Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition

Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon EditionGemballa the German car tuning firm has released the Mirage GT Carbon Edition based off the Porsche Carrera GT. Aiming to make this a super car, and Gemballa being famous for their great work, only 5 of these models will be made exclusively. From the factory the Carrera GT boasts 620 hp, but after some extra tuning those numbers were boosted to 670 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. Those impressive numbers get this Mirage GT Carbon Edition moving, and its 0-62 mph time is 3.7 seconds while it can hit 200 km/h in only 9.7 seconds with a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph).

The Carbon Edition in the name is derived from all the carbon fiber parts Gemballa installed and they even added aftermarket ceramic brakes. With all the carbon accessories the Porsche Carrare GT is transformed to the Mirage GT Carbon Edition and it looks stunning. Gemballa was even able to reduce the track times by .2, and some of that credit can go towards the carbon fiber and minor tuning.
