2006 Gemballa Mirage Evolution
As it turns out, the photoshops of Gemballa's Carrera GT coupe didn't lie. Thier proposal to make one of the most outrageous supercars is now a reality on Supercars.net and we have pictures of their new model in the wind tunnel.
Gemballa USA is seriously representing that they are going to modify a Carrera GT in much the same way they push out the current 911 to make over 750 bhp. That is, attach twin turbochargers and make a 1000 bhp monster.
However, Gemballa's ambitions don't end there. This hypothetical makeover also includes a gullwing doors and a new carbon fiber roof, tested in the wind tunnel for 250 mph crusing.
Do we believe this? Oh yeah! Unfortunately, Gemballa told the Dupont Registry it would take 1.5 million euros to complete the upgrade so we are guessing that our feature example will be the only one.
