Now that's really the best of both worlds.
The A8 is indeed an outstanding snow/slush car....even better than my wife's BMW X5. I'm sure the S500 4Matic will replace it nicely.
But on a sunny, dry day.....a Ferrari should cure anything that ails you!

Nice 360 Spyder! I've seen a Red Hammann 360 Spyder and that's even better that this silver one.

Ok Jam55 you really have my attention, I would have to say I feel that I am well versed about Ferraris but not aftermarket tuners? What exactly does "Hammann" do to them? Can you post a link or some info THANKS. Too bad no S55 4matic or S600 but you can get S500 4matic sport now

I see they are selling the Tubi exhaust here with or without flap control. That interesting though all of them came with the 3rd gear cover because of noise level limits in 3rd gear. Ohh well not worth the swap for one gear but those side skirts and front spoiler in carbon fiber, well that is another question have to think about that for a bit first

Like Peter said they are a German Tuner kind of like Brabus but mainly for BMW's and now they are getting into Ferrari's and Range Rover. The one i saw at this certain dealer was selling for $275,000.00. With the full Hammann treatment. Awsome!

IMO the full hammann treatment is the ultimate for this car! You should do it!

Serious Hamann is the **** for Ferrari's. But don't go for the wheels though, go with some HRE's.

Well the Hamann wheels look nice but i don't think they are lighter than HRE's
