Another car released at the Geneva Motor Show is the Mercedes SLS AMG from the Hamann tuning company. Called the Hawk, the gullwing door sports car features an Everose Gold exterior with a wind tunnel tested aerodynamic kit. Looks more pink than gold to me, however the package consists of a new front bumper fascia with LED daytime running lights and larger air inlets. A new carbon fiber hood lets hot air escape the engine bay, while the side skirts, rear bumper fascia, carbon fiber wing, and diffuser add styling points.

Hamann, the German tuners have debuted the Guardian, styled on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and released at the Geneva Auto Show. The front apron features integrated fog lights and LED daytime lights, as well as large air inlets; the carbon bonnet is lightweight and boosts engine ventilation with a power dome slip. The Cayenne is widened by 120 mm in front and 160 mm in back by side skirts and fender extensions. A gray and black paint theme with new wheels were installed for a custom look. Two large exhaust pipes are centrally mounted on the rear apron, which also boasts an integrated diffuser. An air filter, catalysts, sport exhaust system, and silencer are used to boost power. An ECU remap works with the hardware to increase the V8 twin-turbo engine output up to a full 550 PS.

Raising the numbers from 245 hp and 540 Nm of torque, the sport SUV now carries 275 hp and 620 Nm of torque. Hamann was able to accomplish this by tuning the Motronic engine management system to deliver more fuel and air. Now the exterior styling is what really enhanced the look of the BMW 5-Series GT.
