Back in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show German tuner Hamann revealed
their HAWK GT Coupe program based on the Mercedes SLS AMG. One year
later and Hamann has dressed the Roadster version exactly the same for
the Swiss show once again.
Despite losing its wing doors from the coupe, the vehicle keeps its
bird of prey name. The Roadster features a wind tunnel tested body kit
consisting of a new front bumper fascia with LED lights and enlarged air
inlets, carbon fiber hood with air vents, side skirts, fender flairs
and quarter panels that are 60mm and 70mm wider on each side,
respectively, and a rear bumper fascia with diffuser and carbon fiber
wing.
Performance of the 6.3-liter V8 engine receives a high-performance
stainless steel exhaust system while a sports air filter is used on the
intake side. Combined with a remapped engine control unit, power output
is raised to 636 PS (628 bhp / 468 kW) from the standard 571 PS (420 kW /
563 hp) for a 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of
320 km/h (199 mph).
The coilover kit with four height-adjustable dampers and four
progressively wound springs lower the center of gravity by up to 30mm.
Wheels are Hamann's own lightweight forged wheels in 9Jx21 with tires
measuring 245/30 ZR 21 at the front and 12.5Jx21 with tires measuring
345/25 ZR 21 at the rear.
