klutch_power Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 The new Ferrari F430 is commended as a worthy successor of the F360. No doubt, it gets attention, but not quite as much as the new Hamann-tuned version. From Laupheim Germany, Hamann have developed a product range based around the F430, and have completed their first stunning show car as an example of what they can do. The Hamann engineers have designed a comprehensive aerodynamics package for the Ferrari F430 to optimize weight and performance. The Hamann front spoiler gives the F430 a striking and unique character as well as reducing lift on the front axle. At the rear a newly designed rear diffuser ensures a higher down force at the rear axle. All these add-on parts, including broader side sills, are available in carbon-Kevlar or fiberglass. Performance plays an important role for the Hamann F430. Engineers have developed a complete high-performance sports exhaust system including a high-performance collector and sports catalysts. The result of this modification is a performance increase of 48 bhp (36 kw). The four-branch sports rear mufflers, specially designed by Hamann, release an absolutely powerful and sonorous sound. More exact driving characteristics can be expected of Hamann F430 thanks to the specially designed suspension. This suspension can be adjusted in height as well as in rebound and compression. Thus, the F430 reacts more agile and more precisely to steering changes. The multi-piece PG3 in classic five-spoke rims give a powerful impression and provide a good view of the Hamann sports brake system. The PG3 is available in 9x19 at the front and 11.5x19 in the rear. The interior of the Hamann Ferrari F430 is a successful mixture of luxurious and sporty features. An exclusive full leather interior in all colors as well as a high-quality set of mats give an elegant impression. With the corresponding racing seats and sills, the Hamann interior creates a real motor sports feeling.engine 90 Degree V8 position Mid Longitudinal aspiration Natural valvetrain DOHC, 4 Valves per Cyl w/Variable Timing, Variable Intake Tract fuel feed Electronic Sequential Injection displacement 4308 cc / 262.9 cu in bore 92 mm / 3.62 in stroke 81 mm / 3.19 in compression 11.3:1 power 396.0 kw / 531 bhp @ 8500 rpm hp per litre 123.26 bhp per litre bhp/weight 366.21 bhp per tonne redline 8500 drive wheels RWD w/E-Diff, CST body / frame Aluminum Monocoque front brakes Carbon-Ceramic Discs w/6-Piston Calipers, ABS, EBD f brake size 380 mm / 15.0 in rear brakes Carbon-Ceramic Discs w/4-Piston Calipers, ABS, EBD r brake size 350 mm / 13.8 in front wheels F 48.3 x 19.0 cm / 19 x 7.5 in rear wheels R 48.3 x 25.4 cm / 19 x 10 in front tire size 225/35ZR19 rear tire size 285/35ZR19 steering Rack & Pinion f suspension A-Arms w/Coil Springs, Electric Adj Tube Shocks, Anti-Roll Bar r suspension A-Arms w/Coil Springs, Electric Adj Tube Shocks, Anti-Roll Bar wheelbase 2600 mm / 102.4 in front track 1669 mm / 65.7 in rear track 1616 mm / 63.6 in length 4512 mm / 177.6 in width 1923 mm / 75.7 in height 1214 mm / 47.8 in transmission Manual or F1 Paddle Shift gear ratios 3.29:1, 2.16:1, 1.61:1, 1.27:1, 1.03:1, 0.82:1 final drive 4.30:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
