Gemballa Mirage GT

 

The Gemballa Mirage GT is not your average Porsche Carrera GT, but rather a significantly modified version of the famed mid-2000s Porsche supercar. German-based Porsche tuner Gemballa introduced the Mirage GT in 2006 and made a multitude of enhancements to the Carrera GT. Its most notable performance modifications are the Carrera GT's 5.7-liter V10 improving from 603 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque to 661 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque and the addition of a quad straight-pipe stainless steel exhaust system over the stock Carrera GT's two-pipe exhaust system. The Mirage GT also adds air vents on the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle, a roof-mounted air intake that feeds into the engine bay, a larger rear wing, plenty of carbon fiber trim, a Gemballa Sport Clutch, and Gemballa-specific wheels and badges. To allow for the installation of two extra exhaust pipes, Gemballa relocated the Carrera GT's reverse fog lights from next to the exhaust pipes to below the rear diffuser. 

Only 25 Porsche Carrera GTs were converted into Gemballa Mirage GTs, with the conversion price starting at around $324,000 when new. This year's Exotics on Broadway featured one Gemballa Mirage GT on display finished in a bare carbon-fiber exterior with green accents. I also saw one stock Carrera GT at this year's Exotics on Broadway (pictured below), while last year's show featured a different Mirage GT example in black with orange accents along with a few other Carrera GTs. I had seen several Porsche sports cars in and around Exotics on Broadway this year, but the Gemballa Mirage GT and the Carrera GT were certainly the coolest of them all besides the 918 Spyder from the previous post. Overall, the Porsche Carrera GT is an amazing, incredible, and legendary supercar that marks the end of an era for fully analog performance vehicles, while the Gemballa Mirage GT takes the Carrera GT's performance, styling, and head-turning flair to the next level.
