  • Gemballa Porsche 991 Carrera S Convertible With GT Aerodynamic Package

    Gemballa-Porsche-991-Carrera-S-Convertible-GT-THUMBPorsche 991 Carrera S Convertible is now being equipped with a special aerodynamic and technology package especially created to enhance its GT capabilities. Gemballa is staying behind this project.

    The face of the Gemballa GT aerodynamic package consists of a strongly contoured front bumper, whose three large cooling air intakes and carbon-fibre spoiler lip give the Porsche more aggressive stance. Moreover, the curvaceous lines of the 991 Carrera S Cabriolet are further accentuated by the more heavily contoured side skirts that lead the eyes to the re-imagined rear.

    At the rear we have dark painted recess in the bumper, carbon-fibre strip between the lights, diffuser with cutouts for the exhaust pipes and Gurney lip spoiler. All of these components are made of carbon-fibre and can be delivered in either natural look or painted body colour.

    What is more, here is also included the dual triple-tail pipe exhaust system with throttle activated sound control. This is an interpretation of company’s six-pipe exhaust first seen on the Gemballa Avalanche. What is important to mention here is that this system has a lower backpressure worth up to 10 horsepower.

    The height of the car is decreased by 20 mm, thanks tot the shorter, uprated sport springs that work with the factory PASM active damping system. They are combined with the Gemballa-21-inch GForged-one wheels, which are available in “black magic” or “gunmetal” color choices with or without a glossy turned “diamond cut” finish. Another unique feature here is the high performance brake system which was created in collaboration with Brembo and provides shorter stopping distances.

    In terms of interior, the palette of materials and colours utilized include the finest Alcantara, carbon-fibre or aluminium. Here can also be found the latest multi-media equipment, delivering state-of-the-art in-car entertainment.

  • TechART and the New Porsche 911

    TechArt-Porsche-Carrera-thumbLast week it was Vorsteiner who announced a Geneva Porsche Carrera and now we’ve got news from TechArt. They also have a program for the 911 but this one seems to be having a bad case of jaundice. Being that yellow, the car is certain to be noticed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It would be like staring into the sun. Just don’t squint your eyes too much or you won’t be able to see what’s new.

    The TechArt 911 has a unique front bumper with an integrated splitter and two fins on the lower air intakes that probably don’t do much but they look cool. At the back, there seems to be too much downforce oriented features – a fixed rear spoiler, a rear wing, a diffuser? Other additions include the sideskirts, some new trim panels for the headlights and new mirror encasings.

    Provided also are the TechArt Formula 5-spoke light alloy wheels in 20– and 21-inch sizes specially designed for the Carrera and Carrera S. Alternatively one can opt for the TechArt Formula III type of wheels which come in the same sizes. Either way, the 911 will be lighter and more dynamic when compared to a sibling with standard shoes. The five spokes on that particular Carrera are quite apart from each other and as a result we can see the callipers which are in what color?

    All yellowishness aside, your hearing may also be provoked by the TechArt exhaust system that has remote valve control and dual oval pipes through which the car can sing its song.

    The Carrera we have in our gallery will be at the show, but thankfully you can have the finish, inside and outside, custom made. Regardless of that, you get a lot of leather and Alcantra, carbon fiber, TechArt floor mats, TechArt steering wheel and paddle shifters. Let’s just hope, that there is some protective eyeware on the TechArt stand because my eyes are now hurting and I am not even close to the thing.
