Check Out The Gemballa Porsche
|
The Gemballa is all about performance and it's not for the inexperienced. No this is a car for the driver with plenty of skill. The Gemballa design is truly exclusive and worth every dime for the serious driver that wants only the best in performance. You'll find yourself in control of a whopping 650 HP and it has been stripped to the basics to reduce weight. In fact it is so stripped even the doors have been replaced with light weight carbon fiber shells and Perspex rather than glass. Rear wheel drive and the traction control has been scrapped so the handling is entirely different from anything else you'll have ever driven. Curb weight is just 1380 kg with 650 HP. Do the math and you'll instantly realize the potential here. The power to weight ratio is comparable to what you'd find in the Skaife V8 super car but it's street legal. Picture this. Twisty, winding roads, on a warm day with dry pavement. Now that's a ride! 250 km/hr is no problem! But rain and the Gemballa don't mix too well. In fact because the combination is so deadly it was decided some restrictions needed to be placed on the street version. So if 250 km/hr isn't a problem if one was actually engaging ones brain one might determine that speed like that combined with wet roads and traffic could only lead to trouble. In Germany it tends result in fewer accidents because of the road system. But never the less one has to admit not a great combination anywhere. Trouble is it's hard to keep the foot off the gas petal no matter what the road conditions. Thomp on the petal and before you can blink you'll be doing 290 km/h on that public road. As you whip threw those gears - first, second, third, forth, fifth, and then sixth, you'll feel a sense of freedom like nothing you've experienced before. Wow what a ride! The Gemballa is actually based on the Porsche 997 Carrera platform. And 2006 sees it once again hit the streets with it's regular clientele quick to buy into this ultra sporty car that's also extremely reliable. The performance of this dream car continues to draw attention around the globe. Unless you've actually experienced 605 lb ft of torque it's will be hard to imagine. The 2006 boasts top speeds of 208 mph putting it in a class all unto itself. And if the powerhouse isn't enough than the body styling is just enough to take it truly over the top. And this year you even get 20" racing wheels for the really ambitious driver. So whether you choose the 2006 Gemballa Porsche or an older classic you'll experience nothing quite like it with any other automobile on the market. The question is are you up for the challenge?
