2005 Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT – RM Sotheby’s
Starting life as a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, this car was delivered new to Gemballa and to Mirage GT specifications. Gemballa has built an impressive reputation for modifying Porsches, but even for a car as extraordinary as the Carrera GT, Gemballa turned it into a hypercar without rivals.
Utilising a bespoke ram air intake system, freer-flowing stainless-steel exhaust with sport metal catalytic convertors, and remapped ECU, Gemballa coaxed another 58 bhp from the Carrera GT’s 5.7-litre V-10 engine, bringing total output to 670 bhp and 630 Nm of torque. A sprint to 100 km/h takes just 3.7 seconds, leading to a top speed of 335 km/h.
