Gemballa has been a global player in the personalisation of Porsche cars for 30 years, and is a German KBA-licenced constructor of Gemballa branded vehicles. Notable examples are the Gemballa Avalanche, based on the Porsche 911, and the Gemballa Mirage GT, based on the Porsche Carrera GT.
But Gemballa announced today the formation of Gemballa Racing SE, an independent company headed by GEMBALLA Supervisory Board director, Marco Marquardt, and will be devoted exclusively to motorsport. The team, Gemballa Racing will enter two McLaren MP4-12C GT3 cars in the 2012 motorsport season. Gemballa has chosen McLaren’s competition pedigree to mount its own challenge instead of a PORSCHE based racer. “We chose the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 because we think this car has the potential to be one of the season’s leaders,” Korbach explained.
