Hamann Imperator

The Optimised aerodynamics in perfect quality
The Sportive elegance is the hallmark of the Hamann Imperator design: In order to meet the high expectations in its appearance and aerodynamics, the Hamann -designers completely reconstructed the front of the four-seater. Larger air inlets in connection with perfectly integrated daytime running lights give the Bentley an even more dynamic face.
Additionally, the newly designed front optimises the air flow and therefore reduces the lifting forces at the front axle. Impressive extensions at the front and rear wings broaden the Hamann Imperator by 70 millimetres and are contribute significantly to the powerful overall impression of the Hamann modification. The Hamann side skirts were modelled in such a way that they calm the air flow at the sides and make the noble sports car look even lower and more elongated. In order to reduce the lifting forces at the rear axle, the Hamann technicians fitted an elegant spoiler on the original boot lid of the Bentley and combined it with a diffuser rear skirt for additional downthrust.

Impressive in terms of dimension and design - the new light alloy wheel ANNIVERSARY RACE "ANODIZED"
Matching the striking appearance of the Imperator, Hamann uses new rims of the type ANNIVERSARY RACE "ANODIZED" in the dimension 22 inches. The exceptionally light, multi-part forged wheel has a high-gloss polished rim flange and a black anodized rim star. The recommended wheel/tyre combination for the front is 10.5Jx22 inches with tyres measuring 265/35 R 22. At the rear, 11.0Jx22 inch rims are used with tyres measuring 305/30 R 22.

Perfected technology for superior performance enhancement With a powerful performance enhancement.

Due to its new shape it lies much better in the hand and still offers all functions of the serial steering wheel. In the Hamann upholstery, the wheel is covered with most precious leather and enhanced with applications made of carbon fibre - this perfectly goes with the multi-part interior set made of same material.

With the complementary figure of 455lb/ft of torque, all in a car that weighs slightly more than 1200kg, the M15 is devastatingly fast.

Supreme cornering skills and a confidence-inspiring chassis are part the DNA and, in this respect, the M15 promises to be the best yet.
