"Finished in special order Iris Blue metallic. Current mileage 7,000. U.K. supplied.
Factory specification as follows:
Integrated roll cage, carbon fibre sports seats, 6 point harnesses, lightweight flywheel, ignition cut-off and carbon fibre and leather interior, Climate control.
Additional specification:
This vehicle was supplied new by Glenvarigill Porsche, in Scotland, to a client of ours. We purchased the car with delivery mileage only and sold the car to a client, who instructed that the car be sent to Turbo Technik Pietz AG (TTP), who undertook the conversion to 600 bhp specification, at a cost of £45,000.
This means that the car was converted to twin turbo spec using all new Porsche original parts and custom KKK turbos, as fitted to the current 996 Turbo including Porsche mahle turbo pistons and additional oil cooling as well as race spec. parts. The car has additional TTP custom exhaust, up rated Brembo 8 piston, 380mm race brakes at the front. Light alloy wheels and 'Gemballa' turbo GT spoiler. TTP front spoiler, carbon fibre lightweight bonnet and side skirts. The car was re-sprayed to accommodate the wider arches, front spoiler, bonnet, rear wing etc. all in original colour of metallic Iris Blue, by a German Porsche approved body shop.
The car is believed to be the only one in the UK. Gemballa's own test car was reviewed in the February 2001 issue of Porsche 911 World and the December issue of Sport Auto in Germany.
The Gemballa GT600, using the TTP engine, currently holds the modified production car lap record at the Nürburgring at 7:44 minutes. The car produced a TUV verified 590hp with 0-60 time of 3.6secs and 0-125 in 11secs and a top speed of 211.3 mph as tested by Porsche 911 World in February 2001.
We feel that this is a unique opportunity to obtain one of the fastest road cars in the world, at a fraction of the cost but with similar performance of a McLaren F1. £76,950"

The last owners son even pops up with a comment on the beast.
That car has been gathering dust there for a very long time...

This car has apparently been sold 3 times and each time the new owner has returned it after a short period and bought something more 'usable'.
A friend of mine test-drove it and said it didn't feel as quick as he was expecting (he has a verified 209mph 700bhp+ Skyline and also a GT3 so he knows about fast cars).
