WOW, what a car – Hamann has recently unveiled their new Mercedes G55 AMG-based Typhoon that according to the manufacturer features 600 hp (441 kW) and 782 Nm (576 lb-ft) of torque. The car comes with its own HM600 power kit, new engine electronics, a revised transmission with its own oil cooler. The new Mercedes became even a more bloody speed car – now it offers a tremendous acceleration – 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 261 km/h. I am ready to bet – it will be a huge hit.

Frankly speaking, I don’t exactly understand the design of this car – since to me it looks a but awkward and not stylish at all – the lines are too sharp and I prefer smother ones. Among the new additions are: carbon fiber mirrors, door handles, and a massive front grille, a revised rear bumper with an integrated diffuser, 24-inch wheels. Sounds not bad, yeah?

The car also boasts aluminum pedals, illuminated stainless steel door sill plates, and amazing velour upholstery.
