    Gemballa Mistrale / Porsche Panamera

    Mistrale - Porsche Panamera by Gemballa

    GEMBALLA MISTRALE
    The new, fascinating GEMBALLA luxury limousine based on Porsche Panamera models

    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.

    You know, "enhancing" this car will only give it more publicity to still keep it in production.

    I wonder if any tuners will be bold enough to "fix" the back end...

    The Panamera looks considerably better in person than in pictures. I seriously doubt the same will be true of this tuner car.

    This looks okay... For a Gemballa; whom I'm sure are devastated for having to take time off painting Carrera GT's funny colours to create this.

    It's improved from the original, but i still wouldn't touch it. I'm guessing this is the top of the tunner piramid and that from now on it's downhill.

    It may look "less bad" but when there are so many options on the market it's diffcult to care at all about the beetle with the engine in the wrong place...

    In person the Panamera looks much better proportioned and it becomes obvious that it's a Carerra GT front with a modernized 928 back. The car looks wrong in the context of the 911, but right in context of the other great non-911 Porsches.
