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

 

doesn't look that much different than a stock phantom besides the rims =/

 

Clean phantoms', nothing to fancy when compared to other high end tuner cars. But I am a little confused as to why you would make a phantom sporty? (at least why bother with the sedan) I hate to ride on the common used phrase for these cars but they are cars that you are driven in, not cars that you would drive. Also, Has anyone ever seen one of these things in person? They are huge I mean these things are bigger than the biggest German (A8, 7 series, S class) in there long wheelbase versions to. That being said I do respect thing time and effort put into these cars.
