<br />Gemballa doesn't strike us as a company that would be easily deterred by minor details. Things like the end of a production run, for example. So while the Porsche Carrera GT may have finished its run, that doesn't mean the German exotic tuning house is about to stop having fun.<br /><br />We<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/26/gemballa-unveils-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/"> initially reported on the latest Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition</a> back in February, when details and images were scarce, but both have now emerged. As you'd expect from the name, the modified Carrera GT features a lot of carbon fiber trim, but unlike some other weave-clad tuner cars, the carbon on the latest Mirage isn't just for show: the aerodynamic elements aim to improve the car's performance by channeling airflow in and around the supercar's svelte shape to keep it breathing free and stuck to the tarmac. <br /><br />Of course, Gemballa hasn't stopped there. Porsche's free-revving V10 has been tuned to produce 670 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the rocket-sled up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 208 mph. There's also an electro-hydraulic adjustable suspension to keep that carbon fiber lip spoiler clear of curbs and speed bumps. The package costs just shy of 300,000 euros ($425k), which doesn't include the cost of the donor car, and production will be limited to just five examples, which may keep moneyed Porschephiles satiated until the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/18/rumormill-porsche-planning-road-going-rs-spyder/">rumored roadgoing RS Spyder</a> hits the road.<em> </em>Details in the press release after the jump and photos in the high-resolution image gallery below.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/">Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/1389019/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/02/gemballa_1024_768_1124_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/1389020/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/02/gemballa_1024_768_1125_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/1389021/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/02/gemballa_1024_768_1126_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/1389018/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/02/gemballa_1024_768_1127_th umbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/2051518/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/gemballa_20_thumbnail.jpg " alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: Gemballa]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/02/details-and-pics-aplenty-gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Details and Pics Aplenty: Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/02/details-and-pics-aplenty-gemballa-mirage-gt-carbon-edition/">Details and Pics Aplenty: Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:28:00 EST.
