...is contained in every single detail. That means 30 years during which we have learned more and more about the particular character of Porsche. We know where and how the potential of a Porsche can be boosted. We know that to achieve this you cannot look just at individual parts, you have to consider the effect on the whole package.

You can only achieve a tangible increase in the vehicle’s performance if you include the running gear, aerodynamics and cockpit in the equation, and tune them carefully to one another. That is why Gemballa offers balanced performance packages of various levels.

Mid 2001, the company moved from Munich to the Fichtelgebirge. At its new location in Brand in the vicinity of Bayreuth which is famous for its Wagner Festival, the skilled team produces high-end tuning in all disciplines of individual automobile manufacturing.
