Hamann Motorsports Turns the McLaren MP4-12 into the memoR


The fourth customized McLaren MP4-12C to debut at the 2012 Geneva Auto Salon comes to us from Hamann Motorsports and it's called the "memoR".

The Germany company says its goal was to give the McLaren supercar a more aggressive and racier look which it achieves through the two-tone black and red paintjob and wide body aero kit that adds numerous new parts such as the front and rear aprons, side panels and a rear diffuser.

Range Rover Evoque Falls Into the Hands of Hamann Motorsport


The fourth model that Hamann Motorsport will display on its stand at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show won’t sport the extraordinary performance figures of the Hawk, the M5 or the Guardian Evo, but it’s quite special nonetheless.

The Laupheim, Germany-based tuning firm has laid its hands on the Range Rover Evoque with the intention of making the admittedly already stylish compact crossover model even more eye-catching.

It's Hamann Time for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster


At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Hamann Motorsport had unveiled a tuned version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG called the Hawk. One year later, the German tuner returns to the same venue to give the Hawk treatment to the roadster version of the SLS AMG.

The open-top model's naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 is upgraded with remapped electronics, a high performance exhaust system and a sports air filter that all do their part to lift output from 563hp (571PS) and 650Nm (479.3 lb-ft) to 627hp (636PS) and 680Nm(501.7 lb-ft) of torque.

Hamann's Geneva Motor Show-Bound BMW M5 F10 gets 710-Ponies


Although it specializes in tuning a wide range of cars from Audis to Ferraris, the company founded by Richard Hamann in 1986 has linked its name mostly to BMW's performance models.

The new F10 M5 is the latest model from the Bavarian manufacturer to be tuned by Hamann Motorsport and it will be officially revealed in Geneva this week.

Starting with the styling package, the front and rear wings have been enlarged by 25 and 30mm respectively on each side, while the M5 also gets new front and rear bumpers that are said to reduce lift, side sills, and roof and boot lid spoilers.

Guardian Evo is Hamann's 550HP Wide-Body Version of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo


Tuning house Hamann doesn’t do subtle. What it does do is take premium sports cars and SUVs and turn them into exclusive, and some times, over-the-top creations. One such example is the Guardian Evo that will debut at the 82nd Geneva Motor Show.

The name may not be giving any clues, but nonetheless, the latest proposal of the German tuning firm is based on the second generation of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

Porsche Panamera Turbo gets a Hamann-Style Makeover


If you ain't satisfied from Porsche's standard Panamera offerings nor its comprehensive customization program, the tuning specialists at Hamann have put their BMW tunes on the side to work on Stuttgart's sports saloon.

Starting with the exterior, Hamann developed a new wide-body aero package that transforms the looks (for the better or for the worse, we'll let you be the judge of that) of the Panamera.

Hamann Motorsports Reinterprets the BMW 530d GT


[Updated] BMW/Land Rover/Ferrari tuner Hamann just revealed its take on BMW's unfortunate 5-Series GT.
Coming from Hamann, one would expect a car as divisive as the 5GT to be insane and over the top. Sadly, it's more subtle and understated.

Hamann's 5GT (all engine variants) gets a new suspension setup across the range, functional front/rear spoilers, skirts, and a special rear apron to effectively house Hamann's new mufflers.

Especially for the 530d GT, the German tuner has developed a reprogrammed Motronic, allowing it to pick up 30 ponies to peg output at 275 horsepower (and a huge 620 Nm / 457 lb-ft of torque); wheels are standard Hamann (bling-y).

Hamann, creator of some of the world's more excessive BMWs, is going to be releasing a tuning kit for the E89 Z4.

The lowered Hamann Z4 features the usual tuner appointments: a new front bumper with integrated LEDs, side skirts, a spoiler, and rear apron. All standard fare, until you realize how mean they make the Z4 look.

Wearing a Hamann sports exhaust and electronically tuned to 360 horsepower (265 kW), the car will reach a de-limited 177 mph (285 km/h). Torque peaks at a hearty 398 lb ft (540 Nm).
