When it comes to customizing luxury automobiles, the name Hamann-Motorsport
is known all over the world. With the introduction of the new program for
Porsche's Panamera, the tuning company from Laupheim, Germany, commends itself
again as the address to be when it comes to sporty accessories and exciting
chassis designs for the posh models of the high-end sport cars.
Sporty elegance gives distinction to the Hamann-Cyrano design: In order to meet
the highly visual requirements and aerodynamic demands, the Hamann engineers
revamped the front of the four-seater completely. Larger air intakes in
connection with perfectly integrated daytime running lights give the Porsche an
even more dynamic look. Moreover, the optimized airflow - generated by the
redesigned bonnet - reduces the lift at the front axle even further. Adding 60
mm width to the front and rear fenders makes the GranTurismo look even more
imposing and are instrumental for the powerful overall appearance of the Hamann
customization. The Hamann side skirts were modelled such as to steady the
airflow across the sides and let the stylish sports car appear even closer to
the tarmac and stretched. In order to reduce the up-lift forces at the rear
axle, the Hamann engineers developed a special diffuser rear apron for the sedan
from Zuffenhausen. The apron encases the striking dual tailpipes of the sports
exhaust system and makes this car's rear a real eye catcher.
To bring the mighty appearance of the Cyrano to a full circle, Hamann added its
new 22-inch rims: Unique Forged "Gunmetal". The design of the extremely light
wheel combines sportiness and elegance. The recommended front wheel/tire
combination is 9.5Jx22 inches with 265/30 ZR22 tires. The rear is fitted with
11.0Jx22 inch rims and 305/25 ZR22 tires.
Special eye catchers are the new aluminum wheels with special suspensions or a
lowering module for the air suspension that lowers the Panamera's center of
gravity up to 30 mm. At the same time, the handling of the sports car is notably
improved.
The powerful enhancement of the Panamera Turbo will soon be offered by Hamann as
the core part of its customization program. Included in this upgrade - which is
still under development - is a rear sports muffler as well as a new engine
management system. The result is a performance increase by 80 hp and a torque
that has been enhanced by 88 lb-ft (120 Nm).
Hamann also completely redesigns the interior of the Panamera and turns it into
a Five-Star VIP Lounge. The factory-installed interior has been replaced with
the finest leathers. The Hamann aluminum pedal system shines brilliantly in the
footwell and complements perfectly the medical applications of the car's serial
production interior.
