HAMANN-Motorsport has really turned the Porsche
Panamera into a rocket. Even rom the actory the Gran
Turismo is already blessed with loads o perormance,
but this is stil l not enough or the Laupheim-based rener.
They’re crowning the Panamera as a super sports car with
603 hp/ 443 kW. This is music to the ears o Turbo and
Turbo S owners, as this powerhouse is bringing vitality
to both models. Already just reading the data sheet your
blood pressure shoots up and you get itchy eet: 870
Nm o torque at 2,250 - 4,500 rpm, 3.9 seconds or the
sprint to 100 km/h and hitting the 200 km/h mark ater
12.6 seconds. With the Sport Chrono Package activatedthe HAMANN Panamera’s ultimately turn into solid uel
rockets and catapult their occupants in a breathtaking 3.7
seconds to 100 km/h or in 12.4 seconds to 200 km/h
respectively. At the same time the top speed increases to
an impressive 315 km/h and thus it conclusively thumbs
its proverbial nose at the series models (Turbo 303 km/h,
Turbo S 306 km/h). Fittingly HAMANN-Motorsport has
called its bodywork program CYRANO in honour o theFrench ctional character with a long nose.
7/28/2019 Luxury Auto Direct Vol.6 No36
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/luxury-auto-direct-vol6-no36 18/66

In order to meet the highly visual requirements
and aerodynamic demands, the HAMANN
engineers revamped the ront o the our-seater
completely. Larger air intakes in connection
with perectly integrated daytime running lights
give the Porsche an even more dynamic look.
Moreover, the optimized airfow - generated by
the redesigned bonnet - reduces the lit at the
ront axle even urther. Adding 60 mm width to
the ront and rear enders makes the GranTurismo
look even more imposing and are instrumental
or the powerul overall appearance o the
HAMANN customization. The CYRANO sideskirts were modelled such as to steady the airfow
across the sides and let the stylish sports car
appear even closer to the tarmac and stretched.
In order to reduce the up-lit orces at the rear
axle, the HAMANN engineers developed a
special diuser rear apron or the sedan rom
Zuenhausen. The apron encases the striking
dual tailpipes o the sports exhaust system and
makes this car’s rear a real eye catcher.
To bring the mighty appearance o the CYRANO
to a ull circle, HAMANN added its new 22-
inch rims: UNIQUE FORGED “GUNMETAL”. The
design o the extremely light wheel combines
sportiness and elegance. The recommended
ront wheel/tyre combination is 9.5Jx22 incheswith 265/30 ZR 22 tyres. The rear is tted with
11.0Jx22 inch rims and 305/25 ZR 22 tires.
7/28/2019 Luxury Auto Direct Vol.6 No36
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/luxury-auto-direct-vol6-no36 19/66

Special eye catchers are the
new alu wheels with special
suspensions or a lowering module
or the air suspension that lowers
the Panamera’s center o gravity
up to 30 mm. At the same time, the
handling o the sports car is notably
improved.
The powerul enhancement o the
Panamera Turbo will soon be oered
by HAMANN as the core part o
its customisation program. Includedin this upgrade - which is still under
development - is a rear sports
mufer as well as a new engine
7/28/2019 Luxury Auto Direct Vol.6 No36
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/luxury-auto-direct-vol6-no36 20/66
18
management system. The result is a perormance
increase by 80 hp and a torque that has been
enhanced by 120 Nm.
HAMANN completely redesigns the interior o the
Panamera and turns it into a Five-Star VIP Lounge.
The actory-installed interior has been replaced
with the nest leathers. The HAMANN aluminium
pedal system shines brilliantly in the ootwell and
complements perectly the medical applications o
the car’s serial production interior.
Whether it is double clear-coat nish, leather, or
Alcantara – what ever your heart’s desire, it is
available upon request. From personalized oot
mats to complete interior leather nish, everything
is made with the highest degree o cratsmanship
and precision. Individually designed and
integrated into the vehicle by masters o their
crat. ■■■

Lamborghini is redening the uture o the supersports car with a unique technology demonstrator.
Boasting an extremely lightweight constructionthanks to advanced carbon-ber technology,the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento has an
overall curb weight o just 2,202 lb– including V10 power unit and
permanent all-wheel drive. Thismakes the Sesto Elemento a
unique demonstration o the
technological expertiseo AutomobiliLamborghini.

Innovative carbon-ber technologiesare being used here or the rst timein an automotive application. As a100 percent subsidiary o AUDI AG,the Italian carmaker also benetsrom the undisputed expertise o theGerman manuacturer when it comes
to lightweight construction.
With its amazing output o 570hp, sensational power-to-weightratio o only 1.75 kilograms per hpand 0-62 mph acceleration o only2.5 seconds, the Sesto Elementoguarantees unparalleled driving un.At the same time, uel consumptionalso drops because o the extremelightweight engineering appliedthroughout.
The name o this technologydemonstrator is derived rom theperiodic table, where carbon isclassied as the sixth element. Thus,the Sesto Elemento demonstratesthe worldwide leading expertiseo Lamborghini in carbon-ber reinorced plastics (CFRP)
technology. The super sports carbrand rom Sant’Agata Bolognese isthe only vehicle manuacturer in theworld to have mastered the completeCFRP process across a range o technologies, rom 3D designthrough simulation, validation,production and testing – all in astate-o-the-art industrial process thatstands or the very highest qualitystandards.
Lamborghini drives the technologydevelopment in its two researchcenters the ACRC (AdvancedComposite Research Center) andthe ACSL (Advanced CompositeStructures Laboratory) throughcollaborations with organizationssuch as Boeing, with the resultingtechnology secured under a host o patents.
The basis is an extremely solid,sti, sae and lightweight carbon-ber structur: the monocoque cello the Sesto Elemento. The entire

“The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how the uture o the super sports
car can look – extreme lightweight engineering, combined with extreme
perormance results in extreme driving un. We put all o our technological
competence into one stunning orm to create the Sesto Elemento,” comments
Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO o Automobili Lamborghini.
“It is our abilities in carbon-ber technology that have acilitated such a
orward-thinking concept, and we o course also benet rom the undisputed
lightweight expertise o AUDI AG. Systematic lightweight engineering is
crucial or uture super sports cars: or the most dynamic perormance, as
well as or low emissions. We will apply this technological advantage right
across our model range. Every uture Lamborghini will be touched by the
spirit o the Sesto Elemento.”

ront rame, the exterior panelsand crash boxes are also maderom CFRP. The Sesto Elemento’smajor suspension components andthe rims are made rom carbon
ber. The tailpipes are made romPyrosic, which is an advancedglass-ceramic matrix composite,able to reach and stand very hightemperatures up to 900° celsius.Even the propeller shat is made o CFRP.
Uncompromising dynamics romthe very rst glance: the design o
the Lamborghini Sesto Elementodisplays the sensuality o highperormance and possesses theelegance o pure, unadulteratedpower. The Sesto Elemento lits thedesign DNA o the Lamborghinibrand to a new level and integratesthe unctional consistency o carbon-ber technology into its
design language. A clear strengtho the CFRP technology is thereduction and integration o components – something that hasbeen used to its ull extent in this
innovative technology concept.
The hi-tech material is visibleeverywhere. The Sesto Elementois nished in a new, matt-shimmerclear coat, meaning that the CFRPstructure can be seen throughout.Yet the Sesto Elemento is not justblack; during the nal stage o production the carbon ber parts
receive a newly developed andpatented coat. Nano-Technologymakes it possible to add necrystals with a red shimmer.Suraces covered with this typeo nish glow red and deliver anoutstanding eect. Further, thesurace is particularly robust.

On a Lamborghini, every singleline has a clear unction; thetwo vertical ribs at the ront, orexample, improve the stinesso the component and guide the
cooling air directly to the radiatorbehind them and to the brakes. Thisguarantees the thermal wellbeingo the components even under thetoughest race track conditions.
The cooling air f ows through twored triangular openings in the hoodbeneath the ront windscreen andthrough large outlets in the sidepanels behind the ront wheels.
Sharply cut headlamp units completethe ront end. Reduction is the nameo the game here, too – alongsidethe bi-xenon lamps, there are ourLEDs in each unit. The low rontend looks incredibly dominant, withthe partially double-lipped rontspoiler pushed way out ront anddistinctively ormed air intakes.
The Sesto Elemento’s rear overhangis extremely short and, again,dened by optimum aerodynamics.The generously dimensioned
spoiler is perectly matched to thediuser and a urther air def ectorin the center, thus guaranteeingmaximum downorce or extremecornering speeds and excellent
high-speed directional stability.The Pyrosic tailpipes are directedupwards through the engine coverpanel, which also incorporatesten hexagonal openings and twoair scoops behind the roo ordelivering resh air to the V10power plant.
The minimalist approach hasalso been applied to the interior,
starting with the seats. Lamborghinihas dispensed completely withthe conventional seat rame. Inact, the whole internal structureis obtained and dened directlyrom the Forged Composite tub,that on one side plays a unctionalrole and on the other side is thebase or the optimally ormed seatcushions, upholstered in hi-tech
abric, which are axed directly tothe carbon-ber monocoque. Thecorrect ergonomics are providedby the steering wheel, which can
be adjusted or height and reach,and by the pedals, which can beelectrically adjusted longitudinally.O course, the designers o Lamborghini Centro Stile also
dispensed with interior trim in theclassic sense. The dominant visualeature throughout is the unctionalCFRP material – on the f oor androo o the monocoque, on the doorsand also on the cockpit and centerconsole. Even the electronic controlunit or the engine is mounted inplain sight – a very special kindo hi-tech aesthetic. The triangularcut-out is also evident as a design
eature – wherever material can beremoved in the interest o weightreduction.
The controls are presented in ahighly concentrated ormat. Theinstruments provide inormationprimarily on engine and roadspeed, as well as all parametersrelating to engine condition. Only
three piezoelectric buttons gracethe center console – one to startthe engine, one to shit into reversegear and another one or the lights.

The ascinating heart o the LamborghiniSesto Elemento is amiliar rom the GallardoLP 570-4 Superleggera. In the Sesto
Elemento too, the V10 unit is mounted“longitudinale posteriore” – longitudinallybehind the driver. The 570 hp outputequals 419 kW, all o which is available at8,000 r/min. The pulling power is just asimpressive – with the torque curve peakingat 540 Nm and 6,500 r/min.
The V10 oers 5,204 cm3 o displacement,delivering a specic output o 109.6 hp
per liter o displacement. The highlights o this long-stroke engine with an aluminumcrankcase include dry sump lubricationand a cylinder angle o 90 degrees.Both solutions are an integral part o thelightweight engineering approach, as wellas serving to lower the center o gravity andthus tighten the handling characteristics.Ideal combustion chamber ll comescourtesy o a switch-over induction systemand continually variable, chain-driven

The Sesto Elemento is equipped with thee.gear transmission, controlled in racecar ashion via shit paddles mounted onthe steering wheel. The automated systemwith electronic management shits smoothlythrough its six gears much aster than ahuman being would be able to. ■ ■■

With the roo raised the area underthe tonneau can be used as an
additional luggage area whichprovides 52 litres o useul storagespace. Bespoke luggage has beendesigned specically to t this spaceand is supplied as standard withevery 12C Spider.
