Borrowing its name from the 1985 Avalanche, a crazy
395 hp version of the Porsche 930 Turbo with pop headlights and Testarossa–like
side strakes, the newest incarnation of Gemballa’s 911 was heading to Geneva show for its world premiere.
It’s built around the already insane 991 Turbo with
a 540 horsepower flat-six that will dispatch the zero to 96 km/h in as low as 2.9
seconds with the optional Chrono Package (0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds).
Gemballa says it has taken the 911 Turbo’s 3.8-liter
lump to a whole different level with an output in excess of 820 PS and
more than 948 Nm, with an acceleration to match.
The German company that was
acquired in 2010 by Korbach, following the death of its founder, Uwe Gemballa,
dropped two sketches of the Avalanche. They show the car in a plum crazy-esque
purple paint job wearing a stupidly massive rear wing, carbon fiber spoilers, a
hood scoop, modified rear and the firm’s signature rims.
