German automotive tuner Gemballa has provided the first look at its Avalanche 4×4, an all-new off-roading variant of the Porsche 911. Gemballa’s sketches show the Avalanche 4×4 as a high-riding, bulky 911, altering every single panel on the car in order to optimize its terrain-tackling abilities. The front bumper is shorter to give the car better clearance, while its rear features a redesigned diffuser, a much larger wing, and plenty of protection in the form of an underbelly skid plate. The 911’s rework also includes a redesigned front hood complete with a carbon fiber finish sporting lots of deep air ducts, as well as new vents in the doors and a set of dual roof scoops. Gemballa’s Avalanche 4×4 features chunky all-terrain tires, lots of detachable components seen by the hinges on the front and rear bumpers, as well as rally-inspired aesthetic thanks to its antennas, side-window vents and additional rear foglight. Now power figures for the concept have been unveiled, however, Gemballa does state that it is looking to prepare power outputs of over 1,000 BHP in the near future. Steffen Korbach, owner and CEO of Gemballa said in a press release that the Avalanche 4×4’s “performance data will outshine all comparable vehicles,” and that we can expect to see an “exclusive small series based on the Porsche 991 and 992.” Production is reported to start by the end of 2020. In other news, Zero Labs has developed a 600 BHP all-electric Ford Bronco.
Dubbed the 'Avalanche,' honoring the 1984 Porsche 930 Turbo of the same name, Gemballa has upped the power from the 540-hp 911 Turbo to an insane 809 hp and 709 lb-ft of torque.
The monstrosity you're looking at is Gemballa's newest model, which the German tuning house calls the Avalanche. Based off the 991-generation 911 Turbo, Gemballa has upped the Turbo's already-monumental power to nearly 810 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque, which, arguably, should make it fast enough for bystanders to barely notice it. Given its retina-burning, Barney-like hue, however, it's unlikely they'll miss it. What a from the power increase, Gemballa has given the Turbo-based Avalanche an "extroverted exterior design," which is certainly one way to describe it. Starting at the front of the car, the front fascia is clad in carbon fiber, there's new teardrop-shaped metalwork underneath the headlights, and a questionable carbon fiber power dome/shaker hood-looking object that juts out incongruously from the rest of the front hood the rear, a series of three spoilers that would look more appropriate on a military aircraft sit on top of a bulbous rear bumper assembly, which is cloaked in honeycomb grills—hey, more power means more heat. Four exhaust pipes that resemble nuclear missile silos are situated above a massive carbon fiber CEO, Steffen Korbach, claims that both the Avalance and the company's other new model, the GTR 780 EVO-R—both of which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show—will set records. Funny, we didn't realize there was a record for "biggest waste of a perfectly good car."Gemballa
The latest package, released in 2009, is the Avalanche GTR EVO-R program offering a range of power outputs up to 800hp. The base for our test car was the 2010 Porsche 997 Turbo which Gemballa then
Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 Gemballa Avalanche 4x4 German tuner Gemballa released sketches of a Porsche 911 put on seriously tall stilts that it plans to bring to production. Called Avalanche 4x4, and presumably named after the snow cascade rather than the versatile Chevrolet truck, the model will land in a class of one when it makes its full debut before the end of 2020. This mutant off-roader shares represents a dramatic departure from the low-slung, rear-engined coupe it started life as. It's unusually tall, it's rolling on tires we'd expect to find under the new Ford Bronco, and every single one of its body panels has received some degree of modification. The front end gets a shorter bumper that improves its approach angle, a NACA duct, and deep vents. There are additional vents behind the doors and on the roof, while the back end is characterized by a chopped-up bumper, a new diffuser, and a huge wing. The car shown in the sketches is based on the last-generation 911, which is known as the 991 internally. Gemballa explained it will be able to turn the current, 992-generation model into an Avalanche 4x4 as well. Performance specifications haven't been released yet. The tuner pointed out it currently offers a package that bumps the 911's output to 818 horsepower, and it's working on raising that figure to 1,000 horsepower by summer 2020. The kit will be compatible with 991- and 992-generation variants of the emblematic Porsche. Regardless, the Avalanche 4x4's performance data will "outshine all comparable vehicles," the firm pledged. Are there comparable vehicles on the market? The 700-horsepower Laffite G-Tec X-Road will come close, assuming it reaches production, as will the Lamborghini Steratto concept introduced in 2019 if it sees the light that awaits at the end of a production line. And, although the Avalanche 4x4 is strongly reminiscent of the lifted 959 that won the 1986 Paris-Dakar, Porsche hasn't built anything like it since. In other words, right now, the best way to put an off-roading supercar in your garage is to build it yourself, or to track down one of the five or six examples of the V12-powered Mega Track made by French firm Aixam between 1992 and 2000. Avalanche 4x4 production will be limited to "an exclusive small series." Production will start by the end of 2020. The announcement comes as Gemballa prepares to split its business into three divisions. Called Hypercar, the first will — you guessed it — work on a standalone hypercar with over 800 horsepower. The firm's Luxury Customization division will focus on making one- and few-off models, while the Classics arm will be responsible for maintaining and restoring vintage Gemballa vehicles. All three branches will be based in Germany. Related Video: Porsche 911 Information All Model Years For Sale Rebates & Incentives Owner Ratings News and Reviews Photos Videos More 911 Information

by , on March 9, 2011, 17:00 LISTEN 03:38 Many Porsche 911 models have been christened with the Avalanche name since the mid-1980s when Gemballa came out with their first Avalanche tuning package for the sports car. Since that first project, the Gemballa-911 models bearing the name have become masterpieces in their own right and Gemballa is ready to show the world just how special this model is. At the upcoming 2011 Retro Classics, Gemballa will prove that they offer the best tuning programs for the Porsche 911 models by bringing back the Avalanche GTR 750 EVO-R for display. This is a model that has been tuned to deliver an impressive 750hp and hit a top speed of 208 mph. Next to this impressive engine update, the Evo-R will also be heavily modified on both the exterior and the interior, with a new set of 20" racing wheels and a black and orange exterior combination to boot. Hit the jump to read more about the Gemballa Avalanche GTR 750 EVO-R. Exterior and Interior The aerodynamic package includes a new GT Evo front bumper, new front skirt, GT2 EVO front spoiler lip in carbon, GT headlights, GTR EVO rear skirt, GTR EVO-R rear spoiler in carbon, and a new set of 20" racing wheels. For the interior, the package adds special leather, a carbon package, Pole Position sport seats, a sport steering wheel, a digital instrument panel, floor mats, instrument dials, entrance blends, and alloy pedals. Engine Thanks to the engine updates provided by Gemballa, the Gemballa Avalanche GTR 750 EVO-R now delivers 750hp. As if the sheer number wasn’t enough, Gemballa also added a new sports exhaust system with four-pipes, a new sport brake system, and a new set of Coilover Suspensions. Prices This is one tuning package where, if you’re interested, you better give Gemballa a serious call. For the rest of us that just like to live vicariously through the wealthy customers willing and able to purchase the Avalanche, we’ll stick to ogling it at the 2011 Retro Classics on March 13, 2011. Competition There are thousands of tuning packages for the Porsche 911 Turbo, so choosing one for comparison is like Tiger Woods having to choose which mistress to take home for the night. Just recently Sportec revealed the SPR1 FLthat delivers an incredible 858 hp, but there were no changes made to the exterior. Gemballa has changed it up for the outside look of the car, but they stand at about 100 hp less than the SPR1 FL model. Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. SpeedArt also has a pretty impressive package for the 911 Turbo called the BTR II 650 EVO. As you might have guessed it, the package develops a total of 650 HP and 900 NM of torque and will hit a top speed of over 208 mph. We’d easily still take the Avalanche over the BTR II 650 EVO any day of the week.

When 911 Turbo S owner Eric Wong decided he wanted to stand out in the sea of Porsches, he forwent the goofy wraps and shiny wheels and went all the way to the top of Porsche Mountain, the famous Porsche tuning house, Gemballa. The tuners gave his 911 Turbo S the GTR 8XX Evo R treatment making it one of 50 in existence. What makes a Gemballa
Gemballa a l'habitude de nous proposer des projets tous plus fantasques les uns que les autres. Mais celui-ci est sûrement l'un des plus loufoques de ces dernières années. Avec sa Porsche 911 Avalanche, Gemballa GmbH se dessine un avenir dans le rallye. Gemballa en rallye avec une Porsche 911 ? Cela pourrait ressembler à une réponse immédiate au projet de RUF récemment présenté, le Rodeo Concept. En tous cas, le tuner allemand a précisé que les rendus numériques de l'Avalanche 4X4 « étaient dans un tiroir depuis longtemps ». D'ailleurs, une variante robuste du Cayenne, appelée Tornado 4X4, serait également prévue. La Gemballa Avalanche 4X4 devrait rejoindre le reste des nouveaux modèles de 911 au style de baroudeur comme la RUF Rodeo, ou la supercar promise de Marc Phillip Gemballa inspirée de la 959. Cette dernière a justement été le fruit d'une bataille juridique avec Gemballa GmbH. C'est quoi au juste cette Avalanche 4X4 ? À en croire ces rendus numériques, cette Avalanche 4X4 est en fait une simple Porsche 911 à laquelle on a greffé des suspensions plus hautes, quelques éléments de carrosserie plus larges, un gros aileron à l'arrière et surtout, d'énormes pneus tout-terrains. Enfin bref, son look de baroudeuse est clairement assumé. « L'accent va être mis sur l'élargissement de notre gamme. Nous allons introduire de nombreux nouveaux modèles au cours des 24 prochains mois et étendre notre réseau de concessionnaires dans le monde entier », a déclaré Steffen Korbach, propriétaire et PDG de Gemballa. À l'avenir, l'entreprise divisera ses activités en trois divisions : la division Hypercar, qui se concentrera uniquement sur la création de l'hypercar Gemballa qui ne porte pas encore de nom, la division Luxury Customization, qui regroupe le reste des activités de l'entreprise, et la division Classics, qui sera responsable de l'entretien et de la restauration des modèles classiques de Gemballa. De plus, Gemballa lancera cette année l'Avalanche RS en tant que modèle de production limitée. L'Avalanche RS a été présentée au salon de Genève 2017 en tant que modèle basé sur la 911 type 991, mais la société affirme maintenant qu'elle sera basée à la fois sur la 991 et sur la 992. De quelle manière ? Affaire à suivre.
German Porsche tuner Gemballa has released something they've been working on for four years, the Avalanche 4×4 Porsche 911 Coupe.
If you’ve ever thought the Porsche 911 is good but lacking in all-terrain potential, Gemballa and RUF have just the thing. German tuning houses and Porsche specialists, Gemballa and RUF, have revealed off-road versions of the iconic Avalanche 4x4 has only been teased with renders, however what’s even more ambitious than the concept is that the model is slated for release within the next two on the underpinnings of a current-generation Porsche 911, the Avalanche 4x4 receives major modifications to suit an off-road body has been raised dramatically beyond the standard height of the road-going version, with the wheel arches enlarged to fit meaty off-road Gemballa Avalanche 4x4A wide-body kit appears to be fitted, with revisions made to the front and rear bumpers and side notable is the front bumper, which slopes back underneath the front-end, trading aerodynamic efficiency for increased ground appear to be Aerocatch latches hold down the front cargo cover (bonnet or hood, if you will), along with quick-release straps for the bumper, side-skirts and rear bumper, suggesting the Avalanche 4x4 could be quickly taken apart for maintenance – or perhaps ‘regular’ Avalanche – built on a 997 Carrera Turbo platform – outputs a claimed 494kW and 925Nm, so the Avalanche 4x4 could see similar states the model will be released within the next 24 RUF RodeoMeanwhile, RUF’s Rodeo concept offers a little more subtlety (as much as an off-road 911 can), made to look like a classic G-Series in rally Rodeo concept looks like it might’ve come from a parallel-universe where Mad Max attended design school. The body rides higher than a standard 911 and chunkier thick-tread tyres have been fitted, but the changes are mild compared to the Avalanche 4x4’ by RUF founder Alois Ruf’s wife, Estonia, the body wears two-tone champagne and khaki green paint with a red pinstripe. A small shovel is tied to the engine cover and a sturdy-looking roof rack is also paint coats the floodlight housings, front bull-bar and mud-flap. Leather is used for latches to secure the bonnet, boot and floodlight lens interior sees extensive use of charred brown leather, with most of the interior covered in the material. The seat backs are patterned with a Navajo Indian theme, inspired by Estonia’s time spent in the United underneath the aesthetic styling, the Rodeo is no slouch. The foundation of the concept is RUF’s carbon-fibre monocoque chassis and the model is powered by a tuned, naturally aspirated four-litre flat-six engine producing 368kW and 465Nm with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive layout.
