"After teasing us with a video montage of the Hamann Volcano, the tuner has finally released details on its reworked Mercedes McLaren SLR supercar.
With 5.4-liters of supercharged displacement to work with, Hamann turned up the boost with a new pulley, custom exhaust manifolds and tuned ECU to bring output up to 700 hp and 612 lb.-ft. of torque – an increase of 74 hp and 37 lb.-ft., respectively. In order to keep temps in check, Hamann added an additional water pump, and to make better use of the extra grunt, fiddled with the transmission's control unit. The 0-60 time is down to 3.6 seconds and top speed is now nine mph faster than the standard SLR and seven mph faster than the 722 edition.
Carbon fiber pieces replace the front and rear wings and the side skirts, while a new hood, diffuser and front spoiler all do there best to keep things as slippery as possible under speed. EDITION RACE 21-inches wheels are fitted at all four corners and wrapped in 255/30 (front) and 345/25 (rear) rubber. In addition to two color choices – aluminum/chrome or white/matte – owners can choose from new aluminum pedals, door sills and headrests emblazoned with Hamann logos, along with carbon fiber and Alcantara trim for the dash, center console, steering wheel and sun visors.
All the details are available in the press release below the fold."

Oh, & that kit for the SLR would only look good on a black car, that one up there is not so attractive.

they just took an ugly car and made it uglier. I have had a ride in an slr and its one that I wont forget, but the thing is freakishly long. The interior I like. as far as the exterior I would go with the wheels and thats it
What!!?? You guys don't like this one??
I'm a pretty conservative guy and I actually like this car. My only one change would be to not that the CF run up the front fender, just have it end by the 'gills' vents of the fender, but that's it!
Holla!
