Art and capability – that is the link between designer Timo Wuerz (42) and Swabian car refiner Hamann whose latest “moving work of art” has been exposed at the Geneva Motor Show in form of the M4 sports coupé individualized by Hamann.
The biggest German national subscription daily newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung once called the creative genius the “rock star of the comic scene”. The designer, who made Hamburg his city of choice, individualises lifestyle and cars products, turning them into sole pieces bearing his unique touch. As reverence to the art of engine construction, the colours of the “M” logo served as source of motivation.
Solely for the Hamann sportscar, Wuerz has created a fulminate energy explosion, perfectly setting the stage for the vehicle concept’s characteristics. The work was transferred to the car on a sophisticated printed wrap.
Hamann’s “aerodynamics upgrade” essentially dominates with its extravagantly shaped bonnet made of visible carbon fibre and the potent rear wing in GT3 style. At the front, it is Hamann’s creation with carbon-fibre spoiler lip that astonishes – a salient detail that will not only send motorsport fans into transports of pleasure. The sophisticatedly profiled aerodynamics part enhances the downforce as in the GT Sport. It is an attention-grabbing contrast to the standard model’s stout air intakes and reaches as far as the wings’ edges.
The specialists professional from Laupheim carry on this clear line with pronounced side skirts. In accurate Hamann style, the standard rear is pepped up by a diffuser with four enormous carbon winglets, offering a significant setting for the four-pipe exhaust system. Even the tailpipes the refiner doesn’t leave unaffected: the German tuning manufacture finishes off its work with carbon fibre tail pieces with a diameter of 90 mm that conceitedly bear the affable Hamann brand mark.
The standard M4 which comes with 431 hp is anything but underpowered – but Hamann requires more. The car refiner fulfils the strong wish of racing fans and Nürburgring enthusiasts with a special control module for electronic power advancement and innovation that waits under the bonnet, if preferred. It improves the engine power output to thrilling presses and 517 hp forward heavily: at 1,850 – 5,500 rpm, Hamann makes the V6 turbocharged engine produce a maximum torque of 700 Nm – 150 more than the standard model. With these acceleration values, the modified M4 should be at least one step ahead.
For making this power handy and controllable it is also essential to transform the suspension: Hamann brings down the vehicle’s centre of gravity by around 30 mm, not only giving the car a magnificent and racky look. Moreover, the experts from Laupheim use reinforced sport anti-roll bars that optimize the routing behavior and lessen body roll. The exact adjustment to the adaptive M suspension guarantees that the M4 is not thrown off the track, even near the limit – given that the right tyre/wheel combination is used.
The 21-inch “Anniversary Evo” light-alloy wheel’s multi-spoke design comes with a silky black finish. High-performance Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R tyres passed the car refiner’s tough tests with flying colours. On the front axle, Hamann relies on 9.0 J x 21 ET 32 wheels combined with tyres in size 245/30 ZR21. The front axle impresses with 305/25 ZR21 tyres and “Anniversary Evo” wheels in 11.0 J x 21 ET 50. In the occurrence of the Hamann developers this combination induces by best handling characteristics and outstanding deceleration and acceleration values when combined with the M carbon ceramic brakes.
Also the interior cannot do without that assured something, therefore sport pedals are made of black anodised aluminium, and elite floor mats made of high-pile velours from Hamann’s interior programme are necessary elements. Those looking for that unique something will be charmed with the car door LED welcome projector lights with Hamann logo. The tailored and high-quality Hamann components for the M4 are available now individually or as complete set. Hamann purify the cars at its headquarters in Laupheim as well as at international partner sites.
