Porsche Carrera GT: Gemballa Mirage GT now comes with added glitter

Another very cool mod here of the Porsche Carrera GT, called Gemballa Mirage GT, which now has some extra spice.

Having previously drooled over this hardcore Carrera GT modification we were shocked to discover someone had taken advantage of the company’s extensive individualization program and decided to coat the car with black paint and glitter. Gemballa says it’s the 11th car of a limited edition run of just 25 and was commissioned by “a well-known professional soccer player,” which makes the glitter choice less surprising.

By modifying the engine management electronics, Gemballa has been able to squeeze out a further 60 bhp of power and 20 Nm more torque for the V10, slicing off 0.1 seconds off the time it takes to go from 0-100km/h. The added performance has also been aided by a new, fully stainless steel exhaust system that now resounds through four tail pipes instead of the standard two.

The mods begin from €229,800 plus taxes, and of course your own Carrera GT.
