HAMANN VOLCANO
The serial Mercedes-Benz SLR is already one of the most impressive cars on our
roads – but compared to the HAMANN VOLCANO it still looks rather harmless. Once
again, HAMANN-Motorsport proves its cutting edge when it comes to refining superb
sports cars. From a lift-reducing body design to a powerful performance
enhancement to a lavishly styled interior, HAMANN focuses on all components of this
luxury car and makes the automobile dreams of its exclusive clientele come true.
The total makeover of the Laupheim-based refiner is made of extremely light full
carbon and consists of front- and rear wing extensions and also new side skirt
attachments and sheathings. The front view of the Volcano is optically perfected with
a newly designed bonnet which enhances the overall impression by its integrated
hood scoop. But also for the rear, the refining technicians implemented new ideas
giving the SLR appearance its finishing touch. Under the boot lid cover, HAMANN
placed a strong diffuser which improves the car´s output in combination with the large
rear wing. At the front axle, a newly developed front spoiler renders the necessary
contact pressure. If desired, an especially developed overall paint for the VOLCANO
in either aluminium/chrome or white/matt completes the striking appearance of this
bolide.
The 21-inch rims named EDITION RACE with tyres measuring 255/30ZR21 at the
front and 345/25ZR21 at the back render an optimal road grip. The design of the
extraordinary light forged wheel thereby combines vitality and elegance and also
perfectly fills out the wheel houses.
The HAMANN makeover is not only sportive, but also has a lot to offer under the
bonnet. The HAMANN motor technicians get the most out of the Mercedes Benz V8-
aggregate (5.4 litres, 626 hp, 780 Nm): 700 hp / 515 kW and a maximum torque of
830 Nm at 3,300 crankshaft revolutions per minute. The therefore necessary
modifications include a newly programmed control unit, especially developed high
performance exhaust manifolds and an amended belt pulley combination for the
serial compressors. In order to facilitate the increased motor performance, HAMANN
adds a second water pump and adjusts the gearbox electronics. Invigorated in this
way and with the adequate sound from the six end pipes of the sport exhaust system,
the VULCANO accelerates from naught to a hundred in only 3.6 seconds. With a
maximum speed of 348 km/h, the HAMANN VOLCANO is 14 km/h faster than the
serial model.
The HAMANN product even beats the factory-provided performance-enhanced
special series SLR 722 by impressive 11 km/h.
A skillfully refined interior is waiting for the VOLCANO-pilot and also the exterior does
not rank behind. The overall makeover contains pedals and foot rests in aluminium
as well as noble door sill protectors and headrests with embossed embroidered
HAMANN-Logos. They can also be found on the exclusive floor mats. The overall
makeover can be enhanced with a HAMANN interior set containing custom-made
carbon parts for the dashboard and centre console. If desired, also the roof interior,
all pillars, the cockpit including the steering wheel and the sun visors can hereby be
adjusted in terms of colour. Therefore, HAMANN solely uses the high-quality material
Alcantara.
