Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT
One of the most incredibly astounding Porsche’s I have ever seen. Gemballa has beautifully designed a wonderful piece of artwork. The spectacular end product answers to the name of Gemballa Mirage GT and outshines its production-line counterpart in every respect. The stock Carrera GT engine is an extremely powerful 5.7-litre V10 boasting 612 horsepower. One would think that would quench the thirst for enough power, Gemballa seems to think otherwise. By modifying the engine management electronics, Gemballa has been able to bump an additional 60 bhp of power and 15 lb-ft more torque out of the V10, slicing off 0.1 seconds off the overall time it takes going from 0 to 62 mph. Also adding performance through a 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.
The Gemballa body kit states an aggressive race ready look. All the body parts used on the Mirage GT are composed of carbon fibre, creating an extremely light but expensive way to effectively control downforce and esthetics. The massive rear wing provides great downforce over the production line. Go big or go home I suppose. With Gemballa updating the wheels to match the overall esthetics with three-part rims. The fully-milled spoke wheel centre front 9.5 x 19 inch and back 12.5 x 20 inch. Excellent road holding is guaranteed on the front axle by 265/35 R19 tires and on the rear axle by 335/30 R20 tires.
The aggressive look in the interior continues to flow inside the cabin. Gemballa has restyled the central console, which likewise consists of this high-grade material. There are several carbon fibre interior components such as the door cladding. Gemballa has also integrated a multimedia touch-screen information system into the central console, keeping in mind this is a supercar. The Gemballa Mirage GT also received an aftermarket steering wheel to keep you headed in the right direction.

I’m actually a little tired of all these tuner cars. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great post and a good write up. It’s just what’s the cost for this? and for what? 0.1 seconds faster and some bigger wheels, etc.
993C4S,
Some of the mods can become very expensive. Around $100k+. Some people like them, others dont. The good news is everyone has different tastes in this world. Could you imagine how boring it would be if we all liked the same cars!
