After displaying a concept version of its ‘Tornado’ Cayenne GTS early last year, Porsche tuning specialist Gemballa has revealed full production specs for its latest kit based on the original concept. Only 50 Tornado models will be completed, with two different versions available and three different states of tune.

The big SUV has been given a totally new look inspired by the awesome Carrera GT supercar, and includes a new set of five-spoke alloy wheels, larger air intakes in the front apron, a carbon-fiber hood, new taillights and an integrated rear diffuser. The interior also gets dressed up, sporting new adjustable seats, a panoramic sunroof and a custom center console styled after the unit in the Carrera GT.

The Tornado will be available in either GTS or GTR trims, the latter designed almost entirely with performance in mind. In GTR trim, Gemballa engineers remove most of the luxury items and convert the AWD SUV to a rear-driver. The end result is a weight saving of almost 250kg.

While the standard Cayenne GTS develops a reasonable 495hp, the Gemballa models churn out 542, 641 and 740hp, all depending on which state of tune a customer requests. Some of the modifications required include new intercoolers, a high-flow exhaust system, and an ECU upgrade.

 

Looks mean

 

bad azzz!

 

I'm not a big fan of the exterior, but the CGT-inspired interior looks pretty damn good!

 

Manual gearbox on an suv with that power is ridiculous fun, I would love to have that interior and power with the stock body, one bad ass sleeper.

 

Looks like a photoshop hack job to me? I bet $20 that this won't see production looking like that with Ferrari taillights etc.

 

like it , must be a joy to drive

 

Interesting rear lights

 

I remember getting my ass handed to me when I raced my modded M5 with a GT600.. I cant imagine what this would do!

 

nasty if you ask me
