Check out the Hamann Motorsport HM5/450 V12 based on the BMW
5 Series model.
The Hamann
Motorsport 6.1 engine is based on the BMW V12 engine. The cubic capacity is
extended to 6.1 liters with the help of a special crankshaft and bigger pistons.
In addition, the cylinder-heads are machined, sports camshafts and a special
exhaust manifold are assembled. For the installation of the V12 into the engine
compartment of the BMW 5 Series numerous parts such as the high performance exhaust
system and assembly brackets had to be designed. The sporting demand is
emphasized further with the six speed manual gearbox with sports clutch and a
special rear axle differential with 40 per cent locking.

On the road the car reaches thoroughbred sports
car level. The sprint from 0 - 100 km/h takes only 4.7 seconds, while the maximum
speed is 311 km/h with a specially adapted transmission-ratio. To improve
handling, Hamann Motorsport equips the HM5/450
V12 with a bigger brake system, sports suspension and 19 inch tires.
The three-piece Hamann Motorsport PG 2 rims are
assembled in 9Jx19 front and 11Jx19 rear. For the tires, they chose 245/35 ZR 19 front and 275/30 ZR 19 on the rear axle. The tuning of
the sports suspension can be individually adapted from very comfortable to
extremely sporty according to the demands of the customer. To further reduce the side
tilt of the car, there are stronger anti-roll bars. Hamann Motorsport
equips the sedan with
a sporty-elegant aerodynamics-kit, which is available for all standard 5 Series cars.
The Hamann front spoiler bumper gives the 5 Series an even more striking face
and minimizes lift at the front axle. For a further improvement of driving
stability, the Hamann front fascia can be equipped with an additional Carbon
lip.
From aside, the car looks lower and more
stretched with the fitting of the Hamann side panels. To reach an excellent
aerodynamic balance, Hamann Motorsport provides a roof spoiler, a rear wing in
two different versions and a new, complete rear bumper. The Hamann rear apron
has an integrated, Carbon-made diffusor and cutouts for the
Hamann four-pipe high performance exhaust system. For the interior of the
car, you can choose between the different BMW ex-works interiors and
exclusive full leather trims from Hamann Motorsport. They also offer
accessories like aluminum pedals and gear-shift-lever-knobs or wooden panels in
noble walnut wood or bird-eye maple.
The Hamann Motorsport HM5/450 V12 is offered as
a complete car or it is possible to convert a current BMW 5 Series model.
