In the 90s, Uwe Gemballa's tuning company was one of the most renowned companies when it came to modified Porsche models. The vigorous creations were (and are) popular worldwide, and in addition to the obligatory poster vehicles such as Lamborghini Countach or Ferrari Testarossa, there was certainly a large picture of one in one or the other of the children's rooms Gemballa Porsche. In particular, the body kits, which were crazy for the time, that the Gemballa vehicles carried, ensured the company's unprecedented popularity in the tuning scene. You can say that Gemballa, along with KOENIG SPECIALS and Rieger tuning, was the ultimate of the era when it came to wide-body construction on automobiles. In exactly this time, when Tamagotchis, Eurodance music and platform shoes from Buffalo were all the rage, we would like to take you back by introducing you to another unique piece from Gemballa based on the Porsche 993, which comes with various modifications.

The interior is not only difficult to climb, as the XNUMX has one Roll bar with side struts, it is also luxuriously and comfortably furnished. white leather seats and a blue one dashboard provide a feel-good atmosphere while the Sport steering wheel and the crank windows make it clear that Gemballa takes weight very seriously.

A classic watch collection with five Round instruments Must not be missing in a Porsche, of course, and in the case of the GTR 600, the dials were painted in the same shade of white as the seat covers. After all, there is one Radio on board, but otherwise the cockpit was kept puristic, because air conditioning is also a nuisance.
