The Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the most balanced sports cars on our planet. It makes a great platform for tuners around the world to show their potential. One of those companies is Gemballa who released their first Avalanche tuning package in the mid-1980s. Since then, numerous masterpieces have hit the road and showcased the true character of a Gemballa car. The latest package, released in 2009, is the Avalanche GTR EVO-R program offering a range of power outputs up to 800hp.

The base for our test car was the 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo which Gemballa then fitted with a large variety of different aerodynamic, technical and body parts. They also added extensive upgrades to the interior. The black and orange theme may be familiar to some of you. At this year’s Top Marques Monaco we had a first drive in the powerful machine, and by the end, we were begging for more. So we find ourselves here, with a full day in the 750hp, twin-turbocharged sports car experiencing thirty years of Gemballa heritage near Leonberg.

Let’s start with the Avalanche styling package. At the front Gemballa have installed a new front skirt named from their ‘type GT’ range which features headlights borrowed from the Carrera GT and a front spoiler lip from the ‘type GT2 EVO’ range finished in black carbon fiber. The front lip channels cool air to the air intake vents and provides the car with a lowered appearance. The front vented bonnet from the ‘type GTR EVO’ range, is also made from carbon fiber and accompanies new front fender extensions.
