Hamann Las Vegas Wings
Hamann Motorsport created its 2nd gull-wing M3, this time powered by a 485 hp / 357 kW V8 four-valve engine. The 315 km/h fast rocket costs 280,000 Euro

The HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS is constructed on the base of a reinforced bodyshell of the current BMW M3. The V8 engine originally comes from the M5 but was extensively modified at the HAMANN engine department.

Among other things the HAMANN doping for the 5.0 litre engine with single-throttle injection contains modifications on the inlet and outlet side, a special air induction with ram air effect and a 4-pipe stainless steel high performance exhaust system including special manifolds and metal-bed catalysts. The entire exhaust system was specially designed for this car. All new components get perfectly coordinated with a special mapping for the ECU.

To install the big V8 engine into the relatively small engine compartment of the BMW M3 many parts like the engine brackets, the oil-pan and the bonnet with the integrated window had to be especially handcrafted.

As a result the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS establishes itself among the world's fastest sports cars: From standstill the coupe catapults in 4.0 seconds only to 100 km/h. After 12.9 seconds the car is already 200 km/h fast. Maximum speed is 315 km/h.

The sporty look is additionally marked by the special liquid-silver metallic paint, which changes its color depending on the incidence of light, the roof in clear-coated Carbon and the multi-piece HAMANN PG3 light alloy wheels. On the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS these wheels are fitted in the dimensions 8.5Jx19 front and 10Jx19 rear. For the tires they chose the sizes 245/35 ZR 19 front and 275/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle.

The cockpit of the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS has an exclusive equipment: The handmade HAMANN full leather interior is made with love down to the smallest detail. Its turquoise and black colors set a tasteful contrast to the silver color of the bodywork. HAMANN genuine Carbon applications and aluminium parts such as the pedals, the gearshift lever, the handbrake lever and the footrest give the interior a genuine racing touch.



Colani Speedster Shark
Luigi Colani, the eccentric designer who's previously created such outrageous one-off prototypes, as the Ferrari Testa d'Oro re-clothed an Opel Speedster to a wild-looking coupe.



and there were a couple of monster Mercedes S-classes with 950 Nm of torque and a max speed over 315 km/h....
