 305/25 ZR 22 performance tires. The ride height can then lowered by 30 mm with either new suspension components or an electronic module.

To back up all those looks the German tuner is developing a Hamann Porsche Panamera Turbo power upgrade package. The 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine upgrade will include an ECU tune and rear sports muffler that increases power by 80 horses and 88.5 lb-ft. of torque for a total of 580 horsepower and 604.5 lb-ft.

Customers can option their Hamann Motorsports Cyrano Porsche Panamera with a full leather interior with custom stitching, alcantara, and custom trim sets. The Cyrano can also be fitted with Hamann Motorsports aluminum foot pedals and personalized floor mats.

The Hamann Motorsports Cyrano tuning range for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is currently available from the German company. Pricing has not been released.

Since Chris Bangle left BMW, the German automaker has taken many of its designs, including the new F12/F13 6 Series, in a fresh, new direction. Since 1986 Hamann Motorsports has been building and modifying BMW models, and have employed their expertise on the new drop top 6 Series.

The Hamann BMW 6 Series program takes the sleek lines of the stock model and created a body kit that gives it a longer and dynamic appearance. A new bumper emphasizes the BMW kidney bean grille and enlarges the air intakes to supply the engine with cool air. A spoiler is installed at the bottom of the bumper to increase downforce at higher speeds. Side skirts further accentuate the length and dynamics of the design as they stretch towards the rear. The back end sports a trunk-mounted spoiler for downforce and a bumper with four protruding tailpipes. The final touch is and LED daytime running light system for added safety and style.

Hamann Motorsports gives customers a wide variety of wheel options to create a truly custom look. The featured wheels (driver side) are one-piece Anniversary EVOs in a 9J x 21 front and 11J x 21 rear fitment with 265/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 tires. The other featured wheels (passenger side) are Hamann’s Edition Race Anodized three-piece forged rims. The wheels are finished with matte black anodized spokes with titanium screws and a polished rim flange. With the forged wheels, Hamann uses a 9J x 21 and 11J x 21 fitment with 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 Dunlop Sport Maxx tires. New sport suspension upgrades lower the Cabriolet by 30 mm at the front and rear axle and create an athletic stance.

The 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 of the BMW 6 Series Cabriolet can be given a big power upgrade thanks to Hamann. A 510 horsepower kit is in development, but customers can order the Hamann sport exhaust system that ends in a quad tailpipe design.

Inside customers have the option to create a custom interior design. Hamann offers anodized aluminum pedals, trim pieces, and door sills along with embroidered headrests, personalized floor mats, and rich leather upholstery.

Hamann Motorsports will be showcasing the new BMW 6 Series tuning package along with a few other programs at the 2011 IAA in Frankfurt. Pricing and availability details have not been released.

The new BMW F12 6 Series is a break from the Bangle design of the previous generation that was controversial but popular. While many design elements have been carried over, it is now a sleeker, more “mainstream” car. For those seeking individuality, Hamann Motorsport has designed a new program that adds a few subtle styling elements that drastically change the look of the BMW 6 Series Cabrio.

The Hamann BMW specialists have managed to transform the overall appearance and character of the 6 Series without adding any additional bodywork. Hamann offers three different wheel options for the cabriolet ranging in sizes from 20 to 21 inches. The featured wheel is the Design Edition Race “Anodized” with a high-gloss chrome plated rim flange, black spokes, and contrasting titanium screws. Also displayed on the F12 are Design “Anniversary EVO” wheels, which can be ordered in silver or black with a 21- or 20-inch diameter. In addition to the two featured wheels, customers also have the option of ordering 20-inch Design Edition Race matte black wheels. All three sets can be ordered individually or as a set and are compatible with the stock BMW tire pressure monitoring system. But the transformation isn’t complete until the Hamann progressively wound suspension springs are added. The springs lower the center of gravity by 30 mm up front and 25 mm at the rear, and help to remove any wheel gap.

The exterior design is also given an aggressive look and sound with the new exhaust system for the 650i. The twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 gains a full stainless steel four-pipe exhaust system with a middle muffler and large quad tips. Hamann hasn’t released the official power figures with the new exhaust system, but expect it to be slightly up from the stock 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft. of torque.

Inside the changes are also subtle. Hamann offers an aluminum pedal and footrest set in either silver or anodized black for customers. The floor is further upgraded with a set of black floor mats with stitched silver Hamann logos.

The Hamann BMW F12 6 Series Cabriolet is currently available from the German tuner. Pricing has not been released. Hamann Motorsport will be unveiling a full body kit at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September.

The BMW 5 Series Touring strikes a balance between utility, sport, and luxury by offering BMW driving dynamics, a large trunk space, and room for five. The F11 is one of the latest models in the new BMW 5 Series Range, and the German tuners at Hamann have decided to take a swing at making the five-person wagon even more exciting.

The first step for Hamann with the BMW F11 was to create a more athletic appearance for the different variants of the 5 Series Touring. Up front, Hamann installed a new spoiler lip for to normal Touring models, as well as a separate unit for models equipped with the M-Technology package. The front fascia is transformed with a redesigned skirt that features larger air inlets and four integrated LED daytime running lights. New side skirts were also added to form a seamless design towards the updated rear. The back of the F11 wears new downforce-developing bodywork to help keep that fat rear planted at higher speeds. The new skirt incorporates all four tailpipes along with a diffuser. Aerodynamics are further optimized with the use of roof and rear spoilers.

Complementing the new, more aggressive bodywork, are three striking sets of wheels and a lowered suspension. Hamann offers their classic one-piece Anniversary EVO wheels in either silver or matte black, or their forged multi-piece Edition Race Anodized wheels with a black face, polished flange, and titanium screws. All three kinds of wheels are available in 9.0J x 21 at the front axle and 11.0J x 21 at the rear, and fitted with 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR 21 tires. To complete the look and improve handling, Hamann has equipped the BMW F11 with progressively-wound suspension springs that reduce the ride height by 35 mm.

Inside, the F11 can be revamped with a bit of carbon fiber for a sportier atmosphere. A ten-piece trim set in carbon fiber, matte titanium grey, or a number of other colors can be installed to replace the stock material. To achieve a more driver-oriented feel, Hamann offers a sports steering wheel with airbag, and a set of anodized aluminum pedals. New velour floor mats are also available along with the optional embossed headrests.

The F11 BMW 5 Series Touring is more of an appearance package from Hamann. The only performance upgrades currently available from the German tuner are the quad tailpipes and sport rear muffler. For customers with the 550i, Hamann offers an exclusive sport catalytic converter with middle muffler to boost output by a few horses.

The Hamann BMW F11 5 Series Touring package is currently available from the German tuner as an entire package or individual accessories. The only pricing that has been released is the Anodized Race Edition wheel and tire set for € 8,390 (+/- 11,800 USD).

The new Porsche Cayenne (958) is sportier, sleeker, more efficient, and arguably more capable than the previous generation. One of the main goals for the new Cayenne was to make it lighter, thus enhancing a number of aspects such as handling, acceleration, etc. But, most of the Cayenne’s variants minus the Turbo, don’t display their improved athletic abilities through their design, unless they’ve received the Hamann treatment.

The Hamann Porsche tuning program for the new Cayenne gives the SUV a muscular appearance with new bodywork. While the stock models feature a sleek front bumper that creates a pointed fascia, Hamann has added a new front apron that extends outwards. The new bumper features new air inlets and additional LED daytime running lights that strengthen the Cayenne’s road presence. The program also consists of a new carbon fiber hood with a power dome flanked by dual air outlets to cool the engine. In keeping with the imposing bodywork, Hamann has also fitted new skirts alongside the Cayenne. At the rear is a new trunk spoiler for increased downforce at the rear axle and a redesigned bumper that incorporates the new quad exhaust tips.

But Hamann wasn’t satisfied with just giving the Cayenne new bodywork. To complete the exterior design, the German tuner has fitted new wheels and a lowered suspension. Three different 23-inch forged wheels are available to customers, allowing for a custom look. On the featured Cayenne the driver’s side wears one-piece cross-spoke Design Unique Forged “Anodized” wheels that are powder-coated black. Customers can also order the Design Unique Forged “Brushed” wheels that are the same as the “Anodized” wheels, but wear a brushed aluminum design. The passenger side of the featured Cayenne wears three-piece Design Edition Race “Anodized” wheels that showcase a cross-spoke design with high-gloss rim flange and black rim star contrasted by visible titanium bolts. All three wheels are fitted with new 315/25 R23 tires. Allowing both the wheels and the exterior design to work in harmony is a new lowering module for the stock air suspension that reduces ride height by 35 mm.

The torquey diesel engine in the Cayenne also benefits from some German tuning from Hamann. By optimizing the engine control unit, Hamann was able to extract an additional 35 horsepower and 51 lb-ft. of torque from the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6, bringing output to 275 horsepower from 4,000 to 4,400 RPM and 457 lb-ft. of torque from 2,000 to 2,250 RPM. While the German tuner has not yet developed power kits for the V-6 and V-8 engines, customers can order new sport exhausts with sport metal catalytic converters and quad tailpipes for a menacing sound.

The interior of the Cayenne sees mild refinements from Hamann. The tuner offers an aluminum pedal and foot rest set to create a sportier feel and a complete black pearl velour floor mat set with the Hamann logo in silver stitching.

Customers can order the complete package for the Porsche Cayenne (958) from Hamann or purchase individual components for a custom look. Pricing and performance numbers have not been released.

It all started back in 2003, when Lamborghini introduced the V-10 powered Gallardo. Since then the Gallardo has been nothing short of a bull in the automotive industry, becoming Lamborghini’s most-produced model to date. During its lifespan, the mid-engined sportscar has received numerous updates and changes while also spawning a great deal of special edition models.

Hamann Motorsports has also been a part of the Gallardo’s successful production run. Back in 2007, the German tuner took on the Gallardo with a complete tuning program called the “Victory”. Then in 2008 Lamborghini launched a performance model with new styling updates called the LP560-4, which Hamann Motorsport has taken on with its new “Victory II” tuning program.

One of the first things that pop into the minds of people when Lamborghini is mentioned is the doors (where would we be without “Lambo” doors on Civics right?). Surprisingly the Gallardo doesn’t come equipped with the iconic doors that Lamborghini has been known for. Instead, they open and close normally. With the new Victory II program, Hamann has changed that. The new program gives the LP560-4 “wing” doors that open at an angle, to give the Gallardo the exotic appearance that Lamborghini forgot to include.

The Victory II isn’t just about making entering and exiting the Gallardo a special experience. The entire exterior receives new, powerful bodywork. Up front is a sharper Race-Design apron with carbon fiber center piece that increases front axle downforce. To match the carbon fiber up front, Hamann offers a carbon fiber layer that can be added to the hood. The LP560-4’s strength is shown through its new front and rear fenders that are larger than the stock components, and connected by extended side skirts. The rear wears a new diffuser and large wing in either fiberglass or carbon fiber to help keep the Gallardo planted at high speeds. Aerodynamics are also enhanced with a roof-mounted carbon fiber air inlet that sucks in cool air.

To complete the Victory II exterior design, Hamann has fitted the LP560-4 with new, Edition Race wheels. Dressed in a special black varnish to match the exterior, the lightweight wheels measure 9.5J x 20 up front and 13J x 20 at the rear and wear 235/30Z R20 front and 325/25Z R20 rear rubber.

Hamann didn’t forget about that 5.2-liter V-10 sitting behind the driver either. From a simple ECU tune, the German tuner was able to extract an additional 20 horsepower and 26 lb-ft. of torque resulting in an impressive 580 horsepower and 424 lb-ft. of torque. The power increase helps the LP560-4 reach a top speed of 203.81 mph. In addition, Hamann can also install an end muffler to the stock exhaust, allowing the V-10 to let out a viscous bark.

The Victory II program also gives the LP560-4 a sporty, custom-tailored interior. A 14-part carbon fiber trim set adorns the steering wheel, door openers, and dashboard to emphasize the athletic abilities of the Victory II. Occupants are greeted with new Hamann sport seats with lightweight carbon fiber backs for improved lateral support. Customers also have the option to completely customize the interior with the help of Hamann’s in-house upholstery department.

The new Hamann Lamborghini Gallardo Victory II tuning program for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is currently available as a complete package or as separate accessories. Pricing has not been released.

What do you think of Hamann’s idea to add the wing doors to the Gallardo? Is that how all Lamborghini’s should be made? Leave a comment and let us know!

The BMW X5 M is a powerful and agile vehicle for its size, but even with the help of BMW’s M-division, it is still an SUV. Hamann Motorsports GmbH however, wanted to give the X5 M a real sportscar feel. To accomplish this, Hamann didn’t just add power to the 4.4-liter V-8 packed with potential and slap on some bodywork. Instead, they developed a complete tuning program that made the X5 M more capable with new brakes, suspension, functional bodywork, and of course, POWER!

The Flash Evo-M bodykit that Hamann has developed for the X5 M is not just functional, but also adds some flashy styling. The front fascia is striking and in your face with large intakes to supply the engine and brakes with cool air, and four strips of LED daytime running lights. Matching the extravagance of the front bumper is a carbon fiber hood that boasts two rows of air outlets and a power bulge. Fender extensions create a muscular appearance and are connected by aerodynamic side sills. The rear sports a dual center exhaust integrated into the diffuser in the new bumper. To increase downforce at the rear for high-speed stability, Hamann has fitted a carbon fiber roof spoiler. Customers can also option for carbon fiber door handles and exterior mirrors for an athletic look.

Hamann offers numerous wheel options to match the powerful exterior appearance of the Flash Evo M, ranging in size from 22 to 23 inches. The featured wheel is the Design Unique Forged “Anodized” wheel that measures 23 inches front and back, and wears a matte black anodized finish.

Packed under the carbon fiber hood of the Hamann BMW Flash Evo M is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 that packs a great deal of tuning potential. The stock 500 horsepower, 550 lb-ft. of torque is increased to 610 horsepower and 575 lb-ft. of torque with no speed limiter from an optimized ECU. For customers that want to unleash the full power of the V-8, Hamann offers a HM 670 sports kit that adds a new rear sports muffler and catalytic converter replacement pipes. The resulting power is a monstrous 700 lb-ft. of torque from 1,500 to 5,650 RPM and 670 horsepower, allowing the Flash Evo M to reach a 186 mph top speed.

The Flash Evo M isn’t all about power and bold looks, it can also stop and handle like the sportscar it intends to be. Hidden behind the massive 23-inch wheels is a new high-performance braking system developed by Hamann Motorsports. Up front, large 405 mm discs are clenched by six-piston calipers while the rear uses 340 mm discs with four-piston calipers to bring the Flash Evo M to a stop. The braking system uses steel-braided lines to prevent fade during continuous usage. Handling is also improved with the use of new progressively-wound suspension springs that lower the Flash Evo M by 30 mm, thus reducing the center of gravity.

Inside of the Flash Evo M, Hamann has created a plush carbon fiber environment. Numerous trim pieces are available in visible carbon fiber, while the seats, dashboard, and center console can be dressed in quilted leather with contrasting stitching or alcantara by the in-house saddlery shop at Hamann. To create a more sport-oriented experience for the driver, Hamann has fitted a new Sport steering wheel, 320 km/h speedometer, and silver or black anodized aluminum foot pedals. Completing the package are new floor and trunk mats bearing the Hamann logo to match the illuminated door sills.

The Hamann Flash Evo M is currently available as an entire package for the BMW X5 M. Customers can also order individual parts if they wish to customize their X5. Pricing has not been released.

With 670 horsepower, new brakes, upgraded suspension, and functional bodywork, do you think the Hamann Flash Evo M will have that sportscar feel? Leave a comment and let us know!

The latest tuning range for the new BMW F10 5 Series from Hamann bridges the gap between the M5 and the 550i with downforce-inducing aerodynamics, a sporty interior, and striking new wheel options. Although the tuning program doesn’t push the 4.4-liter V-8 of the 550i to make M5-like power, the styling package makes it look more unmistakable.

To bring out the sporty character found in all BMWs, Hamann has created an athletic and functional aerodynamic exterior kit. From the front, the 5 Series is more distinct with an adjustable front spoiler and bumper covers with built-in LED daytime running lights. For reduced drag, Hamann has installed subtle side skirts that flow to the rear. To create even more downforce the tuning program features not one, but two spoilers on the rear trunklid and roof. Also at the rear, Hamann has fitted a new rear bumper panel that allows for the new exhaust to be fitted and create a clean look.

Tying all of the exterior revisions together are three different sets of wheels along with a lowering module for spirited driving. Coming in measuring 8.5 J x 20 up front and 10.0 J x 20 at the rear are Hamann’s Light Alloy HM Evo wheels, featuring a five triple-spoke design and one-piece construction. For a more distinct look, customers can opt for the three-piece forged Edition Race “Matte Black” wheels that showcase a cross-spoke design in black with a polished flange a titanium screws. The featured wheels for the 5 Series are the Edition Race “Anodized” 21-inch split-rim forged wheels. Measuring 9.0 J x 21 at the front and 11.0 J x 21 at the rear, the lightweight wheels feature a black face with a polished flange and titanium screws. To complete the look, Hamann has fitted progressive suspension springs that lower the ride height by 35 mm.

For the 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged, 400 horsepower V-8 found in the 550i, Hamann offers two exhaust options to create an unforgettable sound. For a true V-8 roar, customers can opt for the Sport rear muffler with four 90 mm-round exhaust pipes that fits directly into the new rear bumper panel. Customers can also order the sport high-performance catalytic converters and center muffler to free up a few horses and create an even louder bark.

Matching the athletic exterior and growling V-8 is an equally sporty interior. Hamann has fitted the dashboard, center console, door handle panels, and steering wheel with a titanium gray carbon fiber that underscores the sport in the 5 Series without being too gaudy. In addition Hamann also lets your feet ride in comfort with new Hamann BMW floor mats and aluminum pedals for the driver.

The latest tuning program for the BMW 5 Series (F10) is currently available through Hamann. Customers can order the package as a whole, or order individual accessories for a custom look.
