Default Ferrari F430 Hamann

I'm sure most of you already saw this, but it looks gorgeous, I really really really really really like it. Excepts for the rear wing
It looks so much better than the already stunning standard model.

Btw, what caught my attention is that they could increase 48 hp just from adjusting the exhaust, so my question really is how far can you increase hp on the 430 safely?

'Cause I'm always of the opinion that the manufacturer always gets as much but not everything, to have a more failfree engine.

So is it safe to have these kind of tuning, with no changes in the engine but only the exhausts.

I agree, Ferrari would never "forget" so much power when making the exhaust.
maybe they forget to say that they include an ECU upgrade?


I remember that Brabus did the same with the SLR, they gained 34 hp by fitting it with an open exhaust system, but that made the car not suitable for the road, so its not road legal.

Yeah, that's a pretty cool looking car. I don't mind the rear wing that much. I just don't like the wheels . But hey, I am not complaining if someone would give me one. . .

there's something so wrong about ricing up a Ferrari....however this one's not completely hideous......still rather go for the stock version

DUBCity... NFS-UndergroundExotica ... seems homan is catering for the "nouveau riche".... who graduate from a riced out Navigator to a Hamann riced car - the ultimate ghetto/trailer park expression...

Notice how the car no longer has a prancing horse on it ..

Ferrari sell the cars - but don't really approve of the cosmetic surgery...

I don't know, it sounds cool to have a car that isn't the same as the neighbours. And this is still the best tuned F430 I saw a.t.m.
Approve or not, as long as the money comes in.


(thanks again dani)

A Ferrari, tuned by Ferrari makes more sense.(CS)

I don't know - for the money you spend on a generic Hamann that anyone else with the cash can buy, why not order a new Ferrari and make use of the fact that you can almost customize the car to a bespoke level of specialization with some extra cash.

and if you are trying to "impress people" with your "tuned" expensive car (which is all that customers of Hamann are doing ) you are going to impress the right people with a true one-off bespoke Ferrari from the factory..

All the cars Hamann does are just expensive trash - rice by any other name Kleeman, Brabus etc are no different.

Even Schnitzer at times produces over-the-top junk - Alpina are the the only real class-act guys.

Back to this over-priced rice... you are impressing nobody except teenage boys and the peeps you left back in the hood.

Come back and really impress when you get a bespoke Ferrari is my answer...

It looks pretty cool - but I don't like the rear-wing!
the wing is the worst part about it.
Why do most of you dislike the wing?

I think it's gorgeous just like the rest of the modifications.

btw, at least Hamann didn't put a "ricer" wing on it, lol
