The tuning specialists from Hamann are well known for their German customizations, but this time they turned to the Italian supercars and modified the Ferrari California. They offer an ECU tuning package that reprograms the computer giving a 20% improvement over the stock numbers. The Ferrari California’s 4.3-liter V8 is boosted to 552 horsepower after the tune, and Hamann installed several aerodynamic parts. These include custom side vents, side skirts, and a custom rear wing which are available in either fiberglass or carbon fiber. A new carbon fiber two-piece front spoiler with integrated side moldings was also made to fit the Ferrari California aftermarket body kit.

It’s Hamann time! The German tuning company announced that they will release a new tuning package for the 2009 BMW 7 Series. The previous tuning kit for the 7 Series developed by Hamann was unveiled in 2005 and it was based on the BMW 760i/L. Engineers from Hamann managed to increase the stock V12 engine capacity from 6.0L to 7.1L and made it deliver 510 HP and a maximum torque of 728 Nm. The 2005 Hamann 7 managed to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds and it had an incredible top speed of 312 km/h. The tuning company also modified other 7 Series models like the 745i and 745 iL and they improved the 5.2L V8 engine to get 412 HP. The new modified 7 Series is still a mystery for us because the guys from Hamann haven’t released any details about the car’s performances but we can see a lot of visual improvements.
