Beautiful car! There are 2 things that I don't like though, the "Avalanche" logo on the doors and the back (too much text on such a sporty car), and the exhaust tips.

.................................

GEMBALLA - a name which almost every car enthusiast in the world can spell. For over 25 years, it has been creating motoring dreams based on Porsche models that could hardly be more individual.

The latest model from GEMBALLA also gleams with technical highlights and, particularly, a phenomenal design. The Avalanche Roadster GTR 600 is already the finest and most masculine way to drive with the top down.
Function and design go hand-in-hand in this car. The front apron not only commands respect, it is also necessary in order to keep the temperature of the power unit and brakes at a normal level when subjected to high forces.

The opulent side skirts flow directly in a bold line to the newly constructed, completely metal-finished broadening of the body, with a larger air intake for the strengthened turbo engine. Details to make the heart of the beholder race can also be found at the rear of the car. In order to prevent disruption to the airflow at the rear diffuser, the exhaust pipe has been moved to the centre of the GEMBALLA rear apron.

Four exhaust-pipe tips there release splendid sounds into the environment and the framing sports grid helps draw heat away from the powerful Boxer engine.

Thanks to mechanical and electronic optimisation, the car now boasts over 600 bhp. The torque even peaks at a phenomenal 840 Nm.

This gives the Roadster breath-taking sprinting capabilities.

The matt black thunderbolt can go from 0 – 100 in 3.5 seconds. The maximum speed is enough to safely avoid any avalanches, as they surely can’t move at 320 km/hr.

To ensure that the car maintains its road-holding despite its exuberant power, it boasts a latest-generation H&R stainless steel coil over which has been specially adapted for the Avalanche Roadster. All of the motorsport experience accumulated by H&R also benefits the road setup and GEMBALLA can rely on a partner who is already equipping the Porsche GT models ex works with suspension technology.

Impressive? Absolutely – but the interior will also bowl over those of a spoiled nature. The sports steering wheel with F1 gear shifts and matching aluminium pedals are just the beginning.

The finest materials, including nubuck leather, Alcantara and carbon, are used all over the cockpit. Thus, the Avalanche Roadster is a pleasure in all forms of automotive existence - design, performance, luxury and euphony, concentrated in the smallest space under the open skies.

To accord with the latest trends, the Magic Black model of the Avalanche Roadster has been given a completely matt finish – matt black paint, matt black nubuck interior.
