For almost thirty years, automobile manufacturer Gemballa has shown us what its capable of when it comes to the development and production of exclusive programs for Porsche sports cars. Throughout its turbulent history they have set the standards on getting the best possible performance and unique design implemented into an existing full production sports car. Its doesn’t go unsaid that the brand has left its mark upon the tuning world.<\/p>\n

We were given the opportunity to experience the Gemballa heritage for a full long day in bright sunny weather. Not one, but two keys were handed to the GTspirit team who gathered in Leonberg, Germany. One belonged to a tuned sports car offering more than 750hp, which we will not discuss right here, but in a few weeks time. For now we will share our story on the latest Gemballa Mirage GT built by the car specialist from Southern Germany; the Matt Blue Edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years a small group of Mirage GTs have been produced. A total of 19 vehicles exist globally, making it one of the most exclusive and rare supercars out there. The basis for the vehicle is the Carrera GT, Porsche’s fastest and most expensive supercar in its time, challenging the Ferrari Enzo and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for the title of ultimate supercar of the early twenty-first century.<\/p>\n
