Being one of the premier addresses for stylish and refined Porsche
tuning, GEMBALLA has earned itself a worldwide reputation over the
course of time. Thanks to its outstanding expertise, proven in
numerous conversions, each customer acquires a vehicle that
represents the absolute pinnacle of what is achievable in terms of
design and performance. One further such demonstration of its
abilities is GEMBALLA’s “Avalanche 600 GT2 EVO”.
Ready for take-off?
The basis of the Avalanche 600 GT EVO is the Porsche 997 turbo or
the GT2. GEMBALLA even knows how to boost the already impressive set
of performance figures of the production model. 600 bhp (442 kW) put
the competition from Maranello and Sant'Agata-Bolognese in a tight
spot. The six-cylinder boxer with a torque of 840 Nm – power-boosted
by the GEMBALLA power kit - stands out even more. Jet-like
acceleration in every gear and at every speed being the outcome. A
sports intercooler ensures that this performance can be reliably
accessed even in hot ambient temperatures. As an option, this task
can also be performed by a racing sports intercooler. The power
boost is acoustically announced by the sports exhaust system fitted
by GEMBALLA, whose awesome sound thrills the vehicle occupants and
listeners alike. Upon request, this can also be achieved by means of
a four-pipe system instead the two tailpipe versions. GEMBALLA’s
power boost allows the modified 997 to race at a top speed of 320
km/h, accomplishing the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5
seconds. The latter can – depending on the driver’s skill – be even
further enhanced by fitting the sport shifter for vehicles with a
manual gearshift, reduced gear lever travel, which is available in
the “Sport” and “Race” versions.
Powerful appearance thanks to GEMBALLA Avalanche body conversion
kit
A successful combination of various aerodynamic components from the
company’s own suite goes to ensure greater downforce. In its basic
version, the Avalanche 600 GT2 EVO exhibits the fundamental
Avalanche modification, which is particularly prominent on the
flanks in the form of the air intakes modified to give the look of a
Carrera GT. Also characteristic for the Avalanche conversion are the
modified side sills, which also feature air intakes, designed to
help cool the brakes. In addition, GEMBALLA fits the “GT” hood, the
“Avalanche” front skirt with additional cooling openings, the “GT2”
front spoiler lip in black carbon, the GTR EVO tailgate skirt with
an integral diffuser and hot air outlets, the GT2 EVO rear spoiler
and a stoneguard. For the rear end, GEMBALLA borrows design ideas
from its own Carrera GT conversion Mirage GT, which is available as
a limited edition. The exhaust tailpipes with jet-fighter-style
covers bear witness to this.
Needless to say, GEMBALLA also supplies the obligatory logos,
identifying the 997 as a genuine GEMBALLA. Drivers wishing to show
their allegiances with motor racing can adorn the front and tailgate
skirt with carbon components. For the GTR EVO tailgate skirt,
GEMBALLA also offers a carbon diffuser option. It is also possible
to order the rear spoiler in this light-weight material.
The paint finishes GEMBALLA is offering enable drivers to add that
all-important eye-catching finishing touch to this aerodynamics kit.
The options of a BICOLOR concept, special colors, effect colors or a
“special effect” color are guaranteed head-turners.
Enhanced suspension and brakes
If it looks like a racing car, it should also drive like one. The
enhanced engine power alone goes a long way to achieving this. To
boost the overall performance, GEMBALLA, however, relies on an
additional, extensive enhancement of the suspension and brakes. The
GEMBALLA “PROFESSIONAL CONCEPT” is used for the suspension. This
consists of a variable ride height coilover suspension, a strut bar,
stabilizer kit and stiffened axle mounts. As an option, GEMBALLA is
offering the “RACE CONCEPT”, which additionally includes racing
transverse links for the front and rear axle. For vehicles without
ceramic brakes, GEMBALLA offers a brake system with four red
high-performance brake calipers and brake discs with the diameters
380 mm (front) and 350 mm (rear). For an additional charge, an even
larger system is available with a brake disc combination 405/380 and
brake calipers in the customer’s requested color.
Larger wheels lend the Avalanche 600 GT2 EVO an even more impressive
appearance. This is made possible by a set of GEMBALLA “Racing Black
Edition” wheels in the format 9.0x20" (front) and 11.5x20" (rear)
with size 245 and 325 tires. The wheel design is characterized by
its classic racing look and the stainless steel rim flange. By way
of an alternative and without paying extra, GEMBALLA will also fit
the wheel design in its “Silver Edition” version or completely matt
black in the “Black Magic” version.
Sporty luxury inside
Even the basic version of the interior trim available for the
GEMBALLA Avalanche 600 GT2 EVO is entirely given over to creating a
sporty appeal. Pedals and a driver’s footrest from aluminum,
Avalanche logos in the door sill area, as well as instruments and
foot mats, a new sports steering wheel with a 340 mm diameter in a
leather/leather combination (upon request with F1 shift paddles), a
conversion of the rear area and the sports package featuring leather
components (not for vehicles with original leather trim) all combine
to create a sporty and luxurious atmosphere. The options list allows
customers to select other versions of sports steering wheels
(combinations of aluminum/leather or carbon/leather, F1 shift
paddles, etc.), interior packages from carbon or leather (e.g.
headliner in leather or Alcantara), various sports seats (also with
leather and carbon) or a new carpet for the passenger compartment.
As regards the interior, it is of course also possible to request
other customized conversions.
