Help, the Martians are coming. No, don’t panic. No UFO has landed yet, and there are no little green Martians running around either. Instead, Marc Philipp Gemballa presents the first work of his new tuning company. As the son of Uwe Gemballa, a renowned tuning king of the 1980s, Marc Philipp is now trying his hand at the same profession. Apart from its headquarters in Leonberg near Stuttgart, his company has nothing to do with Gemballa GmbH, the company founded by his father and continued under new management. Over the past two years, a very special vehicle has been developed under the project title “Sandbox”. Since, in contrast to the 1980s and 90s, many tuning options are now offered directly by the respective car manufacturers, Marc Philipp Gemballa and his team are venturing into new territory. And that is to be understood literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RUF engine, KW suspension, PDK gearbox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To understand the idea behind the project, we have to take a brief look back to 1985. Porsche was preparing the 959 supercar with all-wheel drive and a turbo engine. In order to prove its reliability and speed at the same time, a rally version was finally created for the endurance rally Paris-Dakar. Marc Philipp Gemballa’s Project Sandbox, which debuts as the “Marsien”, is inspired by this vehicle. It is a hybrid between a supercar and an off-road vehicle. The current Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S serves as the basis. Thus, a state-of-the-art all-wheel drive and a PDK gearbox are available. The off-road suspension comes from KW. The drivetrain is provided by RUF. Power levels are either 750 hp and 930 Nm or 830 hp. Together with the German technical service FAKT, all necessary homologation preparations, including crash tests, are currently being carried out in order to be able to register the Marsien in Europe, the USA and the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n
