Mar 11, 2020 at 5:49am ET Not to be confused with the lifted 959-inspired Porsche 911 that Uwe Gemballa’s son Marc Philipp will reveal later this year, the actual Gemballa tuning company has set its sights on making an off-road-ready Nine Eleven as well. The Gemballa Avalanche should be a name quite familiar to those who have been keeping an eye on the aftermarket scene, but this is isn’t an ordinary version of the amped-up 911 as the teaser sketch portrays a sports car for all types of terrain. Gemballa has been thinking about doing a rugged version of Stuttgart’s machine for about four years, and will be coming out with the Avalanche 4x4 within the next 24 months. While sketches usually exaggerate the details, the real thing should still be quite nice and even more spectacular than RUF’s new Rodeo concept. The Avalanche 4x4 will be complemented by a Tornado 4x4 representing a Porsche Cayenne with serious off-road credentials. The crown jewel in Gemballa’s portfolio will be its own mid-engined supercar, complete with over 800 horsepower to run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in less than two and a half seconds and do 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) in seconds. Meanwhile, the previous and current generations of the 911 will get more than 1,000 horsepower this summer courtesy of an upgrade package positioned above the GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo. The current pack already transforms the 911 into a monster, unlocking 818 hp and 1,098 Newton-meters (810 pound-feet) of torque for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in seconds and a top speed exceeding 230 mph (370 km/h). On top of that, the Gemballa Avalanche RS prototype unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show will morph into a production model later this year in a limited-run series based on the 991 and 992 generations of the sports car. According to the tuner, its "performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles." Gemballa Is Developing A Bespoke Car: With more and more companies toying around with the idea of a versatile 911, we can’t help but wonder why Porsche isn’t coming out with an off-road version of its iconic car considering the company always seems eager to expand the 911 lineup. If I’m allowed to dream, a modern-day equivalent of the amazing 1989 Panamericana concept would be pretty sweet.

The Luxury Customization Division will be greatly expanded in the future in addition to Hypercar development Leonberg, Gemballa, the world renowned southern German refinement and tuning company, will in future divide its business areas into three separate divisions. The development and production of the first own Gemballa Hypercar will be done in the Hypercar Division (HD). Additionally, the Luxury Customization Division (LCD) will group together the previous areas of vehicle refinement, performance enhancements, limited small series and one-offs.

Delimitation of the business areas for more dynamism “With the delimitation of the individual business areas and the management as a separate profit centre, we want to ensure a clearer corporate structure. This should especially also have a positive impact on current fundraising activities. All areas are currently being equipped with new investments and will be greatly expanded in the future. The focus remains on expanding our already high quality standards. We will be introducing numerous new models over the next 24 months and expanding our dealer network worldwide,” states Steffen Korbach, owner and CEO of Gemballa. New Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 and Tornado 4x4 He continues: “First and foremost, we will continue to focus on customizing and increasing the performance of Porsche models, but we are also open to other brands. The prototype of the Gemballa Avalanche RS based on the Porsche 991, which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017, is now to be launched this year in an exclusive small series based on the Porsche 991 and 992. The performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles. In 2016, we already discussed the development of a 4x4 variant of the Porsche Cayenne as the Gemballa Tornado 4x4 and the Porsche 911 as the Gemballa Avalanche 4x4. Designs for both vehicles have been in the drawer for a long time.” Performance increase with over 1,000 HP in preparation The Luxury Customization Division is currently marketing very successfully the body kit conversion for the Porsche 991/992 under the name “GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo” with an increase in performance to currently 818 bhp and 1,098 Nm and an acceleration of seconds from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) and a top speed of over 370 km/h (230 mph). A performance variant with over 1,000 bhp is being worked on and will be launched in the summer. High investments in development and expansion of high quality standards “After years of consolidation, we are now preparing a major product offensive with new considerable investments,” says Steffen Korbach, adding: “A lot has changed in our sector. Stricter state guidelines and laws, new trends, and competition from vehicle manufacturers are having a massive impact on the vehicle customization business. We have worked long and hard and since 2010 have invested over 15 million Euro in modernizing the brand and improving product quality. All of this with the aim of standing out from the mainstream also in the future.” Si l'on n'oublie pas que Gemballa est actuellement en train de nous préparer une Porsche 911 inspirée de la 959, l'entreprise de tuning Gemballa est également en train de travailler sur une 911... prête pour le tout-terrain ! Si l'appellation "Avalanche" est déjà assez connue chez Gemballa, la prochaine version ne sera pas qu'une 911 plus puissante, comme nous le montrent les croquis publié par Gemballa ces dernières heures. Gemballa travaille donc à une version robuste de la machine de Stuttgart depuis environ quatre ans, et sortira l'Avalanche 4x4 dans les 24 prochains mois. Bien que les croquis grossissent généralement les détails, le modèle qui sortira devrait quand même être assez beau et encore plus spectaculaire que le nouveau concept Rodeo de RUF. Le 4x4 Avalanche sera rejoint par une 4x4 Tornado qui ne sera autre qu'un Porsche Cayenne avec de sérieuses références en matière de tout-terrain. Le joyau du portefeuille de Gemballa sera sa propre supercar à moteur central, dotée d'une puissance de plus de 800 chevaux, capable d'effectuer le sprint de 0 à 100 km/h en moins de deux secondes et demie et le 0 à 200 km/h en 6,5 secondes. En attendant, les générations précédentes et actuelles de la 911 obtiendront plus de 1000 chevaux l'été prochain grâce à un ensemble de mises à jour placées au-dessus de la GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo. Le pack actuel transforme déjà la 911 en un monstrede 818 chevaux et 1098 Newton-mètres de couple pour un 0 à 100 km/h abattu en 2,3 secondes et une vitesse de pointe dépassant les 370 km/h. De plus, le prototype Gemballa Avalanche RS dévoilé au Salon de l'automobile de Genève 2017 se transformera en un modèle de série un peu plus tard cette année. Une série limitée basée sur les générations 991 et 992 de la sportive allemande. Selon le préparateur, ses "données de performance surpasseront celles de tous les véhicules comparables". Plus de Gemballa : Avec de plus en plus d'entreprises qui jouent avec l'idée d'une 911 polyvalente, on ne peut s'empêcher de se demander pourquoi Porsche ne sort pas une version tout-terrain de sa voiture emblématique alors que la société semble toujours désireuse d'élargir la gamme 911. Qui ne rêve pas d'une version moderne de l'étonnant concept de Panamericana de 1989 ? Nous oui !

Founded by Uwe Gemballa in 1981, the German company was based near Porsche in Leonberg, Germany – just west of Stuttgart. Since its inception, Gemballa has been renowned for their outlandish styling and performance figures that outpaced even the quickest factory vehicles being sold by Porsche. The Gemballa Avalanche The Gemballa Avalanche was originally based on the already borderline-insane Porsche 911 Turbo “Flachbau” or “Slantnose”. The car debuted in 1985 as a coupe, along with the non-turbo convertible version that was known as the Cyrrus. The original Porsche 911 Turbo had the internal engine code “930”, a name still used by Porschephiles who rarely refer to an original Turbo as a 911. First sold in 1975 the cars were raw, powerful, and not entirely safe for those who weren’t familiar with managing turbo lag. Some nicknamed these cars “widow makers”, but the truth is that they just needed an experienced right foot, and owners like Peter Sellers who had ample practice driving high-performance cars found the 930 to be no particular challenge. The Flachbau 930 was already a rare, quick, and desirable car when it was released. The team at Gemballa initially focussed on aesthetics – primarily the body kit and interior, with the cars being sent to RUF for mechanical upgrades. Uwe Gemballa’s vision for the 930 was nothing if not extreme. He added a prominent rear wing linked to an aero package installed around the rear window – “Avalanche” iconography was prominent on the rear lip of the wing, so people behind you in traffic know exactly what they’re looking at. The most immediately noticeable design addition to the Gemballa Avalanche were the left and right side strakes reminiscent of the Ferrari Testarossa, these weren’t just a visual affectation either – they’re designed to be aerodynamically functional and channel cool air into the side intakes to feed the engine. Door handles were removed and replaced with a button under the top lip of the side strakes, a feature that often resulted in passengers standing next to the car with no idea how to get in. The most famous Gemballa owner in the 1980s was the rapper Vanilla Ice, a man known for his somewhat ostentatious personal style, and for his love of fast cars and motorcycles. He referenced his song “Get Loose” with the line “Of course a Vanilla rides the groove like a Gemballa Porsche”. There were two major versions of the Gemballa 930, and all were cusomisted to their owner’s specifications to some degree. Later cars had their external rear vision mirrors removed and replaced with cameras – an advanced idea designed to reduce aerodynamic drag. Over the first 8 years of production just 15 Gemballa Avalanches were built, this means they’re a very rare sight on the road, with most owners taking them out infrequently to keep mileage low. The 1986 Gemballa Avalanche Shown Here The Avalanche shown here is one of the final examples, it was built in 1986 and finished in a metallic pearlescent white, with a contrasting black leather interior. The engine was modified by RUF and now produces 375 bhp, up from the original 300 bhp, and it’s only gathered 13,800 miles in its first 30 years of life. Gemballa recently revived the Avalanche name-plate, basing the modern version on the new Porsche 911 Turbo, and incorporating all the characteristic modifications we’ve come to expect from the German firm.
