  Sincethe early 1980s, Gemballa has been modifying Porsche cars of all sorts.Their latest creation is the Mirage GT Carbon Edition which is based onthe Porsche Carrera GT that went out of production in 2006 after alimited run of a mere 1,270 examples. Understandably, the German firmwill not sell the Mirage GT as a complete vehicle with those interestedhaving to provide the donor car. Production of the Mirage GT CarbonEdition package that consists of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades willbe limited to 5 copies with the price set at €298,000 or about $423,000US.
 Asthe car's name suggests, the Mirage GT comes with a carbon fiber aerokit that includes a front apron with larger intakes, new bonnet andfront wings, side skirts with special air ducts, a new rear apron withan integrated diffuser, roof air scoop and an enlarged rear wing withan adjustable Gurney flap.
Theinterior of the Carrera GT is also upgraded with carbon fiber trim, newleather upholstery, a multimedia unit and a Gemballa design sportsteering wheel with a full size airbag.
 NoGemballa model is complete without mechanical upgrades and as such, theCarrera GT's standard V10 engine has received a reprogrammed ElectronicControl Unit (ECU) that boosts output from 612HP to 670HP at 8,000 rpmand maximum torque to 630Nm or 465-lbs/ft delivered at 5,700 rpm. Theresult is a top speed of 335km/h or 208mph while acceleration from zeroto 100km/h (62mph) comes in 3.7 seconds.
Thepackage also includes a sports clutch and a hydraulic height-adjustablecoilover kit that allows the driver to raise the car's road height by45mm or 1.77-in. at the front- and rear axle while the kit is roundedoff with a new set of alloy wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR19 tires upfront and 335/30 ZR20 at the back.
