GEMBALLA'S MONSTROUS 828HP 911 TURBO

Because you can never have too much power

To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson, we give you the Gemballa GT Concept. When you absolutely, positively have to blow everyone else off the road, accept no substitute. Yes, there may be cars that boast bigger numbers than the 828hp and 702lb ft that Gemballa's new GT Concept brings to the supercar party. But then 911 Turbos tend to punch above their weight.

Put it another way, what with a zero to 62mph time of 2.38 seconds, zero to 124mph in 7.5 seconds and a top speed of 224mph, it's hard to imagine any car pulling a gap in the real world with this monster.

If you're wondering how all that is achieved, there's more to it that a quick ECU remap. It all starts with bigger inlet and exhaust ports, freer flowing manifolds and enlarged valves. The compression ratio, meanwhile, is reduced which in turn is countered by uprated turbos capable of greater boost. Deep down in the block, Gemballa has specified stronger connecting rods. Finishing touches include an all-new exhaust system and new maps for both ECU and PDK gearbox.

In typical Gemballa form, the GT Concept looks every bit as homicidal as the performance figures. Bolt-on arches extend the front and rear tracks by 30mm and 50mm respectively, while a massive rear wing, epic sill extensions and a hefty front splitter round out the aero and body styling package.

As for pricing, we're talking €25,490 for the body bits, €7150 for the 21-inch rims and €49,800 for the engine upgrades. That makes for a grand total of €88,440, or roughly £70,000 in old money. But then if you had to ask, you probably couldn't afford it. Head to gemballa.com.
