German specialty Porsche tuner Gemballa has released more details on the Gemballa Mistrale, a model based on the Porsche Panamera.

We've seen the exterior and its carbon fiber aerodynamic package before, with all those air intakes hinting at some serious boost in performance. Gemballa says it can go up to 750 hp, suggesting it will have various levels of power boost but does not provide the details yet.

Gemballa also offers an air suspension system that lowers the Panamera by up to 40 millimeters. A new four-piped sport exhaust system is in the cards too.

Gemballa touts its own 22-inch forged rims and a brake system to keep all 750 horses in check. That comes with 6-piston brake calipers at the front and 4 at the back. Brake discs are 420 mm and 380 mm for the front and back, respectively.

Gemballa promises to leave its "distinctive mark" on the interior cabin as well. Though, we will just have to wait to see what that looks like.

GEMBALLA MISTRALE - the new, fascinating GEMBALLA luxury limousine based on Porsche Panamera models

Right at the market introduction of the Porsche Panamera, GEMBALLA Automobiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG for the first time publishes images of the GEMBALLA MISTRALE and presents fascinating features. The design of the GEMBALLA luxury limousine is even more dynamic, more striking and significantly more exclusive than its serial counterpart. For perfect surface quality and custom-fit processing of the newly designed aerodynamics components, GEMBALLA mainly uses the ultra-light and high-strength material carbon.

Part of the dynamic front look is a far more sporty front skirt. Larger air inlets guarantee the optimal supply with fresh air for future performance increases. An integrated carbon lip and an elegantly formed bonnet with slotted ventilation ducts complete the lifting-force reducing front. A striking eye-catcher of the GEMBALLA MISTRALE and visual allusion to the classic 911-design are the extended front and rear fenders. A newly designed rear apron with integrated diffuser provides enough space for four end pipes of the sport exhaust system and seamlessly fits into the overall package.

But not only design and aerodynamics are refined by GEMALLA. Also the performance of the four-door automobile is significantly improved. A newly programmed air suspension module with extended setting range lowers the centre of gravity up to 40 millimetres. For especially ambitious customers, GEMBALLA offers a height-adjustable coilover suspension. In connection with the ultra-light 22-inch forged rims both versions render best vehicle control and also optimal road contact. For excellent deceleration values and perfect pedal control, GEMBALLA adds a high-performance brake system. 6-piston brake callipers with 420 millimetre brake discs at the front axle and 4-piston brake callipers with 380 millimetre brake discs at the back axle replace the serial components.

GEMBALLA, the specialist for high-end Porsche refinement and innovative engineer design plans further modifications, such as powerful performance enhancements up to 750 hp for different serial engines. And also in the interior, owner Uwe Gemballa leaves his distinctive mark with an innovative design and unsurpassable quality as usual.

There go all of my hopes of Gemballa improving the looks of the Panamera. They didn't. However, putting those rims on the 9ff version will look pretty cool!

i like the red Porsche stripe at the back and the exhausts , but i don't like the wheels.

That red stripe/reflector should have joined up with the tailights, like the 911 4/4S. Apart from that, it looks alright to me.

The 9ff version looks much better. 9ffUAE is opening soon and i cant wait to see the monster up close. Then again ... 9ff will also offer the 9ff GT9R in the UAE so i am more excited about that ... 1120 BHP ... thats the fastest road legal car in the world.

I think TechArt has the solution for this car.

i like the exhaust and where they are placed, looks better than the back of the 9ff- Pana.it gives the back a more dynamic and brutal look. the wheels look very cheap and the front unit is far too friendly compared to the 9ff.

This ride is so UGLY even tuned up. Porsche designers did a TERRIBLE job for the looks of this car.

Someone needs to improve the looks, however i don't think a bit of body kit will do the trick.
