Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS

[5spdfrk]

Love it or hate it, I'd rock it while roasting all four.

Gemballa has created some pretty over-the-top Porsche models in the last few years, but the Tornado 750 GTS takes the cake for overall visual impact and completely unnecessary amounts of horsepower. Using the Cayenne Turbo as a base, Gemballa starts by hacking off an incredible 550+ pounds thanks in part to carbon-fiber bodywork that provides increased downforce and vents air to the front brakes as well as away from the engine compartment. The turbocharged V8 has been upgraded in typical Gemballa fashion - displacement has been increased to 5.0-liters, upgraded pistons and connecting rods have been added, and a racing turbocharger provides additional boost. The result is 750 horsepower and 775 lb-ft torque, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds, and a top speed of 186 mph. Perhaps even more interesting is that all of this mechanical mayhem can be routed exclusively to the rear wheels if the customer so requests it. Astounding performance yes, but with looks only Darth Vader's mother could love and a €400,000 price tag (around $525k USD), we're guessing Gemballa may have a tough time filling orders for its planned production run of fifty cars. Hit the jump for Gemballa's press release and check out the high-res photo gallery below.

Damn, damn, damn.

[canadianrcis]

shits balling

[Bacon]

I'd rock it!..............right back to the dealership for it's resale value and buy a Honda!

[BKgen®]

I'm scared....

[Cool Cat Racing]

I kind of like it. Would never spend that much money on it but I do like it.

[Frög]

I mean, Id rock it but I would never buy it.. I rather have me a classy cayenne turbo and tastefully mod it myself..

Gemballa just isn't what they used to be.. And even then they weren't anything special.. And even then they didn't have much better taste..

Oh and I would buy me a little house with the money I save from buying it and modding it myself..

[okra1981]

I love Gemballa, they've always made some insane Porsches.
And somebody comments on how they never made anything that great. The old air-cooled cars were pretty impressive, but maybe I'm easier to please.

Dude, that's a freaky avatar.^^^

Sorry to threadjack, but I had to respond..

[EJ25RUN]

I like it as well.

Gemballa has really shown itself as a hit or miss brand. Sometimes the designs are horrific and other times inspiring. This one is outrages but a lot of the customized Cayennes are like that.

Like i said. Gemballa is after the more outrages look. Works for some and not for others.

My liking for Gemballa is traced back to the Extremo

Fawkin' wild. Not for me, but definitely crazy. Lots of people do some really crazy stuff with Cayennes.

The RUF Dakara is an interesting modified Cayenne.

I like the rear on the Rinspeed Chopster too.

[EJ25RUN]

Haven't seen the Dakar. Looks a bit overdone to be a RUF.

The Rinspeed does look ace though. :goodjob:

[Alan®]

Never really liked the Cayenne's and I absolutely hate this one

[Dr.G35]

fugly.

Cayenne's are the illest..

[salomon767]

nuts!

[larossa9]

THIS WOULD BE THE BEST RIDE TO SOCCER PRACTICE EVAR!!!!

[The Youngn]

Cayenne's are the illest..
:yes: I want a GTS

[Frög]

I want a GTS

Manual! YES!!!

I have a bonner!

[Alan®]

Cayenne's are the illest..
Granted do I love the powerplant? Absolutely I love the interior but i don't like most of them. Personally if I wanted a fast SUV I'd totally grab a G55

The G is definitely pimp, no doubt about that.. Still though, cayenne imo.. :cheers:

I think the Dakara looks pretty nice except for the bodywork towards the rear...looks a bit bloated. The Rinspeed is very cool, but the front end looks to be a bit overdone. Overall it's nice though.

I didn't even know the Cayenne was available with a manual until I saw my uncle's friend's Cayenne V-6 with a six-speed.

I'd still rather have a Touareg with the V-10 TDI for $15,000 less.

[EJ25RUN]

Manual! YES!!!

I have a bonner!

Damn right. I could care less about the extra power of the turbo. The manual is the one for me.

[Elbow]

I like it, looks intimidating as hell.

[Drummerboy]

Tornado GTS- $525,000.00 USD
Enough suede brushes to clean the interior- $54.79 USD
Being "That Guy" at little Billy soccer practice- Priceless

That's cuz you're a fucking idiot. :yes:

[EJ25RUN]

This Cayenne can't pull a 747. So, I'm definitely seeing where he's coming from.

[Brian*]

I fucking love it!

[_Christian_]

Cool, it's fast but could the appearance not be a little more subtle? It's just plain HIDEOUS!!

:no: Those are just as bad. Just goes to show that money can't buy taste.

[VooDooXII]

That's cuz you're a fucking idiot. :yes:

This "fucking idiot" loves his diesel torque and isn't so image-conscious that he needs a Porsche badge on an SUV as well.

Haha, they're essentially the same vehicle. I don't see the point in a 180 mph SUV.

[Z0_o6]

I love it. It is mean lookin as hell.

Careful, you'll hurt will's feelings by disagreeing with him.

Then he'll throw his best E thug skills on you. (Oh noes)


bwahahaha

hey guy. this e-thug will seriously injure you IRL. don't mistake me for a punk.

and to voodoo;
Clearly you don't care what you drive, you have a saab, and as far as purchasing either of these vehicles i would never do it. however if someone said hey here's 2 vehicles which one do you want for free? you'd be an idiot to choose anything but the porsche. unless you've got down syndrome. I could care less about image, this gemball porsche just happens to be a million times nicer than the VW and im sure in the long run much more reliable :)

With every post you make you try to intimidate and ridicule instead of proving your point in an adult manner.

We have opinions and i respect those that can back theirs up with facts. You have some image of the world that you expect everyone to see.

I'll defend Porsche in almost any context but i also realize that VW Group's new diesels are the best in the world. That is why Porsche's Cayenne's will feature them in the coming years.

Take a break from trying to hardass your way through conversations.

Those that know me off of IA will tell you im just as cool and genuine a guy as i am on the site.

I love the interior of this thing, I alwayed loved Gembella widebody cars.

Hahaha what the hell? Where is this coming from?

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. It's just a car that you and I probably will never be able to afford or find.
