Carrera GT style headlamps

A new set of photos featuring the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS 4-seater has been released by the manufacturer.  Gemballa engineers have made a few changes to the €400,000 SUV-come-sports car in an effort to keep the vehicle fresh.

At the front, we immediately noticed the new teardrop-shaped CGT headlights being used on the car, similar to those found on the Carrerra GT-based Gemballa Mirage GT.  Slight modifications to the lower half of the front bumper appears to now include fog lights.  In back, a new rear spoiler design includes three sections of lighting, as opposed to just one.  One of the close-ups also shows the center-mounted camera in the grille, possibly part of the SUV's infotainment and night vision system.

Earlier in the year, we reported that engineers had stripped about 250 kilos (551 lbs) from the vehicle's weight.  Combined with 750-horsepower turbo V8 engine that produces up to 1,050 Nm, this vehicle hits 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.  A top speed of over 300 km/h (186.4mph) is also possible.

Naturally, this required bigger wheels, brakes, and air intakes, all of which can be found here.  Gemballa uses a 415/380 mm braking system with six-piston calipers in the front, and four-piston calipers at the back.  12x22" forged GT Sport Wheels are also used on the now 70 mm lower vehicle.  The package is rounded out with sport seats in the front and back, video screens all around, leather, Alcantara, and a set of carbon trim inserts.

All that power and it only hits 100 km/h 0.4 seconds faster than the BMW X5M or X6M. The BMWs may not hit 300 km/h but I'd rather not hit that speed in any SUV, without writing my will out first.

The only redeeming feature on this monstrosity are the headlanmps. Though I like the presence of Gemballas on the road, this one is an eye-sore. Tasteful is not their dictionary, obviously, especially on an ugly duckling that is the Cayenne.

the car was in the Dubai auto show...and i was right behind the exaust when some rich guy turned the ignition on and revved it to around 2000 rpm...the car sounds like a beast !! i have never heard a sound like it.... yes it ugly and yes it very expensive... but try to look at other gemballa cars...for the example the carrera gt mirage or the 911 gemballa they r all kind of nice to look at
