While the Porsche Carrera GT is one of the most
desirable Porsche models ever built, tuning company Gemballa has a long and
rich history of modifying the German supercar. Over a decade ago, Gemballa
introduced the Mirage GT, a heavily upgraded version of the Carrera GT limited
to just 25 units worldwide. The modifications made to the car are comprehensive
and the tuning company recently took to Facebook to confirm that it has just
built and delivered its latest Mirage GT.
According to the tuner, creating the following model
took more than 1,000 hours of work, it’s not hard
to see why. The Mirage GT has been outfitted with a plethora of bespoke
components which make it stand out. For example, the front end is made up of a
new bumper and a hood with a large air vent. Additionally, the front
incorporates headlights with fluorescent yellow accents to give the supercar a
more distinctive look.
The exterior alterations made to the car continue at
the sides with the fitment of black wheels and yellow brake calipers. There are
also new side skirts and carbon fiber doors. While the front and sides of the
car are overt, it is perhaps the rear which is the most radically different.
Gone is the refined and sophisticated rear fascia of
a standard Carrera GT and in its place sits a fixed rear wing, bespoke bumper,
distinct quad tailpipes, and bright yellow engine cover. The Mirage GT also
includes a large roof scoop which stretches its way into the engine bay.
The cabin is outfitted with a bespoke steering wheel
and features a number of leather and Alcantara components, as well as some
yellow accents spread throughout. While the looks may split
opinions, it’s hard to argue with the naturally-aspirated V10 engine which has been
tuned by Gemballa to pack 680 hp.
