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.
