Die-hard enthusiasts and moneyed customers continue to debate whether the Porsche Cayenne – now in its second iteration – is deserving of the Porsche badge, but while its driving dynamics have been lauded, most can agree that the aesthetics are less than superlative. Many aftermarket firms have sought to improve the Cayenne's looks – some with more success than others. German tuning firm Hamann Motorsports, which should be no stranger to regular visitors of this page having done up everything from the Ferrari 599 to the MINI, is the latest.

Called the Cyclone, the Hamann kit gives the Cayenne the full wide-body treatment. There's a front bumper with a pair of integrated LED lamps, flaired wheel arches, a roof spoiler and a diffuser around back. You'll also notice new taillight covers around back. The brakes have been upgraded to 380mm slotted and ventilated discs grabbed by eight-piston calipers up front and four in the back. The pneumatic suspension drops the ride height by 35 mm, and a new 4-pipe exhaust system improves the sound. Buyers can also opt for one of two rolling stock packages in either 22 or 23 inches (monstrous either way).

Hamann also offers a nearly endless spectrum of options for customizing the interior, and the demo car features a truly unique snakeskin upholstery job "complimented" by a 36-piece carbon fiber interior trim kit, velour carpeting and aluminum pedals. Just check out the images in the gallery below. We've also got the full press release after the jump.
