Tuned/Modified high end vehicles...?
Discussion
The thing that offends me about these cars is the cheek the tuners have to give them different names. The first one isn't a Gemballa Mirage GT, its a Porsche Carrera GT that Gemballa have added Halfords tat to. Most of these cars are to given an increase of less than 50bhp over the original models.
Imagine if Lamborghini took a Ferrari Enzo and put a silly bodykit on it, increased the horsepower by 40bhp and tried to sell it as a Lamborghini Mirage GT. They wouldn't get away with it, yet Edo, Kahn and Gemballa do. Strange...

You'll be glad to know that there won't be any new Gemballas as they have closed their doors after going bankrupt a couple of days ago!
I won't be truely happy until I find out that the chap who green-lighted this monstrosity that is the Mirage GT has contracted herpes.Edited by Galsia on Tuesday 18th May 16:32

Its a car that proves that not ALL Gemballa cars are nasty.Lordbenny said:
The topic has been raised before, here are three for you!
Firstly...this:
Whats that?! Looks mean Firstly...this:
I like the white Mirage too
Gemballa Mirage GT - The paintscheme and exhausts make it look like a fairground bumper car.
Rinspeed Chopster - Is that red rim-tape?
Gemballa GT750 - The grill wouldn't look bad in gloss black but they chose funky-baby-poo-brown instead.
Lumma CLR500 - Not bad, quite like it.
Alpina D3 - Badges seem to have been purchased from the styling section in Halfords.
Overfinch Sport - No more ostentatious than the original car - The letters on the nose might as well say "Compensating For Small Penis" or for the women: "I Have Daddy Issues"
Brabus E-Class - The wheels look a bit odd but it's not bad looking.
Revere Vogue - This must be a photoshop mockery surely?
Kahn Sport - Ostentatious and brash, I suspect quite pricey too.
Brabus S-Class - Not bad looking, again the wheels seem out of place.
Revere Sport - The same as the previous except it appears to have two exhaust pipes this time - Must be a joke.
Matte Black M3 - Interesting, not sure what to think.
Gemballa GT550 - Very strange Peugeot 106gti style body kit on the side and odd looking stance thanks to the wheels.
Matte Black Arnage - The original car looks good but the matte black makes it look boring.
Matte White SLR - Hey, that looks very smart... Easily the nicest of the bunch.
I suppose the extrovert styling is the give the cars "Road Presence"?
Most of them look like the chavvy cars that park outside McDonalds, albeit with more money spent.
