With the new GEMBALLA GTR 650 Avalanche, based on the Porsche 997 Carrera, the Leonberg, Germany Porsche conversion specialist GEMBALLA has created THE absolute dream car for the 2006 sports car year, optionally on 19” or 20” wheels. This ultimate German sports car will be available to a selected clientele starting next year. With this refined, ultra-sporty and equally reliable automobile, GEMBALLA is continuing in its very own great tradition of sports car construction. The GEMBALLA Avalanche, Mirage and Cyrrus models from the 80’s didn’t earn their legendary reputation for no reason.
The performance of the 2006 dream car is already the first attention-getter. The GEMBALLA GTR 650 Avalanche’s motor boasts a breathtaking 650 hp. Part of the motor’s conversion by the GEMBALLA engineers included eliciting an impressive 820 Nm torque, guaranteed to bring a satisfied smile to the driver’s lips already at 4800 RPM. In comparison, the standard Porsche 997 model features maximum 400 Nm torque at 4600 RPM. The difference puts the GTR 650 Avalanche’s sprinting qualities in a class all their own. The GTR 650 Avalanche reaches the 200 km/h mark in only 11.2 seconds, and its top speed leaves doubters in the dust: The irrepressible GTR 650 Avalanche engine delivers a maximum tempo of up to 335 km/h.
But peak performance wasn’t the only item at the top of the GEMBALLA engineers’ spec sheet. The Porsche conversion specialists placed just as much emphasis on the safety and durability of the Avalanche. Titanium piston rods, an intake system specially developed by GEMBALLA, three intercoolers and a special turbo configuration ensure GEMBALLA pleasure for a long time to come. And its lucky owner only has to share this pleasure with one passenger, because for safety reasons, from 650 hp the GTR 650 Avalanche is only available as a two-seater.
Massive eight-piston brake calipers and accordingly sized 380 millimeter diameter perforated disk brakes make sure the Avalanche also slows to a safe stop. The GTR 650 Avalanche sits on 19” wheels with tires sizes of 235 (front) and 315 (rear). The new 20” racing wheels are also optionally available, with tire sizes of 245 (front) and 325 (rear). For the particularly ambitious driver who would like to push the GTR 650 Avalanche’s envelope, for example on the ‘Nordschleife’, GEMBALLA also offers an optional roll bar.
The new Avalanche’s body and interior are equally as exclusive and unique as its driving performance and safety components. All of its add-on components are made of carbon. Fenders and sidewalls are all metal. And the future owner of the GTR 650 Avalanche can also look forward to GEMBALLA sport seats, a GEMBALLA sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals. Starting at 240,000 Euros, the new GEMBALLA dream car becomes tangible sports car euphoria.
i would sell my soul for that car
i second that
I third that. I really like the black rendition.
Or maybe I’d sell my soul for at least an 86 snub nose I think they were 935s(?)
OH FUCK. i really like those. i was iffy on the styling in the spy shots, but those cars right there are amazing to me. i love the black, and i would love to see it in white. same black wheels though. oh fuck its so hott
Form following function.
Porsche>*
We should start a NYspeed auto history book club. :tup:
I think you mean “slant” nose.
Not exactly, the 996 was pretty ugly compared to the other generations IMO. Looked kind of like a squashed jellybean. This version looks more like the classic style from the 80’s.
Doesn’t matter to me anymore though as I lost all respect for the company when they started making SUVs. (before anyone says they had to in order to save the company, I have one word for you: Lotus. Best sales year ever by going back to their roots and staying true to their founder’s philosophy.)
Oh, and at least they didn’t Bangle the design…
That would explain why when I searched google, it kept coming up with automatic rifles and pistols :smash2:
Yes, a Slant Nose is what I would like and it looks like they made them in the 90s too:
Pop-up headlights FTW… 
well, they tried to change in the late 70s-mid 80s with the 924, 944, 928 and the 968<----(yummy) but it was not well received. it seems that people who buy porsches want them to look and possess porsche characteristics. eventhough the front engine rear drive models of that era perhaps have greater potential than the rear drive rear engine models especailly in balance, you really need to drive a 911 to understand what makes a porsche a porsche.
i hate how you’ve driven so many hot cars. :jealous:
sometimes I <3 my job.
other times it sucks. like the fact that i have been there 5 years and still dont have a sweet jacket like yours

Porsche is so lame… how the hell can they justify their existance and price range with cars that ALL LOOK THE SAME? (again?)
:bloated: ^
FYI. 480hp, 510ft/lbs of torque with variable vane turbos.
And the Viper looks that much different? :gotme:
