Three Cheers for Hamann

Guys-

I just wanted to give a salute to Hamann. These guys make some of the most beautiful cars in the world, and they have yet to design a car that I don't enjoy.

This Murcielago included.:eek2 : a 640HP beastly yellow thing that eats most cars you put it front of it with performance and style. This is truly a beautiful machine:

Not bad, not bad...

There's something about the new Lambos that just don't do it for me. Maybe it's from having grown up in the 70's/80's and lusting over the Muira and Countach. Maybe it's the thought of seeing A4 radio and HVAC controls in a quarter of a million dollar car. Or maybe it's the fact that there have been reports of Murcielagos just running themselves off the road for no apparent reason:

At any rate, it certainly is unique, and those Hamann wheels are sexy as hell. But I think I can one up you. Personally I feel the F430 is currently the most beautiful production automobile. I'm not going back in history, I'm saying current model year. And since we're talking hotted up supacars here, the Novitec F430 could most certainly give that Lambo a good run:

Assuming those rear wheels will ever hook up (Lambo's got the 4wd advantage). But the Ferrari's got the weight advantage 3200 lbs to the Lambo's 3750 lb, and 638hp with twin superchargers Points for being red too (as if Ferraris should be any other color).

I agree thouroughly that the f430 is in the top 5 most beautiful cars out right now....the Hamann one is really cool too, but I do love that red with smoked tails.....hotness.....

But think if that Murcielago was in black, as a convertbile, with smoked tails, and those wheels.

That's straight up sexy too....

And yes, those reports are very very scary...
