The new Porsche 911 Carrera (997) is a real sports car, that creates enthusiasm with the old virtues of „performance and design“, reminding us of the 993. Hamann Motorsport has developed a comprehensive accessories´ program for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S which guarantees pure motorsports feeling.


The Hamann -designers developed aerodynamics components imparting an extremely sporty and, nevertheless, luxurious look to the Carrera. Included are a dynamically styled front spoiler, wide side sills and a mighty rear spoiler, which produces a higher downforce at the rear axle.



Sports springs lower the sports car by 25 millimeters and make it appear even more aggressive and sportier. Thus the muscular and dynamic design of the standard model is emphasized especially in combination with the aerodynamics components.



The appearance becomes more eyecatching, but additionally driving dynamics are improved. Progressive spring characteristics, i.e. an increased spring compression, make the driver wish for more corners and fast direction changes. The Carrera 911, sporty anyway, sticks to the tarmac and thus guarantees pure motorsports feeling. The suspension cross-brace, developed by Hamann, improves torsional rigidity and makes the Carrera sprint considerably more agile on the tarmac.

Hamann also offers sporty-elegant light-alloy rims for the new 997. The product range comprises the multi-piece PG3 in classical five-spokes design, giving a powerful impression, and the Anniversary II. The multi-piece forged wheel with its fine spokes allows a deep look at the brake system and suits the extremely sporty appearance of the Hamann 997.

The Laupheim experts create motorsports feeling in the interior as well: aluminum pedals including footrest allow pure motorsports flair.

But that´s not all. At the moment there are further products being developed. Shortly there will be a complete exhaust system, rear muffler, sports steel catalyst, high-performance collector, rear diffusor, top spoiler and many other things for the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S available at Hamann Motorsport.
