RE: Gemballa announces Panamera GTP720

[simonrockman]

0-60 in 3.2. Puts it on a par with the Tesla P85D

[trackdemon]

There's a drive feature in this months GT Purely Porsche Colour scheme is for media impact; look past the wrap and it's a standard Panamera Turbo. Would be hilarious in black/black with graphite wheels.... The acceleration is just silly, in the best possible way.

Wouldn't be seen dead in that monstrosity. Feckin horrible fast or not. Also Uwe Gemballa was found with a hole in his head wrapped up in polythene in SA as he got involved in drug deal that went wrong. Also heard a story about Uwe pushing a boy away from a car on his stand at a Motorshow. Who in their right mind would want to deal with a company like that?

Soon to be crashed by a Premiership footballer near you....
Just the sort of thing that people with no class (insert here any one of dozens of names of footballers) will buy, to sit in their stable alongside an aluminium-wrapped Aston and a sky blue pink Range Rover with 24" revolving-centre chrome wheels)
Redefines the word 'gruesome'....

great achievement but a I have whole load of "why??"

Why not?
Paint job aside it could pass for a standard Panamera.

[menoy]

Gemballa's alive (as in the company)? Thought they went down.

Same old, same old comment. Have all your posts been so lacking in imagination? There are 20 Premiership teams each with a 25 man squad submitted at the start of the season, so only 500 players named in total. Do you think that they each own 1000's of cars which cover anything that you don't personally like or do you possibly think that there might be lots of people around the world who like this sort of thing hence tuners keep supplying them? Have a think about it.

I don't think the power is actually that outrageous when you consider the weight of the car and the fact it's got AWD, Brabus have been up to 800bhp in their rear wheel drive cars for a while. Do Gemballa develop as far as to get type approval the same as Brabus?

That is the problem in a nutshell - it looks like a Panamera. Ugh.

If you don't like the Panamera why bother reading an article then commenting on it?? Do you watch programs you don't like then moan about it afterwards?

so on this forum , one should only read about cars they already like and not have any input if they think a car is terrible ?
how dull and backward that would be .
ive met some great people through piston heads ....arguing at le mans in between racing about how awful / good a triumph tr 7 is !
your tv reference is plain silly as well ...
i also read about things i don't like , watch things i don't think id like ....sometimes i learn something , changes my mind .
by the way the i truly find the porsche in this article vile ! the aesthetics are terrible !
maserati is doing so much better then porsche design .
but if you don't like what I'm saying ... or think i should not be allowed an opinion ... get a life


apologies , saw you live in Norfolk .... you can't help it , poor little fella

Why are you being so protective towards the car?

[k-ink]

If we only read the sections of a newspaper we like, none of us would know what is going on in the world!

[Macadoodle]

Still can't find any love for the Panamera. Even with silly horsepower. And with that paint scheme it just reminds me of this...

[daytona365]

A 928 GT for the 21st century. In thirty years, these will be loved !

[unsprung]

The 1970s called. They want their shell suit pattern back.

This car would be much more fit for purpose in a matte black.

[kambites]

Hmm, considering it "only" has about 310 bhp/tonne, those numbers are very impressive.

[ZX10R NIN]

I reckon the reason they do it in those colours is because they figure no one will come along & buy the Demonstrator, most of these mods will be on standard ish Panamera I like the lowered stance but I'd choose different rims

What happened to pages 3 and 4 of this thread that were visible 30 or so minutes ago?

[Aeroresh]

Love it! Theres no bodykit on it though, standard panam body by the looks with Gemballa wheels. Not even a facelift model either.

Thanks for explaining.

I'll invite Angelicupstarts for a pint to explain his issues with Norfolk. In the pub where Lord Nelson used to drink
