Ferrari Hamann 599 GTB Fiorano

http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/ferrari/2006-ferrari-hamann-599-gtb-fiorano/59907_031600_w800.jpgFerrari and Hamann – a combination to set the pulse racing of all fans of Italian sports cars. The vehicle tuning specialist from Laupheim, Germany, has various new details and a power boost up its sleeve for the latest model from the Maranello stable.

The power is produced by fitting an Hamann high-performance sports header (export only), including racing catalytic converters, to generate an extra 53 bhp. This takes the peak power output of this V12 engine, already familiar from the Ferrari Enzo, up to a majestic 673 bhp. You will rarely encounter more power than this on the open road. As a result, Hamann has reduced the power-to-weight ratio from 2.5 to 2.3 kg per bhp.

Ferrari Novitec F430

http://cdn-www.rsportscars.com/images/ferrari/2005-ferrari-novitec-f430/novitecf430_031600_w800.jpgDon’t read this right away. Stare at the photos for a while first, and absorb the beauty. Whatever I write cannot possibly stack up to such pure visual lust anyway, so hold off reading my drivel.

Novitec Rosso of Stetten in Bavaria, Germany, jumps to a rarefied tune these days. It entered the tender trap of Ferrari upgrades, when the company started discussing the possibilities back in 2000. Then, Novitec went for it and bought outright three 360 Modenas in 2001. The company’s supercharged 360 launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show, and things just took off from there.

Turkish Onuk Sazan is like Ferrari Dino, only without pedigree

What makes an Onuk Kazan? Well, in base trim you’re apparently talking about a 2,000-pound rear-wheel drive sportster that’s powered by a turbocharged Nissan V V6 that’s good for about 450 horsepower. Sounds great to us.

However, what if for a little weight penalty you could step up to General Motors’ LS7? That would net you about 512 hp, 480 lb-ft of twist and just 2,200 pounds of vehicle to move around. Now we’re talking. Okay, but how much? This is the bad news: €200,000, or about $300,000. That seems radically high to us, but we’re not up on our Turkish financial analysis.


Need a reason to support Turkey’s bid to become part of the European Union? Look no further than the Onuk Sazan, a brand-new sports car that depending on the engine might just slide its way into supercar territory. The Sazan was designed and built by a certain Dr. Onuk, who lost his son Kaan in a car accident. Sazan is a nickname for Kaan. Hence, the Onuk Sazan. Similar to Enzo and Dino Ferrari –only, well… you know.
