Not another ugly 'Tuned' cayenne - Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS

Ash_vtec · 26th April 2009, 21:57

The interiors may make you feel like you're driving a grey hamster, but it smacks of quality that asian car manufacturers can only dream of...
Front looks sinister...not a bad thing.... the rear is best left as functional, the low point of the design. Engineering marvel....750 HP on that thing ! I feel if the rear had some tail lights with colour it would alleviate that mass of grey... perhaps an LED job, or anything other than that tail light.
Come on guys its not all THAT bad

and certainly not UGLIEST. Just my p.o.v.

I want to meet the designer of this car. I want to know how can someone get inspiration to make a UGLY car SUPER DUPER UGLY ?

I mean i would like to make a UGLY car look good, but this guys done it.

Hats off. By far the worse car i have seen.

ANd if noticed properly in the first pic uploaded by anekho, the rear right tyre looks like its in water or off ground

cheers,

Oh well...at least they went for posh interiors.

I personally like the looks of the gemballa tornado. The front portion seems to be too overdone and could have done without those scoops on the hood and those loud bumpers. The rear looks absolutely stunning. The headlamps are wicked. The only thing is that with the extra bulk and the low squatting stance it is looking more like a hatchback than an SUV, or maybe its because of the photo angles. But I defenitely feel that a with more subtler modifications in the front this will be a stunner. Well the interiors quite frankly suck big time.

Guys it looks like a Bison from the front.

The side looks are good and the stock alloys are looking good on this vehicle.

The front look is over done by the design guys.

Masquerading as a Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS, while this does have markedly better performance (4.3 secs to the ton with it's 750bhp engine) than a standard cayenne, it begs the question -

What would you have to be smoking to be seen dead in this car ?

Because its not, this one is ugly but the stock ones look great.

+1. Stock Cayennes look like SUV's unlike the pansy looking cars that try to pass off as SUV's, but end up looking like (what's the term?) "crossovers".

I'm going to get flamed for this, but I really really like it!

Well from the front it give the impression of a wild angry elephant and does kin of look cool. We have a Black Cayenne (Model Unknown) in gurgaon with all black tinted windows , black 20' alloys and an exhaust system like that of a lamborghini. Its in the dlf golf club and whenever it comes by people stop playing and just stare at it. The sound of the car is mean and simply awesome. I think it gambella tuned , not sure though. Will try and get a pic soon.

Guys, no matter how fast or how amazing the specs look; at the end of the day its a Porsche. And a Porsche has no business looking like some long lost sibling of the Aztec

Gemballa has done it yet again with the 2011 Cayenne!! The car will produce 700bhp with a stage 2 turbo kit!

I think the car looks wicked & completely futuristic, minus some extra scoops on the front grill.
But overall, amazing ride. If I had the money to buy something better than this, then maybe I would've called it a bit overdone :o)
