Gemballa’s limited edition Tornado 750 GTS model will be limited to 50 units. Although it was inspired by the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Turbo, you would not know that just from looking at it.
Gemballa based the Tornado 750 GTS, their new machine on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. They’ll be the first ones to admit that the relationship has ended. While weight has dropped by 250 kilos but horsepower has been increased to 750 HP.
Manufacturer is quick to highlight that most of the changes made to the vehicle were to transform it into a “high performance sports car,” while keeping the interior space the same. The majority of the body was made from carbon, including the extended front apron. The front apron has a lip and a carbon-flapped spoiler at the back. These modifications give the SUV more downthrust and give it the classic, elongated sports car look.
Adding power means bigger intakes. These deliver air to the engine, front brakes, oil, and intercooler. The GT Sport forged lightweight wheels measure 12 inches in width. The massive cross-drilled discs and six piston brake calipers can be seen through the front wheels. At the back, four-piston brakes can be used. The adjustable coilover kit lowers the vehicle by about 70 millimeters.
The interior changes include a redesign of the center console and dash, giving the car a more “cockpit feel.” The new Data Control System is included, which shows “acceleration and cross-acceleration values” as well as deceleration. You can choose from leather, carbon fiber, or aluminum for the rear seat entertainment system.
The 750 horsepower V8 engine is what really makes this SUV special. The engine’s capacity is increased to five liters with custom-forged pistons and rods. It also has new turbos. Air intercooler cooling area is “90% larger.” These improvements not only resulted in more horsepower but also more off-the line power. The engine produces a staggering 1,050 Nm at 3200 rpm.
Result: 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 300+ km/h.
Gemballa plans to produce 50 limited edition models. The Gemballa Tornado GTS retails for EUR400,000
