peter told me he removed the turbo kit so he could federalize the car, he's been waiting on that for at least 2 years. I like Peter's car too. Its similair to my silver Koenig bodied 512TR race car except my race car will have a BIGGER wing on it  |

Peter, the "275 GTB Competizione look-a-like" should almost be ready. I think it will show up at a meeting this year, and I will certainly make some pics. I will let you know .... Grtx, Edvar |

I love it. Front skirt is a little much for me, but keep the rest on the red one. |

Just because you can afford to do it does mean it should be done. While the quality of the work maybe outstanding the blending of these two designs is not an improvment IMHO. By the way Edvar, The Ferrari 275 GTB under construction at your "Redhead site" is a thing of beauty and craft. Love the "Garden" photo, too. PJM |

The white one is a Testarossa and all the other pics (incl. Peter's car) are F512 Ms. Although I don't know yet how many cars Hamann made, they made at least a few more. I know that Peter's car was one of three fitted with twin turbos (700HP or so). But there are several other Hamanns with just body tuning and perhaps some chip tuning (+35 HP). I remember seeing one in Nice (France) some years ago ... Here are two other shots of Peter's car ...

It's unreal how all these aftermarker companies think they have a better eye for beauty that the designers at Pininfarina. I have yet to see a Pininfarina design improved on by adding some type of plastic parts ! If you want a wing, buy an airplane , they come with two ! |

The red one there is Peter's car. Needs some getting used to. I am not a great fan of them The pure line of the TR looks so great why change it.

Well, I love it. That TR just looks finished now. But people are different. |

I agree, Ross. The TR is a giant wing as is. Putting a body kit on it is redundant, especially a rear wing. Looks garish. |

tr's do not look good with wings. sorry but just my opinion. the other stuff is ok if you really feel the need but i still think stock just looks better. |

Will, I saw those pics from Cavallino of his car. I figured it was prob the same car. I mean how many Red 512M's could they have possibly modified? Here is the pic Will is talking about.

here is a real hamman tr. That white one doesn't look right. Maybe because it is a TR and not a 512M???

The last place a wing needs to go is on a Testarossa... Blah... |
