I’m normally a huge fan of what Hamann does to the Ferraris it modifies, but the latest F430 Black Miracle just doesn’t get me too excited. Maybe it’s just the paint job, because I could never complain about a 50 horsepower increase from an upgraded CPU, performance headers, and a free flow catalyst and rear silencer exhaust system. I’m also a fan of the gull-wing doors, aerodynamic improvements and lightweight 20″ wheels, but the paint job (which is offered in red, yellow and orange) just makes it look like a toy.
It almost looks like when the designers were drawing the car out on the drawing board, they highlighted the parts they modified in a bright, florescent orange, thought it looked good and decided to keep it on the car, but with a choice of 3 florescent colors. I think the matte finish could look cool if it were plain black without the accents, although I don’t think Lamborghini did a great job with the matte black Gallardo Privilegio either. I know some people love it though, so if it’s your thing, feel free to tell me off in the comments.
