Since the early 1980s, Gemballa has been modifying Porsche cars of all sorts. Their latest creation is the Mirage GT Carbon Edition which is based on the Porsche Carrera GT that went out of production in 2006 after a limited run of a mere 1,270 examples. Understandably, the German firm will not sell the Mirage GT as a complete vehicle with those interested having to provide the donor car. Production of the Mirage GT Carbon Edition package that consists of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades will be limited to 5 copies with the price set at €298,000 or about $423,000 US. 
As the car's name suggests, the Mirage GT comes with a carbon fiber aero kit that includes a front apron with larger intakes, new bonnet and front wings, side skirts with special air ducts, a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser, roof air scoop and an enlarged rear wing with an adjustable Gurney flap.
The interior of the Carrera GT is also upgraded with carbon fiber trim, new leather upholstery, a multimedia unit and a Gemballa design sport steering wheel with a full size airbag.
No Gemballa model is complete without mechanical upgrades and as such, the Carrera GT's standard V10 engine has received a reprogrammed Electronic Control Unit (ECU) that boosts output from 612HP to 670HP at 8,000 rpm and maximum torque to 630Nm or 465-lbs/ft delivered at 5,700 rpm. The result is a top speed of 335km/h or 208mph while acceleration from zero to 100km/h (62mph) comes in 3.7 seconds.
The package also includes a sports clutch and a hydraulic height-adjustable coilover kit that allows the driver to raise the car's road height by 45mm or 1.77-in. at the front- and rear axle while the kit is rounded off with a new set of alloy wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR19 tires up front and 335/30 ZR20 at the back.
