Every two years, thousands of visitors from Arab and Asian countries converge on Dubai, whose International Convention and Exhibition Centre plays host to the largest and most exclusive automobile exhibition in the Middle East.

GEMBALLA presents the 10th-14th November 2011 its current design highlights MISTRALE and TORNADO.

If the highest levels of individuality and exclusivity are some of the requirements for greatness, then these offerings from GEMBALLA surely qualify:

The GEMBALLA TORNADO, based on the Porsche Cayenne (958)
The GEMBALLA MISTRALE based on the Porsche Panamera (970)

Design, cutting edge technology and the finest materials are the most important ingredients in the transformation of these fine cars into something really unique.

The GEMBALLA TORNADO and the GEMBALLA MISTRALE undergo a near-complete reconstruction of their outer bodyshells, with the majority of the steel panels replaced by light and strong carbon-fibre equivalents made to GEMBALLA’s unique designs.

“We have significantly reduced weight, but without compromising strength, safety or comfort,” explained Andreas Schwarz, CEO of GEMBALLA GmbH.

“Rather than cutting into the steel panels and bonding on new parts, as is common in the aftermarket industry, we completely replace entire panels with bespoke carbon-fibre ones that use the original mounting points,” he said. “These new panels, which include the bonnet, front wings, doors, front and rear bumper/valance, save a total of 70kg.”

The big wheel arches are filled with GEMBALLA’S 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. Forged rather than cast, these wheels are stronger than the original 20-inch OE equivalents, but are around the same weight.

The new high performance brake system was developed in collaboration with Brembo, exclusively for the MISTRALE and TORNADO. Massive 411mm cross-drilled, vented discs with six-piston monoblock calipers in front are partnered by 380mm cross-drilled, vented discs with four-piston fixed calipers at the rear.

The first stage of power upgrade for the twin-turbo V8 engine provides 580hp for the Cayenne/TORNADO, and 610hp for the Panamera/MISTRALE. The latter conversion is accompanied by a healthy 850Nm of torque.

Really power hungry customers can opt for Stage 2, which gives both cars 721 hp, and around 1,000Nm of torque. This significant output is achieved through the use of larger turbochargers, a modified intake system, high efficiency intercoolers, sports exhaust, free-flow catalytic converters and bespoke ECU remapping.

“Optimized efficiency and bespoke high quality components allow us to achieve this impressive output on a relatively low 1.1 bar of boost,” said Schwarz. “The relatively low stress imposed on the engine ensures long term durability and reliability in everyday use.”

GEMBALLA bespoke interiors are world renowned, and the cabins of these cars showcase the company’s skill and craftsmanship, with perfectly color co-ordinated upholstery fashioned from the finest leathers and Alcantara.

Precision with emotion, right down to the smallest detail is the watchword at GEMBALLA, and the fact that everything is done to individual requirements, means that no two vehicle will be the same.

On the occasion of the 30-year Anniversary of GEMBALLA, only 30 each of the GEMBALLA TORNADO and GEMBALLA MISTRALE models will be made for selected customers.

1. LIVE COVERAGE: Dunlop 24H of Dubai

You're reading GEMBALLA MISTRALE and TORNADO at the Dubai Motor Show 2011 originally posted on oneighturbo.com. If you've enjoyed this article, be sure and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube.

Gemballa GmbH is proud to announce the world debut of two works of automotive art, presented on Stand A24 of the 2011 Top Marques Monaco Show, from 14-17th April.

Experts call Top Marques Monaco “the world’s most exclusive car show” with good reason. It is the only international motor show where the most exclusive names in the automotive industry come together under one roof.

The unique venue for this high-end car enthusiasts’ show is the Grimaldi Forum, located in the heart of Monte Carlo. Each year, The Show is opened by HRH Prince Albert of Monaco, patron of the event and connoisseur of fine automobiles.

Like Monaco itself, the Top Marques Monaco is not purely motoring centric. As with this gem of a location on the Côte d’Azur, it is a showcase for related luxury activities like yachting, exclusive travel and luxury brands.

1. Introducing the Gemballa Mistrale based on Porsche Panamera models

You're reading GEMBALLA launches new wheelset for the Porsche Panamera originally posted on oneighturbo.com. If you've enjoyed this article, be sure and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube.

Right at the market introduction of the Porsche Panamera, GEMBALLA Automobiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG for the first time publishes images of the GEMBALLA MISTRALE and presents fascinating features. The design of the GEMBALLA luxury limousine is even more dynamic, more striking and significantly more exclusive than its serial counterpart. For perfect surface quality and custom-fit processing of the newly designed aerodynamics components, GEMBALLA mainly uses the ultra-light and high-strength material carbon.

Part of the dynamic front look is a far more sporty front skirt. Larger air inlets guarantee the optimal supply with fresh air for future performance increases. An integrated carbon lip and an elegantly formed bonnet with slotted ventilation ducts complete the lifting-force reducing front. A striking eye-catcher of the GEMBALLA MISTRALE and visual allusion to the classic 911-design are the extended front and rear fenders. A newly designed rear apron with integrated diffuser provides enough space for four end pipes of the sport exhaust system and seamlessly fits into the overall package.

But not only design and aerodynamics are refined by GEMALLA. Also the performance of the four-door automobile is significantly improved. A newly programmed air suspension module with extended setting range lowers the centre of gravity up to 40 millimetres. For especially ambitious customers, GEMBALLA offers a height-adjustable coilover suspension. In connection with the ultra-light 22-inch forged rims both versions render best vehicle control and also optimal road contact. For excellent deceleration values and perfect pedal control, GEMBALLA adds a high-performance brake system. 6-piston brake callipers with 420 millimetre brake discs at the front axle and 4-piston brake callipers with 380 millimetre brake discs at the back axle replace the serial components.

GEMBALLA – the specialist for high-end Porsche refinement and innovative engineer design plans further modifications, such as powerful performance enhancements up to 750 hp for different serial engines. And also in the interior, owner Uwe Gemballa leaves his distinctive mark with an innovative design and unsurpassable quality as usual.

1. Gemballa Titan Exhaust System for 997 GT2

You're reading Gemballa adds Gold Edition Mirage GT originally posted on oneighturbo.com. If you've enjoyed this article, be sure and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube.

GEMBALLA Automobiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG is located in Leonberg near Stuttgart and fulfils the wish of many Porsche drivers who are looking for an earthy sports car sound. Especially for the current models 997 Turbo and GT2, the Porsche-specialist offers an exhaust system with a significantly more powerful sound across the entire speed range.

Also technically, the GEMBALLA exhaust system is compelling. As it is made of extremely heat-resistant and ultra-light titanium alloys, it is approximately 40 percent lighter than its serial counterpart made of stainless steel. Due to its improved exhaust flow and included 200-cell catalysers, also the engine performance rises by approximately 20hp / 15kW and 25Nm torque. Moreover, the response behaviour significantly improves in the lower speed range.

Individually adjusted to the requirements of the models, are the two GEMBALLA-end pipes versions. Both models have the engraved GEMBALLA nameplate, but otherwise they are completely different. The turbo version has a double end pipe measuring 80 mm in diameter, while the GT2-counterpart has a single oval pipe measuring 125mm ?x 85mm.

GEMBALLA – the specialist for high-end Porsche refinement and innovative interior design offers the GT RACING TITAN sport exhaust systems for the Porsche models 997 Turbo and 997 GT2 at an introductory price from 8,980 euros.

Also in the programme are stainless steel sport exhaust systems for the models Porsche 911, Cayman, Boxster and Cayenne.
