2002 Gemballa 911 GTR 650

For 2002 it looks like Porsche tuner, Uwe Gemballa, has tweaked his ulitmate creation, the GTR 600. As the name would suggest, this 996 turbo based conversion pumps out 650 horsepower!

The overall package is much the same as the GTR 600, with 380mm brakes, a sports suspension and of course a severe turbo & intercooler upgrades. This year, with the absence of 911 GT3 cars, the conversion is performed on the 996 Turbo model. Although, I am sure if you have an extra GT3 or GT2 kicking around Uwe would be happy to upgrade your car.

What sets the new 650 appart from last year’s model is a major styling upgrade. As seen in the images above, the Gemballa design team has introduced new air intakes on the side of the car and a stylish spoiler which still dynamically adjusts like Porsche Turbo’s original version.
