| Hamann: Typhoon (based on Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG) news
    Quote:
Cover your eyes and hide the children, Hamann has unveiled their new Mercedes G55 AMG-based Typhoon.
Set to compete with the 700 hp Brabus G V12 S Biturbo, the Hamann Typhoon features 600 hp (441 kW) and 782 Nm (576 lb-ft) of torque thanks to a high performance HM600 power kit that includes new engine electronics, a beefier belt pulley set, and a revised transmission with its own oil cooler. The net result of all these changes is a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 261 km/h (162 mph).
Hamann's engineers have also tweaked the legendary Geländewagen's styling by adding carbon fiber mirrors, door handles, fender vents, and a massive front grille. Other exterior design changes include a front spoiler with LED-daytime running lights, a revised rear bumper with an integrated diffuser, a six tailpipe exhaust system, 24-inch wheels, and a roof-mounted spoiler.
The unique sporting theme continues in the cabin as the Typhoon features a Hamann steering wheel, aluminum pedals, a 24-piece carbon fiber trim set, illuminated stainless steel door sill plates, and exclusive velour upholstery.

How come no one makes an actual kit for this car? They all end up looking like a G, it would be nice to see something absolutely insane for it. Timpo?

Not for 200k canadian for sure,
A G55 goes for 155k Canadian,
Adding those wheels another 10k at least,
Custom interior and engine
Bodykit, paint etc.
I doubt 200k can do it.

lol, a hamman bodykit, wheels and interior stuff will go for much more than you think. i dont have the prices, but an example would be a kleemann bodykit, along with subtle engine upgrades for a CL500 about 6 years ago would cost you about $40,000
