Gemballa is back with the GTR 8XX EVO-R!

Shifting the Turbo to a new level.

It’s been more than a year since Gemballa has started off with a new car, the last of which was their new Avalanche model at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. There’s been some controversy and uncertainty for the German company that made its name in the 1980s after the founder, Uwe Gemballa, vanished and was killed.

Now, the current owner, Steffen Korbach, is hoping to have some exposure and restart the things again after some troublesome years with the new Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R. Based on the Porsche 911 Turbo or 911 Turbo S, the new GTR 8XX EVO-R is a full-on upgrade kit, the highlights of which are a new carbon fiber aerodynamic kit and a tuned flat-six at the rear.

The Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R offers the Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S a more dramatic and imposing presence along with quite a good airflow and downforce than before. The entire kit is created from carbon fiber in a matte or gloss finish. Starting things off are new fender extensions that broaden the front axle by 30 mm and the rear by 50 mm.

With that extra width, Gemballa provided the GTR 8XX EVO-R a new front lip, side flics, side sills, front hood, fender engine intakes, engine cover insert, rear diffuser, and new rear spoiler with side profiles. The new aerodynamics are reminiscent of the 993-generation 911 GT2.

Customers can also raise the fun level even more with the new engine upgrade package in the Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R. Here, the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine gains a whole host up upgrades and modifications to enhance output all the way up to 818 horsepower at 7,050 RPM and 810 lb-ft. of torque at a low 3,920 RPM.

This increase in outcome allows the Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R to acceleration from 0-62 mph in just 2.38 seconds and reach 124 mph in just 7.5 seconds. Top speed is at the 230 mph mark, as per Gemballa.

The Gemballa GTR 8XX EVO-R will be provided with lots of other modifications such as new wheels, tires, roll cage, interior accessories, and more. Gemballa hasn’t disclosed the pricing or availability for their newest twin-turbo monster, but expecting to be too costly and rare.
