2007 Hamann Ferrari F430 Black Miracle


HAMANN’s “Black Miracle“ designed black car body via a foil suggests the appearance of a primary base coat versus a ready-finished lacquered vehicle. It leaves an impression as if the entire car body is covered in velvet. Here as well, comes an idea directly from motor sports racing scene where motor covers are often finished in black matt to aide drivers with glare reduction. The “Black Miracle” design by HAMANN acts similar to a black hole absorbing all light. For the “light at the end of the tunnel” HAMANN provides additional parts following customer preferences in brilliant red, orange or yellow finish. The contrast between black matt and each “luminizing” addition is unquestionably mesmerizing especially for countless admirers at Ferrari meetings. Such an individualized F430 entrance has never been seen before!

The highlight of the “Black Miracle“ designs: when the black matt colour doesn’t seem pleasing anymore, the foil can be easily removed.

The noted HAMANN aerodynamic kit for the Ferrari F430 in dazzling colours grasps many elements directly out of motor sports. Front impressions of the F430 “Black Miracle“ through HAMANN’s front spoiler provide a distinct racing sports face and minimize front axle buoyancy. The wide rocker panel wings give a lowering impression. Further reminiscence of sports racing awakens at the rear end through the HAMANN diffuser and a powerful rear wing which provides more downthrust on the rear axle. HAMANN air dams for the downforce generating Venturi Tunnel boosts the effect.

Additionally included in the “Black Miracle“ design are finished aerodynamic parts in red, orange or yellow as well as coloured side mirrors and brake callipers, tinted rear lights, a coloured engine cover framing, dark tinted windows (including front window), bi-coloured leather furnishings (any choice of colour combinations), HAMANN logos within the head rests as well as the wheels finished in the colour of the aerodynamic components and with completely covered black matt rim flange.

You can refinance your house and your car--why not your life insurance? Rates on term policies have dropped significantly in recent years, thanks to longer life expectancies and better investment returns for insurers. And they'll drop 4 percent more this year, projects the Insurance Information Institute.

2007 JNH Ferrari 360 Modena


The sensitive task facing us when choosing to work on 360 Modena was whether we could put our own spice on the world's most complete design, which was Pininfarina and whether we could improve functional-wise what Ferrari's craftsmanship mastered in ground effect.

JNH's long standing policy is not to work on anything if it's only for dress-up purpose. Our motto is to use our magic to better the original design and function.

We have conducted numerous testing with stock car and what we witnessed there was disturbing. In 6th gear and extremely high speed situation, front under cover for which our modeler has nothing but praise was ripped apart and the fear of front lift ran through test drivers mind.

Extensive testing led us to this conclusion: 360 Modena is better left as it is. What we should do is respect the stock body and refine it JNH way.

Utilizing Venturi Tunnela and respecting Pininfarina design, specially on the side view --- What JNH proudly presents are: Front canard that'll be separately installed, Splitter which looks perfect on smooth side view and Rear under diffuser that effectively handle air from the bottom of body.


Byline: Erin Burt, Kiplinger Washington Editors When it comes to car insurance, young adults tend to take the path of least resistance -- and that could be costing them hundreds of dollars a year. Once you move out from under your parents' roof or buy your own car, most insurance companies will require you to buy your own policy instead of keeping your coverage under Mom and Dad's.

Some great deals exist right now on new and used cars as dealers clear out old inventory and make room for new models. But one major expense consumers often overlook in buying a new car is the cost of insuring it. A car's make and model can greatly influence what you pay for coverage. Many consumers never check with their insurer before buying a car, and they often fail to shop around for the best rates, according to the Kansas City-based National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
