Gemballa Turbo GT 550

[sandor_]

but it is the same speed to 100 kmh than the stock turbo, isnt it? (stock is 3.8 for the manual gearbox and 3.6 for the tip)

The Turbo has 480 hp and this has a 70 hp lead over it with some aerodynamic improvements. That will probably only get you this much, not a 1 second gain over the turbo. And the article says less than 3.8. How much less is unspecified...

I like the look and specs,

but who wants to go around saying "I drive a Gemballa" ?..

Ridiculous name

i disagree with that.

Gemballa will get *almost* as many points as Ruf or Alpina

 

[hanasand]

No no no... Ruf and Alpina are so much cooler.

Gemballa sounds like a pok?mon or something

 

[Blayde]

Then don't say it. Get the 650 and say i drive an 'avalanche'

 

[XYZviper]

Gemballa sound cool even if it is unusual, but cooool

I drive a Gemballa! "A what?!" A Gemballa, Prosche Gemballa! "?" Ech...

I like it.

and once someone hears it, they won't question the name.

thats the manufacturer's claim. However C/D managed to do 0-60mph in 3.4 in the manual and couldnt match that in the tiptronic
