Hamann 5 Series GT Images Released

 Hamann 5 Series GT Images Released
Hamann BMW 5-Series GT

Hamann has released these pictures of a tuned BMW 5 Series GT. The GT is another model in the 5 Series range and has been officially shown in details and in pictures. It has seating space for four people inside a wheelbase equivalent in length to the 7 Series. All that is left is for it to come out at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

No further information has been let out by the Hamann troupe so all we have at the moment are these images. The standard GT comes with three engines; a new 3.0-litre single turbo petrol that makes 225kW (306hp) and 400Nm, a 4.4-litre twin turbo petrol with 300kW (408hp) and a 3.0-litre turbo diesel that makes 180kW (245hp) plus 540Nm of torque.

Current Hamann-tuned 5 Series sedans produce up to 20kW (27hp) and 45Nm more. These apply especially to the 550i which still has the old naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8. It figures then that the Hamann 550i GT will at least go up to 320kW (435hp), but we reckon it's fair to expect even more.

Look out for a modified front end and rear bumper, signature black wheels, different tailpipes, powerful brakes and a host of branded interior accessories.

hata0101, don't call someone a fanboy and then act the part of a fanboy yourself, it looks a little silly. =) IKA595 I'll have to agree, when it comes to BMW reserve your judgement until you see it in person; even Chris Bangle admitted the cars made in his time weren't as nice in photos as up close. To everyone who calls it ugly, I call your taste boring. Stick to Audi if you want three boxes of different lengths with the same front and back end tacked on at either end, I'll take a Merc or a BMW that has a bit of individuality. (Peace)

Thank god Hamann makes products for Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, and others or else they are in big trouble. Don't think there will be any solution to make this car look good.

This is without a doubt one of the best designs to come from BMW! A GT in heart and soul. I'm greatfull to BMW for being the only marque to do something new and do it as spot on as this. I'll be one of the first people to drive one of these... heehaaa!

In my honest opinion I gotta say that this is not a pretty car... You know what, this car is not for BMW, it is for some other brand (less sportier brand), although I think it will sell MUCH better than the 5 series wagon because it's just different. Wait for real life view!!!!!

 vilivo vilivo
Is it just me or is this a X6 with a lo-rider attitude??? I love BM, And the new 7 proves they can make a stylish large automobile, so, why these notchbacks???
