The Hamann Black Miracle 540 horsepower Ferrari F430


The German tuner's latest take on the Ferrari F430 is certainly distinctive if nothing else, the Hamann Black Miracle.The words "raw" and "brutal" come to mind when glancing at the car's matte black foil with contrasting orange, red, or yellow racing stripes, painted mirrors, wheels, and ground effects, Lightweight, three-piece 20-inch wheels are also fitted for reduced rotational mass, resulting in quicker acceleration and reduced braking distances. Programmed engine management and a sports exhaust conspire to boost output by 50 horses (for a total of 540 horsepower), shorter and stiffer springs tighten up the handling, and the rear wing and diffuser add down force to the rear of the car.
