Hot on the heels of MINI previewing its new John Cooper Works Tuning Kit, HAMANN has revealed to us its interpretation of Britain's (Germany's?) tiny terror. The HAMANN MINI sports a new aero kit with a front spoiler, side sills, and a two-piece rear diffuser. HAMANN flag graphics are also available for the sides of the car and the roof. In addition, HAMANN has crafted three new wheels being offered in 17-inch and 18-inch sizes.

In terms of hardware, the German tuner has fitted the MINI with a new rear silencer and stainless steel tailpipes, as well as a new air intake, both of which purportedly improve the engine's aural assault. Not that MINIs are known for bad handling, but HAMANN felt it could make a few improvement in this area, as well. A completely new suspension sits under the MINI's skin and includes heigh-adjustable coilovers with new shocks and springs. Inside, HAMANN has added a number of aluminum interior accents and offers two interior trim packages that dot the cabin with exposed carbon fiber. No news on what it will cost to outfit your R56 with HAMANN components, but since each component can be ordered individually one can spread out the cost to ease the cash drain.
