Default Hamann tricks out Murcielago LP640

LOL...looks like it has a mohawk (which doesnt even look functional). But besides that, looks badass.




Hamann, the German tuning firm known for turning out everything from amped-up MINIs to flamboyant, Batmobile-ish Ferraris, has presented its latest upgrade subject: the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. The Murcielago is a car that is amply menacing as is -- or so we thought. You see, Hamann decided that there was still room to make it look more evil, and success was achieved.

A full set of aero upgrades is now available. This includes a new front spoiler, rear wing, side sills, a roof-mounted intake, and new covers for both the lower and shoulder-mounted air intakes. The aero bits are available in both carbon fiber and fiberglass. Adding to the car's more pronounced visuals are a Hamann sport exhaust that features dual 120mm (4.72") tips poking out of the Murcielago's center exit. The effect borders on the cartoonish (see the attached gallery), but it's all business, as the new exhaust barks out a note with even more ferocity than the stock car's. Hamann's own "Edition Race" wheels finish things off nicely, and inside, the customization options are almost limitless. Hamann's trademark Lambo doors are not needed here. The Murcielago comes with the real thing, of course.

I agree, looks good otherwise, & I prefer a different color for this car.

adjustible suspension on this remember? so u can raise it to go over bumps and things (audi had to go and be all clever) ... prolly not something u wanna mess with

my vote: but the roof vent could go since i'm quite sure its useless
