LEONBERG, Germany — Gemballa introduces the Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R, a conversion based on the Porsche 911. Its enlarged 3.8-liter engine churns out an astonishing 850 horsepower and lays down 690 pound-feet of torque.

The engine is souped up with a machined crank, new connecting rods and GT3-R heads — creating numbers that compete with Porsche's Carrera GT supercar. Huge twin Garrett T035 turbos replace the stock blowers.

Nineteen-inch three-piece alloy wheels are fitted with Yokohama AVS Sport tires to create a menacing look while providing additional grip. Adjustable H&R coil-overs pair with three-position stabilizer bars to offer additional rigidity, helpful considering the estimated top speed of more than 185 mph.

A vented hood and a large, open lower fascia help with airflow, while the giant dual-wing rear spoiler is said to provide a significant amount of downforce. A new lower lip, revised rear bumper and widened body produce a more intimidating look than your standard Turbo.

What this means to you: As sick as the factory 911 GT2 sounds with its 530 hp, the Gemballa-tuned GTR 800 makes it seem tame in comparison. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent

They look better than they used to! I've heard mechanically they are very good, which is worth something.

Best,

The question is what will we think of this car in 20 years. My feeling is in 20 years I would want a GT3RS.
