Hamann Stallion: re-turbocharging the Porsche 911 Turbo
Click above for our high-res gallery of the Hamann Stallion
You wouldn't be mistaken for thinking that the Porsche 911 Turbo was already one of the fastest, best-performing sportscars on the road today. But that's where uber-tuners like Hamann – who've tuned everything from the MINI Cooper to the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti – come in to confound expectations and shatter assumptions.
Not satisfied with "only" 480 horsepower, the Hamann Stallion packs a whopping 630 of its namesakes. To achieve that 150hp boost in output, Hamann swapped out the variable nozzle turbochargers and replaced them with... bigger variable nozzle turbochargers. They've also fitted a new stainless steel exhaust, a new air filter and, of course, tinkered with the ECU. But they didn't stop at the engine. Hamann also chopped the roof down by 8 cm (about two and a half inches), bolted on a new aero kit and fitted huge 20-inch three-piece modular rims. They've also done up the interior in ostrich skin, applied some racing stripes and, oh yeah, also Lambo'd out the doors. The result? Well, the suddenly ordinary Turbo hits sixty in 3.9 seconds, but the Stallion cuts that down to 3.3. Not too bad for a day's work, but we dare not ask how much all these mods would cost over the price of a stock Turbo.
Check out the images in the gallery below for all the angles.

with those doors, its screaming Jar Jar binx to me.
I'd rather see standard doors and a CF roof or something lighter that would get me to 3.2 or 3.1.

From what I can see it's an automatic with manual mode, but no paddle shifters, shame. It really does look nice inside though, I'd have one despite my first criticism.

I wonder if Stallone has ordered his yet?

Yeeeeeeeeeeesh. Looks like a Frankenstein of a 911 Turbo, GT3, Exige S, R8, and some random Lambo. I was doing okay dealing with looking at it until I got to the doors, ostrich skin seats, Tiptronic and ridiculous rear wheel dish.
I think we need to come up with a new term to describe riced-out cars on a ridiculously high budget. You could use the word to describe half of Oakland, lol

In this case, is "kraut-ed out" more appropriate?
I agree with an earlier post that flat black without the doors or new interior skin would be perfect.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! As classy as gold chains, wide lapels, snakeskin boots, and gray chest hair sticking out of your shirt!
Bet you the mods cost $50,000+ easy for a whole .6 of the the zero to 60. Wow let me get my checkbook.
