02.05.2007 GERMAN TUNER HAMANN UNVEILS PACKAGE FOR THE LAMBORGHINI MURCIÉLAGO LP640

German tuning concern Hamann have unveiled a bodykit upgrade for the new Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 which comprises of new aerodynamic-components to provide an impression of racing motor sports, a double-pipe stainless steel rear silencer, "Edition Race" 20 inch alloy wheels, a carbon-look interior and complete interior kits designed to the customer's preferences on individual basis.

It looks like a Stealth-Bomber - say Hamann - on four wheels. It is one of the most masculine looking sports car and it is fast. The Lamborghini LP640 through its appearance gives a clear impression it’s not just for show. Hamann decisively set as its goal to send a clear message and sharpened the Italian steer’s horns. The German tuner's modifications come through its looks, driving dynamics and sound, to create a distinct difference.

Maintenance of road contact is always a most essential ingredient when one is pushing a super sports car to the limit. To achieve greater downforce on the front and rear axle Hamann offers a front spoiler as well as a rear wing. Whoever prefers to show their affiliation to motor sports can order the parts in Carbon-Kevlar instead of the fiberglass version.

Hamann applies further aerodynamic components in form of a two-part rear diffuser with additional air hoses for the extendable side air intakes, side sills as well as a two-part front wing and carbon-pendants for the original side intakes in the sills in front of the rear wheels. Furthermore, a new central running air box on the roof brings back memories of the past racing-developed Lamborghini Diablo GT-R days. Naturally, these parts are also available in carbon-kevlar or fiberglass.

The car also offers an impressive sound and stunning rims. The Hamann double-pipe stainless sports rear silencer (2x120mm end pipes) emits a sound similar to that generated from race tracks announcing the arrival of the blood-curdling steed. Positive side effect; an even sportier rear look. Export customers can extend their exhaust system with a Hamann sport metallic catalytic converter. Also for individualization of vehicles within this high performance calibre, a choice of new wheel design is inherent. Hamann suggests its own creation "Edition Race". This multipieced, forged light alloy metal wheel with black wheel spider, “Y” spoke design, Titan bolts and high polished rim flange utilised for Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 comes in the combination 8,5Jx20" front and 13,0Jx20" rear. As expected, Hamann also offers here a complete wheel set with typical tyres sizes 235/30 ZR 20 (FA) and 325/25 ZR20 (RA).

Hamann has also prepared the cockpit of the Super-Lamborghini providing even more sports racing atmosphere. For this, the tuners from Laupheim, Germany will offer an 8-part carbon-look interior set. The race car look is established through instrument cockpit bordure, the air bleed jet, the gear shifting panel as well as the cigarette ashtray console. Naturally, Hamann offers each Lamborghini customer preferred alterations on an individual basis. For instance, extravagant leather furnishing in a variety of colours is possible or additional of multi-media articles.
