You are probably familiar with Hamann Volcano SLR, an ostentatious body kit for the McLaren Mercedes which was released about a year ago. First model was wearing a white paint with naked black carbon parts on bonnet, fenders and the boot. Then some months ago during the 2009 IAA, the tuner released a red edition with the same characteristics and now they are introducing the yellow version of this car! Technically all models are the same, Hamann has just changes the paintjob and released it as a new edition!
The Volcano’s appearance might not appeal to anyone, specially fans of the original SLR, but as far as performance goes this car is a marvel. The standard V8 engine of the SLR is modified with a newly programmed control unit, especially developed high performance exhaust manifolds and an amended belt pulley combination for the serial compressors, and the result of this changes is a massive 700 hp and 830 nm of torque.
Therefore the Volcano beats the original car and the factory-tuned 722 model in top speed. It is also faster in 0-60 acceleration as it only takes 3.6 seconds.
Just like the exterior, the cabin too features a yellow and black theme with leather and alcantara upholstery with hand-stitches and yellow carbon fiber decorations
