HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS
with 485 hp / 357 kW and gullwing doors

HAMANN doesn't only have the world's biggest tuning program for BMW cars but also creates spectacular high performance automobiles again and again. The latest custom car from HAMANN is the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS. The coupe is powered by a 485 hp / 357 kW V8 four-valve engine and captivates with its sporty design with gullwing doors. The 315 km/h fast rocket, which costs 280,000 Euro, celebrated its World Premiere at the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW 2002.

The HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS is constructed on the base of a reinforced bodyshell of the current BMW M3. The V8 engine originally comes from the M5 but was extensively modified at the HAMANN engine department.

The engine of the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS powers 485 hp / 357 kW at 6,950 rpm and delivers a maximum torque of 555 Nm at 4,100 revs.

The power transmission to the rear wheels is made via a sport clutch and a six-speed manual gearbox with HAMANN SPORT SHIFT gearshift travel shortage and a special rear axle differential with 40 per cent locking rate.

As a result the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS establishes itself among the world's fastest sports cars: From standstill the coupe catapults in 4.0 seconds only to 100 km/h. After 12.9 seconds the car is already 200 km/h fast. Maximum speed is 315 km/h.

But the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS isn't one of the world's most exciting cars because of its extremely high road performances. The innovative HAMANN gullwing design, which stands out against conventional constructions, makes the coupe a true eyecatcher.

In addition HAMANN modifies the bodywork with sporty bodystyling components from the HAMANN tuning range for the current M3.

The sporty look is additionally marked by the special liquid-silver metallic paint, which changes its color depending on the incidence of light, the roof in clear-coated Carbon and the multi-piece HAMANN PG3 light alloy wheels. On the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS these wheels are fitted in the dimensions 8.5Jx19 front and 10Jx19 rear. For the tires they chose the sizes 245/35 ZR 19 front and 275/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle.

To be able to safely control the extreme road performances of the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS, the customizer updates the gullwing car with a high performance brake system with grooved brake discs and aluminium fixed calipers front and rear. In addition they developed a height-adjustable sport suspension set up for the higher weight of the V8 engine on the front axle.

The cockpit of the HAMANN LAS VEGAS WINGS has an exclusive equipment: The handmade HAMANN full leather interior is made with love down to the smallest detail. Its turquoise and black colors set a tasteful contrast to the silver color of the bodywork. HAMANN genuine Carbon applications and aluminium parts such as the pedals, the gearshift lever, the handbrake lever and the footrest give the interior a genuine racing touch.

Its name is its motto:
HAMANN POLE POSITIONbased on the BMW E 46

Its name is its motto: With the study HAMANN POLE POSITION, tuner HAMANN Motorsport demonstrates the creativity and technical competence of the worldwide renowned tuner for the next millenium.
The saloon painted in the special colour Conti-Yellow was constructed based on the E 46 model range and is powered by a M3 six-cylinder four-valve engine enlarged to 3.4 litre capacity. Beside the capacity enlargement, the HAMANN engine experts made many more modifications on the engine: In the engine compartment you can immediately identify the HAMANN Airbox made from Carbon/Kevlar. With its RAM-effect derived from motor racing and its larger induction pipes it has a very important share on the performance tuning. In addition, the engine is upgraded with a special exhaust manifold and specially recalibrated elecronic control units for Motronic and VANOS.
Specially for the HAMANN POLE POSITION concept car there had to be manufactured a specially tuned high performance exhaust system and many special components to fit the engine into the nose of the current ‘3. The power output is really spectacular: The 3.4 litre engine performs 370 hp / 272 kW at 7550 rpm and produces 420 Nm of maximum torque at 3500 revs. Power transmission to the rear wheels is made via a six-speed manual gearbox from the M3 and a reinforced rear axle differential with 40 per cent locking rate. Doped this way, the HAMANN POLE POSITION study catapults itself in 4.7 seconds from 0 - 100 km/h and is 285 plus km/h fast.
But the prototype doesn’t only set new standards regarding its road performances: With the HAMANN POLE POSITION concept car, a new, ultra-sporty HAMANN Motorsport aerodynamics-kit, which will be available soon for all BMW E 46, is introduced. The new front spoiler bumper with large vents for coolers and front brakes doesn’t only have eyecatching function: The front spoiler, which can be upgraded with additional Carbon lips, reduces the lift at the front axle towards zero and the design with the round fog lights also improves the car’s overtaking image.
Downforce at the rear axle is produced using a roof spoiler, a large, double rear wing and the new rear bumper with integrated Carbon diffusor. The add-on, sporty rounded fender flarings front and rear make the HAMANN POLE POSITION study 186 centimeters wide and give room to extremely big wheels.
To reach maximum possible traction, the wide body version is equipped with modular HAMANN Motorsport PG 2 light alloy wheels in 11Jx18 rear and ContiSportContact tyres in 275/30 ZR 19 format. To transfer the steering and braking forces, there are mounted 9-inch wide wheels with 245/35 ZR 19 tyres on the front axle. The asymmetrical tyre pattern of the Continental high performance tyre can be found again on the bodywork of the HAMANN POLE POSITION concept car.
Between the flarings there are integrated sporty styled side skirts. In addition, the yellow rocket is equipped with sports side mirrors and headlight covers. The exciting racing look is complemented with a very sporty handling. HAMANN Motorsport developed a height-adjustable sports suspension which lowers the car by 40 millimeters. The chassis package additionally contains adjustable anti-roll bars, a front strut brace and a high performance brake system with 320 mm large, ventilated and perforated discs and four-pot calipers.
The cockpit of the HAMANN POLE POSITION study equally meets aesthetic and functional demands: Seats and door panels are upholstered in a yellow-black leather combination. The same game of colours can be found again on panels at the dashboard and door panels. The sports seats care for optimal lateral seat support, the ergonomically shaped HAMANN airbag-sports-steering-wheel provides a safe and relaxed position of the driver’s hands. Gearshift lever knob and pedals made from aluminium give the interior a race-like touch. The HAMANN POLE POSITION concept car is a ready-to-drive study with outstanding road performances and handling. Many options like the aerodynamics parts, the wheels and many more are available for all BMW ‘3 of the E 46 model range.
