The custom interpretations of the Porsche supercar Carrera GT by Gemballa made eyes pop and made the tuning house as the best in modifying the Carrera GT. The German tuner is now toying with the Carbon Edition of the Mirage GT first seen in February. Everyone holds their breath in anticipation of amazing variations.
Gemballa will take the Mirage into new heights but with a certain exclusivity with the famous tuner producing only five samples.
The Gemballa GT release can whoop some rivals on the road with 750 horsepower. The Carbon Edition runs with a 670hp power plant with a torque of 465lb-ft. Imagine riding the untweaked Carbon Edition which is 50hp more powerful than the Carrera GT stock. What Gemballa did to the Mirage brings an extra shot of excitement with every chance behind the wheel.
The Gemballa achievement is not all hype. It is backed up by stats. The Gemballa tuned GT can blast from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Give it 9.7 seconds and it is at lightning speed of 124mph. The numbers are a bit faster than the stock record. The boost also gave the GT a top speed of 208 mph or 335 km/h.
The Carbon Edition boasts of carbon accents on a black and white color scheme. A hydraulic coilover with adjustable height was also installed to help with the handling and negotiation of bumps on the road.
The Gemballa GT Carbon Edition has a hefty tag of €298000 with the tuner requiring the clients to supply their own Carrera GT.
