Ferrari F430 Hamann

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I'm sure most of you already saw this, but it looks gorgeous, I really really really really really like it. Excepts for the rear wing :?
It looks so much better than the already stunning standard model.

Btw, what caught my attention is that they could increase 48 hp just from adjusting the exhaust, so my question really is how far can you increase hp on the 430 safely?

'Cause I'm always of the opinion that the manufacturer always gets as much but not everything, to have a more failfree engine.

So is it safe to have these kind of tuning, with no changes in the engine but only the exhausts.

They offer 355/25 rear tires :shock:

[SPEEDKILLAR]

I like it... except for the wing. I'm not a fan of the italian tuned sportcars... but this one is quite good. About the increase of power... I think that 48hp is too much power just adjusting the exhaust.

I agree, Ferrari would never "forget" so much power when making the exhaust.
maybe they forget to say that they include an ECU upgrade?


I remember that Brabus did the same with the SLR, they gained 34 hp by fitting it with an open exhaust system, but that made the car not suitable for the road, so its not road legal.

Yeah, that's a pretty cool looking car. I don't mind the rear wing that much. I just don't like the wheels ;). But hey, I am not complaining if someone would give me one. . .

[adamwich]

It looks pretty cool - but I don't like the rear-wing!

[pharzo]

there's something so wrong about ricing up a Ferrari....however this one's not completely hideous......still rather go for the stock version

[SPEEDKILLAR]

^^^^^thanks for posting the pics dani(couldn't do it myself yet), makes this thread look nicer.

[elitemrburns]

theres nothing i dislike about that car

DUBCity... NFS-UndergroundExotica ... seems homan is catering for the "nouveau riche".... who graduate from a riced out Navigator to a Hamann riced car - the ultimate ghetto/trailer park expression... ;)

Notice how the car no longer has a prancing horse on it .. ;)

Ferrari sell the cars - but don't really approve of the cosmetic surgery... :)

I don't know, it sounds cool to have a car that isn't the same as the neighbours. And this is still the best tuned F430 I saw a.t.m.
Approve or not, as long as the money comes in.


(thanks again dani)

there's nothing I like about the car :wink:

A Ferrari, tuned by Ferrari makes more sense.(CS)

I don't know - for the money you spend on a generic Hamann that anyone else with the cash can buy, why not order a new Ferrari and make use of the fact that you can almost customize the car to a bespoke level of specialization with some extra cash.

and if you are trying to "impress people" with your "tuned" expensive car (which is all that customers of Hamann are doing ) you are going to impress the right people with a true one-off bespoke Ferrari from the factory.. ;)

All the cars Hamann does are just expensive trash - rice by any other name ;) Kleeman, Brabus etc are no different.

Even Schnitzer at times produces over-the-top junk - Alpina are the the only real class-act guys.

Back to this over-priced rice... you are impressing nobody except teenage boys and the peeps you left back in the hood. :P

Come back and really impress when you get a bespoke Ferrari is my answer... :)

[SPEEDKILLAR]

^^^^^dammit, I have to agree with that :x

Except for the Brabus part, take that back right now :x :wink:

Awsome car. WTF is with that wing :?

[vexor]

WTF is with that wing

the wing is the worst part about it.


Why do most of you dislike the wing?

I think it's gorgeous just like the rest of the modifications.

btw, at least Hamann didn't put a "ricer" wing on it, lol

[szumszer]

for the most part hamann is not much of a tuner; it provides some body modifications, mostly little winglets and spoilers; the front looks ok, a little better than the standard car, although ferrari will probably have something like this on its stradale model anyway, on the other hand, the back is a little too modified, especially with this huge spoiler, but then again it depends on what flicks your switch; I would prefer a 430 spider in blue or dark grey color, stock, ferrari, no mods ... it is a pretty damn good car already

[SFDMALEX]

Alpina are the the only real class-act guys.


And Prodrive :wink:

[Fleischmann]

One of the few occasions when the HAMANN designers haven't completelly screwed up the design of the car. The rear wing is disposable though. Not much increase in power, but even the standard car has a lot.

'Cause I'm always of the opinion that the manufacturer always gets as much but not everything, to have a more failfree engine.


Not really mate, its about balance the the way the power is delivered which is more of a Ferrari thing. DOnt think stock Ferrari engines arent capable of much higher figures :wink: That 550 motor can make tons of power, but that wouldnt go hand in hand with the chassis :wink:

Just a bit of an update with high-res pics :D

thanx for the pics, nice colour and kit there :D

[430csjj]

I like it all. I would prefer it in black with red leather though.

[acs power]

I think the best Hamann creation is the Gallardo
