HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren

HAMANN has released the details and photos of its latest project - Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren’s. Featuring new side skirt attachments and sheathings, HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren also comes with a rear diffuser, a new bonnet, front and rear wing extensions.
Powered by a 5.4 liters V8 engine, this superb sports cars may develops 626 hp and 780 Nm of torque.
HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren manages to get from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reach its top speed up to 348 km/h with this modified engine.
With these results, HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren is 11 km/h faster than the SLR 722 special edition, and 14 km/h faster than the standard version.
Unfortunately, HAMANN has not released the information about Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren price.
Press Release
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.
HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren Pic
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 aluminum/chrome or white/matt completes the striking appearance of this bolide.
The 21-inch rims named EDITION RACE with tires 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 liters, 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.
HAMANN Volcano Mercedes SLR McLaren Picture
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 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 aluminum 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 center 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 color. Therefore, HAMANN solely uses the high-quality material Alcantara.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

You’ll notice that the dry sump system sits inside the cockpit area. I assume this is to allow for full flexibility with engine setups.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

The McMeekin Brothers 240SX was built to house a wide variety of engine types. The Buick straight 8 is the third engine the car’s housed… it’s previously been home to a Flathead V8 and a Indy spec Aurora V8 both of powered the car to the XF/GC record of 156.778 in 2005 and the E/FALT record of 235.890 in 2006. This second record certainly makes this car the world’s fastest S13 chassis!

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

Don told me that they built the car to be "safe" even at speeds edging past 240 mph. This is rather evident when you inspect the roll cage area. It’s properly beefy.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

The center pillar in a roll cage is something I’ve never seen previously… but after seeing video footage of cars going airborne at Bonneville… I can understand why it’s been built this way.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

All of this has been done to make this chassis as strong as possible…. I noticed that some competitors often added weight to their car to gain traction and stability on the salt flats, so in this case, making the car heavier is likely to help its performance and stability at speed on the salt.

Also notice how a full tube chassis has been built into the floor of the car. Both subframes have also been tied together…

Check it out…. a vintage Buick straight 8 engine has been shoe horned into the engine "room".

Let’s look inside the car.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

Accidents at Bonneville are not normally based on a car hitting another car or impacting a trackside object…. if you get in trouble above 200 mph, it usually means that the car is going to go into a series of rolls, or slide a long way on its roof…. so all safety measures take these elements into account.

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

For the McMeekin Bros race team, the choice of a S13 chassis was entirely based on its good aero numbers. They were also looking for a car that could easily accept a wide variety of engines, depending on what class they were looking to run at Bonneville on any given year…

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

.. So the choice of the 240SX chassis was a practical one based on the needs of their Bonneville plans… but unwittingly, the McMeekin team are now in possession of the fastest S13 on the planet. And as we know, this is a chassis type which has a huge following in drift car scenes around the world… but it’s an unexpected gem to an example constructed to fly down the salt flats of Bonneville!

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13

As a good portion of Speedhunters readers are partial to machines from the land of the rising sun, one of our goals at Speed Week was to collect images of all the Japanese cars at the event. Although Bonneville is very much the stronghold of American evolved rods, lakesters and muscle machines, Japanese cars do have a reasonable presence at the event.
So I knew I was on to a winner when I spotted this red S13 in the startline area of the Salt flats a few days ago.

A glance at the inspection certification stickers showed the car has been coming to Bonneville for a few years now…

Look though at what’s under the hood!…. What is it?

SpeedHunters : The world fastest S13


As a Bonneville newbie, one item that’s become clear to me is that the chassis and engine selection for a land speed record car are two very separate and distinct choices for any car builder.  Most competitors combine the engine and the chassis in order to enter what appears to be hundreds of different classes. Often a builder will try and find an overlooked class, build a special car and go for the record. People may even show up at Bonneville with more than one engine in order to set multiple records with one chassis.

Fluorescent Fitment

If you’ve been in the wheel game for awhile, then you’re no stranger to fluorescent fitment. From the tracks to the streets, fluorescent fitment can be found on many of the popular chassis such as the Silvia/200sx/240sx series and even on Subies. Though some may not get the color pop look, I think it looks rad. It looks even better when the color ways match. Check out some of the cars fitting the fluorescent fitment.

GALLERY THE LEGEND OF NAKAI

http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/
Porsche month on Speedhunters is long over. So why would I decide to write a story about one of Japan's most influential Porsche builders, and have the aggressive wheel lip and stunningly stylish rear fender of Nakai san's Rauh Welt Porsche as the main leader photo? Because Nakai san isn't just a Porsche guy... his style and his influence has much more effect than you might think. Before I continue too far with this story, I just wanted to point out that all these Rauh Welt shop visit...

EVENTBACK TO TSUKUBA FOR THE IDLERS GAMES


Speedhunters
http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/
When I was living in Japan, Tsukuba Circuit became a bit of a second home for me. It was close by, and featured some of the best car action in the world - paradise for a car crazed dude like myself. Of all the events I've been to at Tsukuba, few have left a bigger impression on me than the Idlers Club races. Idlers is where the internet legend of the Rauh Welt was born and is where you'll find the very best in Japanese automotive culture. When I found out there was going to be an Idlers event during my visit to Japan this month, it was tough to hold back the excitement....

CAR SPOTLIGHT RWB BORDEAUX PORSCHE

http://impressivecars-impressivecars.blogspot.com/
I'm always looking for an excuse to post any car that's undergone the RWB treatment. So when I saw photos of this Bordeaux flat painted 993, knew you guys would love want to see it. Its a totally new car that Nakai San built for one of his customers. Like almost of Rauh Welt built cars it rolls on SSR SP1's but instead of a custom gold finish the owner wanted a color that would suit the purple car. The wheels are wrapped in extra sticky Potenza RE555 tires, I bet it's a real challenge...
