Having previously drooled over this hardcore Carrera GT modification we were shocked to discover someone had taken advantage of the company’s extensive individualization program and decided to coat the car with black paint and glitter. Gemballa says it’s the 11th car of a limited edition run of just 25 and was commissioned by “a well-known professional soccer player,” which makes the glitter choice less surprising.

By modifying the engine management electronics, Gemballa has been able to squeeze out a further 60 bhp of power and 20 Nm more torque for the V10, slicing off 0.1 seconds off the time it takes to go from 0-100km/h. The added performance has also been aided by a new, fully stainless steel exhaust system that now resounds through four tail pipes instead of the standard two.

The mods begin from €229,800 plus taxes, and of course your own Carrera GT.

The renowned Porsche specialist Gemballa has released a new color scheme for the Mirage GT. It consists of a "Gun Metallic Matt" color for the exterior with wheels in "Silk Black Matt". Some car parts are painted in bright yellow, intended to give the Porsche a more lively appearance.

The interior is made out of "Magic Black Soft Nubuk" leather with some parts in carbon-fiber.

Gemballa is famous for building highly modified Porsches, many of which are based on the discontinued Carrera GT supercar. The tuner company has even introduced a number of variations on the theme, with prices starting at about €225,000 ($348,000) - on top of the price of your own Carrera GT. That’s what makes the crash of a bright orange example by Germany’s Prince Marcus so remarkable.

The car, valued at roughly €725,000 ($1.1 million), appears to have gone into the armco at moderate speed while driving the uber-Porsche at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, ruining the rear wing, rear fascia and most of the left side of the car including both wheels. At least one airbag was also set off in the collision. The German prince, famous for his extravagant lifestyle and international chain of strip clubs, was unhurt.

Distribution of the damage appears to indicate that the car was spun off the track in a left hand turn, likely as the Prince applied power on exit, sending the car rear-first into the barrier and scraping down its left side.

Porsche tuning specialist from Germany, Gemballa, has unveiled the initial details and images of its new custom Porsche Carrera GT known as the Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition.

The Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition produces 670 hp and 630 Nm of maximum torque. The Mirage GT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds (stock is 3.9 seconds), 0 to 200 km/h in 9.7 seconds (stock is 9.9 seconds) with the top speed of more than 335 km/h.
