The German tuning firm Gemballa has been modifying Porsches since the early 1980s and their most recent endeavor, the Mistrale based on the Porsche Panamera proves to deliver upon all of the wild Gemballa design cues and insane horse power figures that have made them such a successful force in the high end aftermarket.
However the Mistrale isn’t quite ready for retailers, so until then Gemaballa has come up with a new wheel and ire package for the Panamera to hold Porsche tuning enthusiasts over until they can get all the kinks worked out of the full size version. Yesterday we showed you how far a simple set of wheels can go to improve the look of a vehicle from every angle, so Gemballa has come up with a new set of their 22 inch GT Sport wheels that go a long way to upgrade the appearance of the mildly tuned Panamera. The rims are being offered in two styles, one with rivets in the lip and the other without; the new rollers give the Panamera a staggered stance and are sized to fit a set of 265/30 tires up front an a bit wider 315/25 rubber in the rear.
Gemablla isn’t the only aftermarket manufacturer looking to jump on the modified Panamera bandwagon, after seeing what other companies like Mansory, TechArt and even Lumma Design can do with the new German four door GT car it looks like the sky is the limit as to what we can expect to see in terms of highly modified four door Grand Touring cars in the near future, especially as far as the Porsche Panamera is concerned.

The crazy car guys at Gemballa are at it again, having one upped their previous GT 600 tuning package for the powerful Porsche Cayenne Turbo->. This time Gemballa is calling the modified ride GT 750, hinting at the boosted Cayenne’s additional 150 HP under the hood.
If you are familiar with Gemballa’s line of high performance Cayennes then the flared arches and oversized 911 Turbo style intakes in the front bumper should be immediately recognizable, however one small detail that you might overlook is that the Magic White paint on the hood hides the GT750’s large central vent that accompanies the two standard slits. The front bumper also has a pair of fog lamps cleverly hidden behind a black screen that makes them look more discreet, while the wings on either side of the unit transition nicely into the bulging front fenders. On the inside, Aero 3 Sport Exclusive is upgraded with a few fine touches like SPS bucket seats front and rear with color matching suede inserts and carbon fiber trim. The in car entertainment consists of one screen in the middle of the dash up front and a trio of flat black monitors mounted in the headrests and rear tunnel for the back seat passengers. Continuing up the rear divider is a refrigerated compartment that is perfect for keeping some bubbly on ice, after all this is the exclusive model.
The less glamorous and more function part of the new Gemballa GT 750 consists of an electronic lowering module that manipulates the stock air ride suspension to eliminate the gap between the boxed fenders the new 23 inch Gemballa racing wheels that house the Gemballa brake system. The stoppers consist of massively huge multi piston calipers both front and rear as well as cross drilled and slotted rotors all around. However under the hood lies possibly the single most important element of the GT 750, a twin turbocharged Porsche tuned V8 modified with Gemballa’s 750 HP engine kit that transforms this luxury sport utility vehicle into a fire breathing go anywhere limousine.

The German tuning firm Gemballa has been moodifying Porsches since the early 1980s. They currently have a customization program for almost all of the sports car maker’s models: like the Avalanche based on the 997 Carrera, the Tornado and GT Aero versions of the Cayenne SUV as well as the almighty Mirage GT based on the Carrera GT super car. Well today they have added one more name to the mix, Mistrale and it is based on the automaker’s latest four door sensation, the Panamera.
Gemballa goes ahead and practically redesigns the entire exterior of the Panamera in order to create a much more aggressive looking sports sedan filled with all sorts of scoops and other aerodynamic upgrades. The kit includes a redesigned front bumper complete with integrated LED driving lights, hood taken directly from their Cayenne styling department with a pair of long teardrop shaped vents on either side of the bulge, however the tail of the Panaemera is one place where the Gemballa design team spent plenty of time, they not only incorporated an all new rear diffuser into the mix, but also changed the location of the exhaust to exit out through the rear bumper, much like the Carerra GT. Rounding out the appearance package are a set of 5 spoke alloy wheels which not only improves the looks of the car but also make room for a little extra rubber making this particular Panamera stick to the road even better than the factory version.

The wild tuners at Gemballa have just unveiled a new tuning package for the powerful Porsche Cayenne SUV. Dubbed the GT 600 AERO 3 Sport Design kit, the all new aggressive styling package transforms the look of the Cayenne from a potent all terrain sports vehicle into a pavement pounding super car slaying machine. If that bulging body suddenly appeared in our rear view mirrore our first instinct would be to change lanes.
The kit consists of a new GT style hood covered in Magic White paint with vents on either side of the bulge to let hot air escape and lower the under hood temperature. A completely new front fascia with larger air intakes, side mirrors with integrated flashers, an assortment of logos and a few Carbon Gunmetal inserts. While the inside consists of a set of SPC seats up front and a new interior design kit that makes the most of carbon fiber trim. The Gemballa rides lower to the ground thanks to an electronic lowering kit that eliminates any fender gap between the Cayenne and the 22 inch Gemballa racing wheels that house the Gemballa big brake system. Not to mention the new exhaust.
The engine has also been modified to deliver a maximum output of 600 HP @ 6400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque. This much power makes the 0 to 60 MPH sprint last only 4.6 seconds while the tuned Cayenne can now reach a top speed of 177 MPH.

After revealing the Mirage GT Carbon Edition and the Mirage GT Matt Edition, Gemballa has now come up with an all new customization program for the V10 powered Porsche Carrera GT super car.
The new Mirage GT Gold Edition comes with a few exterior accents finished in gold and a golden carbon fiber weave. The Gemballa creation features a host of ultra-light aerodynamics components, a ground-breaking hydraulically height-adjustable coilover kit and a some carbon fiber elements painted gold adorning the interior of the uberCarrera. The engine has been tuned to deliver a maximum output of 650 HP and 464 lb-ft of torque. This insane amount of power means that the Mirage GT Gold Edition can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.7 seconds and hit a top speed of 208 MPH.

The Porsche super tuners Gemballa have just revealed their latest toy, the Mirage GT Matt Edition, a flat black version of the hottest Carrera GT ever made. The matte wears a bodykit that is identical to the Cardon Edition revealed back in February except that this one is given a stealth like appearance by the lack of reflective surface.
The interior is a stark contrast from what’s outside, the colorful center caps on the wheels are the only aesthetic touches to the exterior, but the inside has been recovered in beautiful blue and grey suede. Even the headliner now matched the seat inserts, steering wheel and dash.
The GT is powered by a Gemballa V10 engine that delivers 670 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. The new stealth special edition is capable of hitting a top speed of 208 MPH. The vehicle’s acceleration has been improved as well; reaching 60 MPH in 3.7 seconds and 125 MPH in just 9.7, the stock vehicle can hit those speeds in 3.9 seconds and 9.9 ticks of the chronometer respectively.
The over the top tuners from Gemballa have just reveled their latest take on the Porsche Cayenne with their GT 550 Aero 3 Sport Design package. The latest version of the tuning kit consists of a large mouth front bumper filled with a number of cutouts that increase airflow and the GT EVO hood is equally as perforated. There are turn indicators built into the rear view mirrors and Gemballa side skirts bring the GT 550’s body closer to the ground. Out back there is a large roof mounted rear wing to help keep the back end planted at highway speeds and a redesigned rear bumper that frames the sports exhaust quite well.
The Gemballa GT 550 rides on a set of the company’s signature GT Sport-R wheels measuring a massive 22 inches in diameter that are connected to an electronically controlled lowering module that will eliminate any unsightly fender gap. On the inside, the luxury tuned Cayenne features tinted windows and interior design trim kit that compliments the SPC designed luxury racing buckets for the front seat passengers. Making sense of the name, Gemablla has tuned the turbocharged Porsche SUV to produce 550 HP.
