Gemballa's troubles seem like distant memories now. It's not really worth rehashing all the details of the company's recent history; instead, we can celebrate how it has rebounded from it to produce some pretty impressive tuning programs.
It's most recent project will be on display at this year's Essen Motor Show->ke2128 and by all accounts, it's going to be a pretty incredible project. The program, called the GTP 700, is for the upgraded Porsche Panamera Turbo and like the name indicates, it gives the German sedan->ke1 quite a hefty performance boost, increasing the output from the already-impressive 520 horsepower to an incredible 700 horsepower.
With the Panamera carrying a 4.8-liter, V-8 twin-turbo engine, that spike in output is made more impressive by the fact that Gemballa was able to massage the modification to ensure that no stones were left unturned in giving the Panamera Turbo that jump in numbers.
No word yet on how the increased output translates to performance numbers, but considering that the standard Panamera Turbo already hits 60 mph in 3.9 seconds to go with a top speed of 189 mph, we won't be surprised if the final numbers approach 3.5 seconds with a top speed of around 205 mph.

2014 Porsche Panamera
Since debuting a few years ago as Porsche’s resident luxury sports saloon, the Porsche Panamera has definitely captured many hearts and minds in the industry.
It’s design didn’t endear itself to a significant amount of the population, but as Porsche’s four-door sedan, there’s no denying that power and function were placed as premium qualities for the German vehicle.
The Panamera also has a multitude of engine options at its disposal, including a 4.8-liter, V-8 engine that can produce as much as 520 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to go with a 0-to-60 mph time of just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 189 mph.
