Porsche 911 Turbo Avalanche GTR 600 By Gemballa
When it comes to older Porsche 911 Turbos, few
tuners have gotten more out of them than Gemballa with their Avalanche GTR 600
customization.
Based on the 997 Turbo, the Avalanche GTR 600
featured a modified chassis, custom front bonnet and rear spoiler, the
Avalanche front skirt, a GTR EVO rear skirt and a GT2 EVO carbon front spoiler
lip.
The modified side intakes, large air
intakes and the fixed rear spoiler complete the body-work modifications, on a
car that was able to hit 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds - which was a
pretty big achievement back in the day.
While the GTR 600 wasn't quite the most powerful
997-based Avalanche, it stood tall over the original model from 1984, itself
one of the fastest automobiles of its time, capable of speeds upwards of 300
km/h.
Inside, the GTR 600 features a lot of Alcantara and
carbon fiber, where the latter can be found pretty much all over, from the
steering wheel to the air vents, all the way to the center console or the
doors.
All in all, huge props to Gemballa for taking us
back in time with these images, as pure driver's cars such as these are worth
remembering from time to time.
