Porsche Carrera Mirage GT Gemballa (2007)








Overview:

The Carrera GT engine is a dream. A meaty 5.7-litre V10 boasting 612 horsepower. What more could one want? More power of course! Gemballa operates on the same principle as racing drivers: "You can never have too much power". By modifying the engine management electronics, Gemballa has been able to squeeze out a further 60 bhp of power and 15 lb-ft more torque for the V10, slicing off 0.1 seconds off the time it takes to go from 0 to 62 mph. The added performance has also been aided by a new, fully stainless steel exhaust system that now resounds through four tail pipes instead of the standard two. Gemballa has positioned the two extra tail pipes where the reverse and fog warning lamps used to be. The tuning specialist has relocated the two lamps to beneath the rear diffuser. With the Gemballa body, the Mirage GT looks like it is planning to enter the Le Mans 24-hour race. The most conspicuous change to the front are the additional air intakes on the new front spoiler. In addition, Gemballa embellished the component with a spoiler lip. The bonnet has also been replaced. In the area between the wheel housing and door Gemballa has replaced the standard side panels with its own mudguards, with reshaped openings which blend harmoniously with the original design. Down below, new side skirts lend the vehicle a muscular line. They also come with a cooling vent for the breaks at the rear. One thing is certain! The racing look is enhanced by the new rear skirt, with its aerodynamically optimized mid section for more downforce on the rear axle.

Porsche... hmm. Too...small for me. Don't get me wrong, I like speed, but the design doesn't appeal to me that much.
