10 Awesome: Avalanche 991. Via Gemballa. Dressed in a custom shade of purple, the Avalanche 991 is a cool reinterpretation of Porsche's (991) 911 model. It takes the sloping, smooth lines of the stock Porsche and adds a heavily aero-inspired package, with extra vents and a huge rear wing. Via Gemballa. Due to licensing issues, the Avalanche, along with all other Gemballa Cars, only appears in the Japanese versions of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune; When transferred to Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4, the Avalanche will become the RUF RGT until Maximum Tune 5DX+, where the RGT will become the Porsche 911 Turbo S (991) upon transfer to Maximum PORSCHE 911 (997) China.jpg 5,280 × 3,064; 3.91 MB.

Mar 11, 2020 at 5:49am ET Not to be confused with the lifted 959-inspired Porsche 911 that Uwe Gemballa’s son Marc Philipp will reveal later this year, the actual Gemballa tuning company has set its sights on making an off-road-ready Nine Eleven as well. The Gemballa Avalanche should be a name quite familiar to those who have been keeping an eye on the aftermarket scene, but this is isn’t an ordinary version of the amped-up 911 as the teaser sketch portrays a sports car for all types of terrain. Gemballa has been thinking about doing a rugged version of Stuttgart’s machine for about four years, and will be coming out with the Avalanche 4x4 within the next 24 months. While sketches usually exaggerate the details, the real thing should still be quite nice and even more spectacular than RUF’s new Rodeo concept. The Avalanche 4x4 will be complemented by a Tornado 4x4 representing a Porsche Cayenne with serious off-road credentials. The crown jewel in Gemballa’s portfolio will be its own mid-engined supercar, complete with over 800 horsepower to run the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in less than two and a half seconds and do 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) in seconds. Meanwhile, the previous and current generations of the 911 will get more than 1,000 horsepower this summer courtesy of an upgrade package positioned above the GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo. The current pack already transforms the 911 into a monster, unlocking 818 hp and 1,098 Newton-meters (810 pound-feet) of torque for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in seconds and a top speed exceeding 230 mph (370 km/h). On top of that, the Gemballa Avalanche RS prototype unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show will morph into a production model later this year in a limited-run series based on the 991 and 992 generations of the sports car. According to the tuner, its "performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles." Gemballa Is Developing A Bespoke Car: With more and more companies toying around with the idea of a versatile 911, we can’t help but wonder why Porsche isn’t coming out with an off-road version of its iconic car considering the company always seems eager to expand the 911 lineup. If I’m allowed to dream, a modern-day equivalent of the amazing 1989 Panamericana concept would be pretty sweet. Source: Gemballa Hide press release Show press release Gemballa sharpens its corporate strategy and provides an outlook on future models. The Luxury Customization Division will be greatly expanded in the future in addition to Hypercar development Leonberg, Gemballa, the world renowned southern German refinement and tuning company, will in future divide its business areas into three separate divisions. The development and production of the first own Gemballa Hypercar will be done in the Hypercar Division (HD). Additionally, the Luxury Customization Division (LCD) will group together the previous areas of vehicle refinement, performance enhancements, limited small series and one-offs. The Gemballa Classics Division (CD) will now be responsible for the maintenance and restoration of classic Gemballa vehicles. Delimitation of the business areas for more dynamism “With the delimitation of the individual business areas and the management as a separate profit centre, we want to ensure a clearer corporate structure. This should especially also have a positive impact on current fundraising activities. All areas are currently being equipped with new investments and will be greatly expanded in the future. The focus remains on expanding our already high quality standards. We will be introducing numerous new models over the next 24 months and expanding our dealer network worldwide,” states Steffen Korbach, owner and CEO of Gemballa. New Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 and Tornado 4x4 He continues: “First and foremost, we will continue to focus on customizing and increasing the performance of Porsche models, but we are also open to other brands. The prototype of the Gemballa Avalanche RS based on the Porsche 991, which was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017, is now to be launched this year in an exclusive small series based on the Porsche 991 and 992. The performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles. In 2016, we already discussed the development of a 4x4 variant of the Porsche Cayenne as the Gemballa Tornado 4x4 and the Porsche 911 as the Gemballa Avalanche 4x4. Designs for both vehicles have been in the drawer for a long time.” Performance increase with over 1,000 HP in preparation The Luxury Customization Division is currently marketing very successfully the body kit conversion for the Porsche 991/992 under the name “GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo” with an increase in performance to currently 818 bhp and 1,098 Nm and an acceleration of seconds from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) and a top speed of over 370 km/h (230 mph). A performance variant with over 1,000 bhp is being worked on and will be launched in the summer. High investments in development and expansion of high quality standards “After years of consolidation, we are now preparing a major product offensive with new considerable investments,” says Steffen Korbach, adding: “A lot has changed in our sector. Stricter state guidelines and laws, new trends, and competition from vehicle manufacturers are having a massive impact on the vehicle customization business. We have worked long and hard and since 2010 have invested over 15 million Euro in modernizing the brand and improving product quality. All of this with the aim of standing out from the mainstream also in the future.” If you’ve ever thought the Porsche 911 is good but lacking in all-terrain potential, Gemballa and RUF have just the thing. German tuning houses and Porsche specialists, Gemballa and RUF, have revealed off-road versions of the iconic Avalanche 4x4 has only been teased with renders, however what’s even more ambitious than the concept is that the model is slated for release within the next two on the underpinnings of a current-generation Porsche 911, the Avalanche 4x4 receives major modifications to suit an off-road body has been raised dramatically beyond the standard height of the road-going version, with the wheel arches enlarged to fit meaty off-road Gemballa Avalanche 4x4A wide-body kit appears to be fitted, with revisions made to the front and rear bumpers and side notable is the front bumper, which slopes back underneath the front-end, trading aerodynamic efficiency for increased ground appear to be Aerocatch latches hold down the front cargo cover (bonnet or hood, if you will), along with quick-release straps for the bumper, side-skirts and rear bumper, suggesting the Avalanche 4x4 could be quickly taken apart for maintenance – or perhaps ‘regular’ Avalanche – built on a 997 Carrera Turbo platform – outputs a claimed 494kW and 925Nm, so the Avalanche 4x4 could see similar states the model will be released within the next 24 RUF RodeoMeanwhile, RUF’s Rodeo concept offers a little more subtlety (as much as an off-road 911 can), made to look like a classic G-Series in rally Rodeo concept looks like it might’ve come from a parallel-universe where Mad Max attended design school. The body rides higher than a standard 911 and chunkier thick-tread tyres have been fitted, but the changes are mild compared to the Avalanche 4x4’ by RUF founder Alois Ruf’s wife, Estonia, the body wears two-tone champagne and khaki green paint with a red pinstripe. A small shovel is tied to the engine cover and a sturdy-looking roof rack is also paint coats the floodlight housings, front bull-bar and mud-flap. Leather is used for latches to secure the bonnet, boot and floodlight lens interior sees extensive use of charred brown leather, with most of the interior covered in the material. The seat backs are patterned with a Navajo Indian theme, inspired by Estonia’s time spent in the United underneath the aesthetic styling, the Rodeo is no slouch. The foundation of the concept is RUF’s carbon-fibre monocoque chassis and the model is powered by a tuned, naturally aspirated four-litre flat-six engine producing 368kW and 465Nm with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive layout. The Gemballa Avalanche is the car that helped launch Gemballa into the centre of the world stage for outrageous bespoke cars, often costing over $500,000 USD apiece in 1980s money – that’s well over $1,000,000 now. Founded by Uwe Gemballa in 1981, the German company was based near Porsche in Leonberg, Germany – just west of Stuttgart. Since its inception, Gemballa has been renowned for their outlandish styling and performance figures that outpaced even the quickest factory vehicles being sold by Porsche. The Gemballa Avalanche The Gemballa Avalanche was originally based on the already borderline-insane Porsche 911 Turbo “Flachbau” or “Slantnose”. The car debuted in 1985 as a coupe, along with the non-turbo convertible version that was known as the Cyrrus. The original Porsche 911 Turbo had the internal engine code “930”, a name still used by Porschephiles who rarely refer to an original Turbo as a 911. First sold in 1975 the cars were raw, powerful, and not entirely safe for those who weren’t familiar with managing turbo lag. Some nicknamed these cars “widow makers”, but the truth is that they just needed an experienced right foot, and owners like Peter Sellers who had ample practice driving high-performance cars found the 930 to be no particular challenge. The Flachbau 930 was already a rare, quick, and desirable car when it was released. The team at Gemballa initially focussed on aesthetics – primarily the body kit and interior, with the cars being sent to RUF for mechanical upgrades. Uwe Gemballa’s vision for the 930 was nothing if not extreme. He added a prominent rear wing linked to an aero package installed around the rear window – “Avalanche” iconography was prominent on the rear lip of the wing, so people behind you in traffic know exactly what they’re looking at. The most immediately noticeable design addition to the Gemballa Avalanche were the left and right side strakes reminiscent of the Ferrari Testarossa, these weren’t just a visual affectation either – they’re designed to be aerodynamically functional and channel cool air into the side intakes to feed the engine. Door handles were removed and replaced with a button under the top lip of the side strakes, a feature that often resulted in passengers standing next to the car with no idea how to get in. The most famous Gemballa owner in the 1980s was the rapper Vanilla Ice, a man known for his somewhat ostentatious personal style, and for his love of fast cars and motorcycles. He referenced his song “Get Loose” with the line “Of course a Vanilla rides the groove like a Gemballa Porsche”. There were two major versions of the Gemballa 930, and all were cusomisted to their owner’s specifications to some degree. Later cars had their external rear vision mirrors removed and replaced with cameras – an advanced idea designed to reduce aerodynamic drag. Over the first 8 years of production just 15 Gemballa Avalanches were built, this means they’re a very rare sight on the road, with most owners taking them out infrequently to keep mileage low. The 1986 Gemballa Avalanche Shown Here The Avalanche shown here is one of the final examples, it was built in 1986 and finished in a metallic pearlescent white, with a contrasting black leather interior. The engine was modified by RUF and now produces 375 bhp, up from the original 300 bhp, and it’s only gathered 13,800 miles in its first 30 years of life. Gemballa recently revived the Avalanche name-plate, basing the modern version on the new Porsche 911 Turbo, and incorporating all the characteristic modifications we’ve come to expect from the German firm.

Published by Ben Branch - August 23rd 2017 Joining a growing roster of tuning companies prepping off-road versions of Porsche's iconic sports car, famed tuner Gemballa announced that it was prepping an "Avalanche 4x4 911." This comes just two days after RUF announced its own "Rodeo," a carbon-fiber bodied interpretation with off-road, air-cooled 911 the RUF and Leh Keen's famous "Safari" 911s, though, the Avalanche is based on newer generations of the 911. The company will build both 991 and 992 versions of the Avalanche starting later this year. They describe it as an "exclusive small series," so it's likely going to be expensive and hard to get. Gemballa Gemballa has yet to release any specs for the Avalanche 4x4, but the two renderings shown above suggest the car will have some massively wide fenders, an eccentric rear wing, dual roof scoops, and a set of serious all-terrain tires.

The German company used the Avalanche's reveal to announce it would be splitting into three distinct divisions: a "Hypercar Division" to develop and build an in-house supercar, a "Luxury Customization Division" to build highly customized, limited-production creations like the Avalanche, and a "Classics Division" for maintaining and restoring vintage Gemballa cars. Gemballa also says it's working on a more powerful version of its existing 818-horsepower GTR 8XX Evo-R BiTurbo, said to be capable of 1000 horsepower. Currently, the car can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just seconds, and hit a top speed of 230 mph. So this new one should be even more absurd.

You may be able to find more information about this and similar content at German automotive tuner Gemballa has provided the first look at its Avalanche 4×4, an all-new off-roading variant of the Porsche 911. Gemballa’s sketches show the Avalanche 4×4 as a high-riding, bulky 911, altering every single panel on the car in order to optimize its terrain-tackling abilities. The front bumper is shorter to give the car better clearance, while its rear features a redesigned diffuser, a much larger wing, and plenty of protection in the form of an underbelly skid plate. The 911’s rework also includes a redesigned front hood complete with a carbon fiber finish sporting lots of deep air ducts, as well as new vents in the doors and a set of dual roof scoops. Gemballa’s Avalanche 4×4 features chunky all-terrain tires, lots of detachable components seen by the hinges on the front and rear bumpers, as well as rally-inspired aesthetic thanks to its antennas, side-window vents and additional rear foglight. Now power figures for the concept have been unveiled, however, Gemballa does state that it is looking to prepare power outputs of over 1,000 BHP in the near future. Steffen Korbach, owner and CEO of Gemballa said in a press release that the Avalanche 4×4’s “performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles,” and that we can expect to see an “exclusive small series based on the Porsche 991 and 992.” Production is reported to start by the end of 2020. In other news, Zero Labs has developed a 600 BHP all-electric Ford Bronco.
