Porsche tuner Gemballa takes the Cayenne Turbo to a whole new level. Called Tornado 750 GTS it comes with 750 horsepower(as the name suggests) and a new look. Vehicle weight is reduced by 250 kg (555 lbs).Reduced weight and more power means impressive performance usually and Tornado 750 GTS is no exception.The Porsche Cayenne is among the most common SUVs on UAE roads today. The people who buy them think they are buying exclusivity, but instead they end up having the same goofy-faced truck as their neighbours. So German outfit Gemballa, known for tuning Porsches, have unveiled their latest cure for the common Cayenne, in the form of the Tornado 750 GTS.
The company says that there is only a little connection left between the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, on which it is based. Traditionally a tuner of sports cars, Gemballa had to face the reality that Porsche is a diluted brand nowadays, and were faced with tuning yet another SUV from the manufacturer that provided the base for most of their track-tuned vehicles.The result: with a top performance of 750 hp at 6400 rpm and a maximum torque of 774 lb-ft at 3200 rpm, the Gemballa engine meets the wishes of its ambitious customers from motor sports and also renders excellent performance values. The 4WD automobile accelerates from zero to 96 mph in only 4.3 seconds and with a maximum velocity approaching 190 mph, the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS is significantly more powerful than its stock counterpart.
Running gear and wheels for adequate grip and agile handling
The TORNADO was equipped with an adjustable coilover kit which has been especially adjusted to the enormous performance potential. This allows lowering the car by up to three inches and therefore permits a variable adjustment of the setup to every individual driver and scope of use.The multi-part, especially light GT SPORT forged rims are available in 12Jx22 with tires measuring 335/25 Z 22.
The high-performance braking system with the punched and slit XXL discs guarantees optimal deceleration values. In order to provide the perfect gas pedal response, the Gemballa technicians used 6-piston brake calipers at the front axle and 4-piston brake calipers at the rear axle.
