Ferrari's latest sports touring coupe, the 599 GTB, has just been improved upon by the exotic tuning company, Hamann. The car is quite an impressive exterior look straight from the factory, so Hamann set out only to enhance those already sharp looks.

The exterior of the Hamann 599 GTB received the most attention. A full ground effects kit was added, including an entirely new front spoiler, side skirts, and a race inspired rear diffuser. A rear spoiler was added to the rear lid, which also assists in down force for those impromptu Autobahn blasts.
The stock wheels and tires are great for the average Ferrari owner, but Hamann sought to appeal to owners who wanted to separate themselves from the rest of the crowd. Hamann employs a set of 21 inch wheels and tires to put the power to the pavement and fill the fenderwells perfectly. The rear tires are especially good at this, as they measure 345 millimeters wide.

Onto the topic of power, Hamann felt the factory V12 engine that puts out over 600 horsepower did the job, and chose not to modify the powertrain. Stay tuned to RPM Planets and Planet Euro for more amazing exotic tuner cars.
