06.05.2007 HAMANN GIVES THE FERRARI 612 SCAGLIETTI A MAKEOVER

German Tuner Hamann introduces a styling and performance package for the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, aimed squarely at the gentleman driver who harbours sporting ambitions. The changes comprise of an extensive aerodynamic kit with diffuser, sporty end mufflers for an even stronger sound, agile road-handling through sport suspension and split-rim light-alloy wheels “Edition Race” in 20 and 21 inch. The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is the perfect vehicle in the Maranello sports car stable for the gentleman driver. The Gran Turismo is already a very noble means of travel as standard equipment, however particularly optically it can still stand some flashier details. Therefore a modification of the body stood at the top of the Hamann engineers’ to-do list. But the refiners from Laupheim didn’t neglect sound and handling either.

Form and function assume a strong symbiosis through the Hamann aerodynamic components. The sports car designed by Pininfarina acquired a front spoiler from the noble tuner from Laupheim to provide optimal downforce on the front axle, which also improved the optics of the largest Ferrari even further. The pair of side sills for the flank of the 612 impart an impression of lowered suspension. The rear spoiler helps to ensure optimal downforce on the rear axle, while clearly bringing a more sporting look to the rear view without disturbing the basic design. HAMANN achieves an even bigger modification to the rear view through a new rear end component with integrated diffuser, which also ensures more downforce. As customary with Hamann, the aerodynamic components are available in fibreglass and carbon-Kevlar.

Hamann addresses the subject of wheels with its self-developed design “Edition Race”. The appearance of the three-part, ultra-light, forged rim with cross-spoke design and black rim-star is characterised by the nine main spokes, which each branch out to form two more. Besides the exciting design, the titanium screwing is particularly pleasing to the eye.

The cherry on the cake of the noble optics are the highly polished rim flanges. Naturally Hamann also offers the wheels as a complete wheel set. Typical wheel and tire combinations: front 9.0 J x 20” / rear 12.5 J x 20” - 245/35 ZR 20 / 335/30 ZR20 front 9.0 J x 21” / rear 12.0 J x 21” - 245/30 ZR 21 / 345/25 ZR21.

With the aid of a new chassis spring assembly, Hamann lowers the centre of gravity even further which even in a vehicle of this calibre still brings noticeable improvement to the handling. Incontestably the sound of a Ferrari 12-cylinder is something completely special. The sport mufflers are made from in V2A stainless steel and are offered by Hamann for left and right, each of which has double exhaust pipes (Ř 90mm). When ordering the sport mufflers, the 540 HP symphony sounds twice as potent as before. This also means that the twelve cylinders can breathe out more easily.

Naturally Hamann also dedicates itself to the interior. Travelling should be made as pleasant as possible for the passengers. For example, an exclusive foot mat set in black in the Ferrari’s cockpit makes it appear more homey. Of course HAMANN can also modify any 612 Scaglietti to the individual tastes of the customer, e.g. with lavish leather fittings in different colours or extensive multimedia configurations involving a DVD player, TV or PlayStation.
