Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition based on the Porsche Carrera GT

The Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition based on the Porsche Carrera GT is finally here. Gemballa, the renowned German tuner has announced it will make just five examples. Obviously, that will makes the Carbon Edition very exclusively and costly.

For the Carbon Edition, Gemballa hasn’t place too much emphasis on the power output but focus on a simple bi-color design scheme. Fromm the name of the car, we know that there are lots of carbon fiber parts. That’s true! The Carbon Edition adds lots of exposed carbon fiber accents, a black-on-white color scheme and custom alloy wheels. A hydraulic height-adjustable coilover kit is also supplied to improve handling, as well as protect the car when any steep bumps need to be conquered.
We know that some of Gemballa's GTs have put out as much as 750hp (560kW), but the Carbon Edition is satisfied with 670hp (500kW) on tap. That's still about 50hp (40kW) more than the stock Carrera GT, however, and with 465lb-ft (630Nm) of torque, it's sure to be a fun ride in any gear.

Gemballa's claimed performance stats back that up: 0-62mph (100km/h) takes 3.7 seconds, and it'll hit 124mph (200km/h) in just 9.7. Both of those figures shave two tenths of a second from the stock times, and the power boost takes top speed up to at least 208mph (335km/h).

Pricing for the upgrade starts at €298,000 (approximately $426,000), but they don't provide the original Carrera GT and so customer is required to supply their own Carrera GT.
