I've seen one of their car, Turbo Cayenne with full Gemballa Treatment including 23inch wheels....MAD....
Apparently the 600GTR is absolutely ballistic. Optioned up is about another 200k or so on top of the turbo, but it will rival a zonda for accelleration, and laps the nurburgring I think 30 seconds quicker than the quickest factory 911. Power is around 600bhp. Insane...
Here's a brief rundown
"One look at the leaden sky fills me with foreboding. Wet roads are not an ideal place to meet -- and come to terms with -- a 650hp supercoupe, stripped of everything but the bare necessities. Even the doors have been replaced with ultra lightweight carbon fibre shells, Perspex instead of glass: A best guess suggests they weigh less than 5kg each.
It's Mr Gemballa's personal car I'll be driving. Once a 911 Turbo, Gemballa's enhancements are too much for the front axle and drive-shaft to handle, so where a standard 911 Turbo is all-wheel drive, this baby is rear-wheel drive only. Oh, and the traction control has been deleted.
With 650hp and a kerb weight of just 1380kg, the Gemballa GTR600 Evo has a power-to-weight ratio comparable to that of Mark Skaife's V8 Supercar. And it's 100 percent street legal. In Germany, at least. Unique Cars has flown halfway around the world for this story, and no passing shower is going to stop me. Apparently the shower's been passing for a week now. Rain be buggered, our time behind the wheel of a Gemballa GTR is at hand.
The first suggestion was to sample the 3.6-litre biturbo GTR's delights on some of Germany's twistier back roads through the Black Forest, but even my two remaining brain cells could add 650 and wet roads together, and come up with expensive, painful disaster. So it was decided to limit our time to a few laps of the Stuttgart-Frankfurt autobahn. The same one I'd maxxed the Ford Focus rental-car out to 200km/h on just an hour before. Better than nothing...
Idiocy. Lunacy. And yet it works. We're blistering along a slightly soggy and well-stocked autobahn at a shade under 250km/h. A V8 BMW thinks twice about merging in front of us; his blinker stops almost as soon as it started. We pass him in a split second. At 150km/h, he was standing still. And still the Porsche piles on the speed. Three-hundred is so close. My heart says go for it, plant the boot, what'll she do? The brain suggests that this kind of speed, with traffic around, on a wet road is too risky. In Australia this is lock-'em up territory, even in the Northern Territory. In Germany it works because the drivers seem more attentive, more alert than back home. The heart wins. The right leg flexes, mashing the throttle to the carpet.
Crunch! In the blink of an eye we went from full-noise acceleration to what felt like hard braking - at an indicated 290km/h - on a public road. What the hell? Did I break it? Gemballa Design's workshop manager, our test-drive chaperone, shouts over the shrieking wind. He explains the sudden lack of acceleration: "It's fitted with gear ratios to suit the short track at Hockenheim. At 280km/h it hits the rev limiter. With the other gearbox we can do 347km/h." Oh, right. Thanks.
Nothing for it, then. Hit the brakes and the GTR reaches six feet through the tarmac, grabbing the earth by the short and curlies and dropping back to double digits in seconds. Throw the clutch, slot the six-speeder into third and dump the throttle... Wheee!! Fourth... Fifth... Sixth... Crunch! Again... and again..."
