Hamann Range Rover Adds Big Pop of Color at Geneva Show

Hamann Range Rover Adds Big Pop of Color at Geneva Show The 2013 Range Rover has only been out a few months, but that hasn’t stopped German tuner Hamann from putting its own touches on the new off-roader. Dubbed “Mystere,” Hamann’s creation just might be the brightest set of wheels at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

There’s nothing subtle about the Mystere, which the tuner says “exhibits nothing more but self-confidence.” And apparently the tuner is confident it will find customers who will be attracted to a large SUV with a pink paint job and a mirror-like finish on most of its sheetmetal (the roof and side-view mirror caps have a matte finish). The show car is riding on “Edition Race” 23-inch forged three-piece rims, though a single-piece rim is also available.

The Mystere also features a custom exhaust system and the tuner says it plans to tweak the Range Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V-8, which puts out 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque in stock form.

In addition to the Range Rover Mystere, Hamann is displaying a custom “Mirr6r” BMW 6 Series, also sporting a mirror-like finish, though in a tamer dark gray color. Joining the 6 Series is an F10 M5 (renamed as Mi5Sion) with a white paint job and partially covered-up headlights. The tuner has fitted both BMWs with body kits, new rims, sport exhaust, and a lowered suspension system.

Finally, a Hamann-tuned Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG “Spyridon” is finished in a special paint the tuner claims will glow with a small application of voltage. Hamann also tweaked the G65’s twin-turbo V-12 with a new ECU and exhaust system, boosting output to 693 hp and 819 lb-ft of torque, up from 603 hp and 737 lb-ft. The powertrain mods are also available for the G63 AMG, which increases the twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8’s power from 536 hp and 516 lb-ft to 632 hp and 645 lb-ft. Visual modifications include 24-inch rims, carbon-fiber mirror housings and hood, and triple exhaust tips.
