2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS
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 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,
we're guessing Gemballa may have a tough time filling orders for its planned
production run of fifty cars.
