Hamann Rolls-Royce Phantom
With seemingly ever luxury automaker under the sun going after BMW's coveted balance between sport and luxury, it's a little ironic that BMW's own uber-luxury marque is the one to focus purely on cushioned comfort. But not everyone wants that out of their Rolls-Royce, or so Hamann is evidently betting. The German tuning firm has tweaked everything from Bimmer crossovers to Ferrari supercars and everything in between, but has now turned its attention to the Rolls-Royce Phantom range.
Few details are available at this point, but from what we can tell, Hamann has treated the Phantom saloon and Drophead Coupe to a set of 23" rims in case the standard 21" wheels weren't big enough, apparently ditching the self-righting emblem hubs in the process. A power boost is also said to be in the mix, bringing the 6.75-liter V12's output up from 460 horsepower to a more stately 535, and torque up from 720 newton-meters (531 lb-ft) to 835 Nm (615 lb-ft). With the electronic limiter removed, the Hamann-tuned Phantoms are said to be good for 300 km/h (187 mph), to be controlled from the plush interior via a specially-crafted sports steering wheel.

I like the steeringn wheel, not feeling the wheels at all. Mike I still think your Phantom wheels are the nicest out there.
I wish someone would figure ou a way to lower this car. Needs to get rid of that wheel gap. Brembo also needs to do a four wheel GT brake upgrade kit, as the one available only replaces the fronts.
Love this car.

Looks very out of place, those wheel are totally pointless. Either you are the person who likes the original wheels (me) or you want 24 inch chromerims on it. But the engine is the one from the BMW 760 right? How are they going to add nearly 75 hp to that? Sc it?
