The German tuning company Marc Philipp Gemballa has presented a new development - it is a Porsche 911 Turbo S converted into an off-road supercar, the car was given its own name Gemballa Marsien.
Marsien is the first product from Marc Philipp Gemballa, created by Marc Philipp Gemballa, son of Uwe Gemballa, founder and owner of Gemballa Automobiltechnik GmbH, which operated from 1981 to 2010 and closed after Uwe was killed in South Africa in 2010.
The novelty has an original adjustable and adaptive suspension, which allows you to vary the ground clearance in the range of 120-250 mm. Under the current road conditions, the suspension is adjusted automatically, the design uses special shock absorbers and double wishbones in front, new parts were developed by KW Automotive. Chassis presets include several road modes, as well as gravel, mud, sand and snow.
The Marsien will come with two sets of forged wheels, Michelin asphalt and off-road tires.
Customers purchasing a car mainly for off-road driving will be offered an option - rally shock absorbers, which give the car a particularly large suspension travel.
The engine was also subjected to refinement - and by order of Gemballa, this was done by Ruf, which has been tuning Porsche since the early 80s. 3.7-liter 6-cylinder Porsche engine brought to 750 hp. power and 930 Nm of torque. It provides acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 331 km/h. It is possible to order an even more powerful motor - 830 hp.
Other improvements include a carbon-fiber body kit, an improved transmission (provides more stable power transmission to all four wheels), and especially expensive finishing materials.
The price of Gemballa Marsien is from 495,000 euros. The company expects that the product will be of interest to the rich from the Middle East.
Porsche itself is also preparing a kind of cross-version of the “nine hundred and eleventh”.
