Default Hamann Ferrari California.

Tuning specialist Hamann Motorsport is known for its exploits with German exotics, but now the performance workshop has turned its attention to one of the latest Italian supercars in production--the Ferrari California.

On offer is an engine tuning service that reprograms the ECU, giving a 20% improvement to the California’s standard 4.3-liter V-8 engine. This boosts output to 552 horsepower.

Joining the list of engine mods is a host of aerodynamic and handling upgrades. These include a two-piece front spoiler with integrated side moldings in carbon-fiber. Hamann also adds custom side vents, new side skirts and a custom rear wing. All the bodykit parts are available in either fiberglass or carbon-fiber.

To top it all off, Hamann is also offering 21-inch alloy wheels. These sit underneath four new progressive suspension springs that lower the car by more than an inch. Inside, there are new aluminum pedals and custom leather trim is available at request.

Looks good, though I'm not sure white is really the color for the Cali.

I think it looks very nice. I would have left the hood scoop painted white though.

I like what they've done. The 5th pic of the front 3/4 view is my favorite.

Nice, but it needs the prancing horse on the grille and on the back, just doesn't look right without it.

I am blown away at how nice they made this car look. I liked the california when it came out but some of the styling seemed a little strange . Hamann sorted it all out with this thing
