Porsche Carrera GT reincarnated as Gemballa Mirage GT

Euro-tuner Gemballa, known for modifying Porsches and referring to themselves as a real car manufacturer, have now created what they call the “ultimate super sports car,” dubbing it the Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition. Of course, it is based on the Porsche Carrera GT.

The Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition will be limited to only 5 pieces only. Various body panels are made of carbon-fiber, and many of the original Carrera GT body parts have been replaced with more aerodynamic pieces, integrating intakes, spoilers and brake ducts into the design.

The Gemballa Mirage GT uses a tuned ECU and a special exhaust system with free-flow catalytic converters. Due to its 670 hp at 8000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque at 5700 rpm, the V10 allows 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds. The top speed is over 209 mph, and faster than the standard Carrera GT. Gemballa also fits a sports clutch with special pads for easier stop-and-go in city traffic.

Included are four individually-adjustable coilover dampers with progressively-coiled double springs. For everyday use, the electro-hydraulic height-adjustment makes it possible to lift the body by more than an inch to allow driving over obstacles. Also by pushing a button or by reaching 50 mph, the GT lowers itself to its original level. Gemballa also adds forged alloy wheels, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear.

The interior uses fine leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiber. The newly-designed center console is entirely made of carbon-fiber and houses the Gemballa Multimedia unit and Data Control System. Also included is the full-size airbag sports steering wheel.

The Gemballa Mirage Carbon Edition, limited to five only, is priced starting at the equivalent of $420,000 without including the price of the base Porsche Carrera GT.
