Gemballa Returns with Tornado Tuning Package for the New Porsche Cayenne

Written By nyit on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 | 1:18 PM


German tuning specialist Gemballa has announced a comprehensive package of goodies for the Porsche Cayenne called Tornado. This is the company’s first creation since former CEO and founder Uwe Gemballa was found dead in South Africa, after allegedly being involved in a money laundering scheme with a wanted Czech felon.

Starting with the bodykit, most tuners apply carbon fiber body panels by bonding them to modified factory steel pieces. However, this method doesn’t lighten the car and according to current Gemballa CEO, Andreas Schwarz, it’s not the way these materials should be used. “Carbon-fibre is a high strength, low weight structural material that needs to be used honestly, and not just for decoration”, Mr. Schwarz said.

Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition with 670HP Based on the Porsche Carrera GT

Written By nyit on Friday, June 5, 2009 | 2:03 PM

Since the early 1980s, Gemballa has been modifying Porsche cars of all sorts. Their latest creation is the Mirage GT Carbon Edition which is based on the Porsche Carrera GT that went out of production in 2006 after a limited run of a mere 1,270 examples. Understandably, the German firm will not sell the Mirage GT as a complete vehicle with those interested having to provide the donor car. Production of the Mirage GT Carbon Edition package that consists of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades will be limited to 5 copies with the price set at €298,000 or about $423,000 US.

Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT - Carscoop As the car's name suggests, the Mirage GT comes with a carbon fiber aero kit that includes a front apron with larger intakes, new bonnet and front wings, side skirts with special air ducts, a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser, roof air scoop and an enlarged rear wing with an adjustable Gurney flap.

The interior of the Carrera GT is also upgraded with carbon fiber trim, new leather upholstery, a multimedia unit and a Gemballa design sport steering wheel with a full size airbag.

Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT - Carscoop No Gemballa model is complete without mechanical upgrades and as such, the Carrera GT's standard V10 engine has received a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that boosts output from 612HP to 670HP at 8,000 rpm and maximum torque to 630Nm or 465-lbs/ft delivered at 5,700 rpm. The result is a top speed of 335km/h or 208mph while acceleration from zero to 100km/h (62mph) comes in 3.7 seconds.

The package also includes a sports clutch and a hydraulic height-adjustable coilover kit that allows the driver to raise the car's road height by 45mm or 1.77-in. at the front- and rear axle while the kit is rounded off with a new set of alloy wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR19 tires up front and 335/30 ZR20 at the back.

Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS: One Big, Bad Modded Porsche Cayenne

Written By nyit on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 | 3:54 PM

Sometimes, a vehicle's name is worth more than a thousand photos or a thousand words. Like, when you hear the name Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS, you know that what you're about to see ain't going to be pretty or puny... In this case, we're talking about Gemballa's heavily modified Cayenne proposal that comes with "Mad-Max" looks, an upgraded turbocharged V8 engine with 750HP and on top of that, a weight reduction of 250kg or 551 pounds over the standard Cayenne Turbo upon which it is based.

Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS Porsche Cayenne  - CarscoopThe extensive engine mods include the increase of the V8's displacement from 4.8- to 5.0-liters and the fitment of fortified forged pistons, special connecting rods, racing turbochargers along with a new air intercooler plus a remapping of the ECU. The result is an impressive output of 750HP at 6,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,050Nm or 774-lbs/ft at 3200 rpm. The Tornado 750 GTS accelerates from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed in excess of 300 km/h or 187mph.

To put all that power on the road in a politically correct manner, Gemballa's engineers outfitted the Cayenne with a sports suspension that includes an adjustable coilover kit that allows the lowering of the car by up to 70mm. The Tornado 750 GTS rides on a set of extra light 22-inch alloy wheels shod in 335/25 Z22 high performance tires while stopping power is provided by a new braking system with 6-piston brake callipers and 420mm discs at the front axle and 4-piston brake callipers with 380mm discs at the rear axle.

Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS Porsche Cayenne  - CarscoopOn the outside, Gemballa's team turned the Cayenne into a vehicle that could easily have had a role in the movie Death Race. Aerodynamic accessories aside, one of the highlights is the bonnet which has been 'fused' with the front wings and now opens as a whole.

Inside, Gemballa opted for a four-seat layout while the cabin has been upgraded with new materials and a redesigned center console hosting the lifted gearbox and the Data Control System.

The German tuning house said that the Tornado 750 GTS will be built in a limited number of 50 units with prices set at €400,000 or about $520,000 US.

Aww… Little Prince Marcus of Germany Wrecks His Gemballa Porsche Carrera GT

Written By nyit on Thursday, July 24, 2008 | 8:02 AM

When you’re the Prince of Anhalt (yes, we were tempted to play around with that word…), Duke of Saxony and Westphalia, Count of Askania as well as being the “King” of the tabledance club chain “Pure Platinum”, you can afford to be happy even when you destroy a supercar like the Gemballa Porsche Carrera GT on a race track. Heck, with that kind of money you can even post photos of your crashed supercar on your personal website so everyone in the world can see your "royal" accomplishments… -Photo gallery after the jump
