997 by Hamann







From HAMANN Press Release) HAMANN Accessories for the new Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S The new Porsche 911 Carrera (997) is a real sports car, that creates enthusiasm with the old virtues of performance and design, reminding us of the 993. HAMANN MOTORSPORT has developed a comprehensive accessories´ program for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S which guarantees pure motorsports feeling.

The HAMANN-designers developed aerodynamics components imparting an extremely sporty and, nevertheless, luxurious look to the Carrera. Included are a dynamically styled front spoiler, wide side sills and a mighty rear spoiler, which produces a higher downforce at the rear axle.

Sports springs lower the sports car by 25 millimeters and make it appear even more aggressive and sportier. Thus the muscular and dynamic design of the standard model is emphasized especially in combination with the aerodynamics components. The appearance becomes more eyecatching, but additionally driving dynamics are improved.

Progressive spring characteristics, i.e. an increased spring compression, make the driver wish for more corners and fast direction changes. The Carrera 911, sporty anyway, sticks to the tarmac and thus guarantees pure motorsports feeling. The suspension cross-brace, developed by HAMANN, improves torsional rigidity and makes the Carrera sprint considerably more agile on the tarmac.

HAMANN also offers sporty-elegant light-alloy rims for the new 997. The product range comprises the multi-piece PG3 in classical five-spokes design, giving a powerful impression, and the ANNIVERSARY II. The multi-piece forged wheel with its fine spokes allows a deep look at the brake system and suits the extremely sporty appearance of the HAMANN 997.

The Laupheim experts create motorsports feeling in the interior as well: aluminum pedals including footrest allow pure motorsports flair. But that´s not all. At the moment there are further products being developed. Shortly there will be a complete exhaust system, rear muffler, sports steel catalyst, high-performance collector, rear diffusor, top spoiler and many other things for the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S available at HAMANN MOTORSPORT.

I think the 997 looks best with a subtle bodykit, like TechArt.

I like the rims and front spoiler .. the side skirts and wing look a bit ghetto imo.

I'm suprised that it isn't as screwed up as the other kits they make for P cars. This one is way too conservative for the usual crazy Hamann style. The side skirts are odd looking.

I guess I'm in the minority - I like it. I think the wheels are sharp, and the rear wing doesn't seem much different from the techart one that I remember (I think it was techart). I like the side skirts. At least there are choices instead of just one aftermarket vendor.

i think Hamann's stuff is a bit overboard.
Some wheels are nice, but they are played out in BMW in the early 00/01
now we are in 2006/7. let's put some Techart, Cargrahpics, HREs on.
