The appetite for bespoke supercars shows no sign of abating – at least, that’s the hope of new start-up Marc Philipp Gemballa and its debut machine, the Marsien. The company’s founder has a name that’ll be familiar to supercar spotters; his father, Uwe Gemballa, founded a business creating bespoke, highly customised and elaborate-based designs in the heights of 1980s excess. Gemballa Sr’s company continues to this day, despite his murder in South Africa in 2010.
Underneath all this is a Porsche 992 Turbo S base vehicle – the current model of 911 – with an engine upgraded by engineering specialists RUF to make over 750 horsepower. Other specialist components include the lighting and exhaust system.
To cope with these alien landscapes, the Marsien has a specialist rally-derived suspension set-up with custom components and a hydraulic lift system that can give a ride height of up to 250mm. There’s also an automatic tyre pressure system, with specially designed aluminium wheels and Michelin tyres for road use and Grabber AT 3 All Terrain tyres for hitting the rough.
A beachfront house designed by Cincopatasalgato Architects and Pepe Cabrera Homes, Al Suave House in El Zonte offers the ultimate ocean-front experienceThe new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS marks the debut of Porsche’s T-Hybrid system, boosting performance and efficiency.
