The German tuning specialist Gemballa, which has become famous for its work on the Porsche Carrera GT supercar, is coming out with its latest creation in the form of the Mirage GT Carbon Edition. This time Gemballa focused on the dual-color paint finish rather than on power output, and aims at exclusivity with the announcement that it will only build a totally limited number of 5 examples.
Although other Gemballa products came with 750hp (560kW), the Carbon Edition is content with its 670hp (500kW). The Carbon Edition still yields an extra 50hp above that of the standard Carrera GT, but with 465lb-ft (630Nm) of top torque it will definitely provide a driving sensation no matter what speed. The carmaker claims a sprit rate for the model at 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.7 seconds and by 9.7 seconds it‚ already burning rubber at 124mph (200km/h). The top speed is about 208mph (335km/h). Setting power upgrades aside, the Carbon Edition, so called for very good reasons, comes with a lot of visible carbon fiber highlights, a black-on-white finish and bespoke alloy wheels. To enhance handling and protect it from bumps and humps on the road, the car is equipped with a hydraulic height-adaptable coilover kit. The enhancements cost 298,000 Euros, excluding the Carrera GT unit. Photo gallery after the jump!
