2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tm9_Hi6fI/AAAAAAAACiE/Bb6MXKJD2pI/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo </b></div><br />Now, the company manager from <b>Leonberg near Stuttgart</b> takes on a new challenge. The automobile manufacturer turns the most potent <b>super sports car</b> from Maranello, the <b>Ferrari Enzo,</b> into the <b>GEMBALLA MIG-U1</b> - an individually produced edition, limited to <b>only 25 cars</b>. In the last 27 years, Uwe Gemballa has achieved the best world-wide reputation for refining <b>Porsche cars</b>. The core part of the overall makeover is the entirely re-engineered aerodynamics <b>concept by GEMBALLA</b>. Without any exception, the manufacturer produces all components in real carbon in order to combine lowest weight with highest material strength.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tmzjNYWGI/AAAAAAAACh0/dsjbhG6GAL0/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Owing to the active aerodynamics conception, the front spoiler lip generates an additional downthrust of up to 35 kilograms at the front axle, according to the individual position. Analogically, the flap on the newly designed rear spoiler generates even up to 85 kilograms more downthrust on the rear wheels. For optimal handling results, the flap lowers, as soon as the car reaches a speed of 120 km/h. In this way, the GEMBALLA-aerodynamics concept adjusts to the outer conditions and always ensures perfect road holding characteristics. All components of the aerodynamics kit attribute to this: starting from the new front skirt with spoiler lip, over the door extensions to the diffuser and rear spoiler.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tm45KaA1I/AAAAAAAACh8/mWNbnKgQqJQ/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />The air duct system of the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 does not only help bringing the power of the twelve-cylinder car onto the road. At the same time, the engineers from Leonberg (Baden-Wurttemberg) develop an extensive ventilation- and cooling concept. Here, both the front and the back wheel-houses are supplied with cooling air and this guarantees an optimal use of the high performance braking system. The GEMBALLA car body components therefore guarantee the functionality of the <b>new super sports car</b> and provide the car with a unique look at the same time. Following the design of <b>Formula-1 racing cars</b>, the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 has an extended front and an edged rear spoiler. Formerly rounded edges were replaced in order to provide the car with an aggressive look with greedy air inlets and outlets.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tnN8JLhgI/AAAAAAAACic/nguh5tKh4iI/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />The twelve cylinder engine of the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 works with an optimised motor management and an especially adjusted exhaust system. This combination allows a performance output of 700 hp (515 kW). The four-pipe system with pneumatic flap control is added to the sports catalyser. The end-pipes are equipped with the typical GEMBALLA heat shield and share the exit into the rear skirt with the exhaust ducts of the rear wheel houses.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tnCpcY26I/AAAAAAAACiM/Xg6RPVcUz1w/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />In the interior, GEMBALLA devises a control centre which perfectly combines functionality and comfort. The especially for the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 designed seats, the custom-made centre console and the sports steering wheel with its leather-ultra suede combination guarantee full control over the car. At the same time,<br />the interior of this super sports car reflects pure luxury.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tnH4W2zDI/AAAAAAAACiU/4_55jGvwgwQ/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />With the GEMBALLA MIG-U1, the automobile manufacturer once again proves that its know-how is not only limited to Porsche cars. On the basis of the already exhilarating Ferrari Enzo, the engineers developed a unique car. But even the limited edition with only 25 cars is not exclusive enough for GEMBALLA. Therefore, every single GEMBALLA MIG-U1 is individually adjusted. This ensures that there will not be any identical cars. Therefore, the specialist with its reputation for unique high-end refinement once again meets the requirements for highest individuality.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tnZ-a4K6I/AAAAAAAACis/8TCbJ5RbqFY/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-8.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S1tnT6XK2yI/AAAAAAAACik/h9AbnXb7Jbg/s400/2010-Gemballa-Super-Sports-Car-MIG-U1-Ferrari-Enzo-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Gemballa Super Sports Car MIG-U1 Ferrari Enzo</b></div></div>

The complete package is available in a cost-benefit ratio that cannot be matched in this exclusive vehicle class. As a<span style="font-weight: bold;"> pure high-performance sports car with racing qualities</span> that is also approved for use on the road, the Gumpert Apollo sets new standards.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Roland Gumpert</span>, managing director and the driving force behind the company that builds the car, has created a manufacturing environment that combines engineering excellence with wideranging automotive and racing competence. Experts within the industry are all familliar with the name Gumpert. In the mid 1970s, the long-standing Audi manager was the driving force behind the development of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">vehicle "Iltis"</span>, the original predecessor of today's <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Quattro"</span>. In the years undere his management, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Audi</span> won a total of 25 <span style="font-weight: bold;">World Rally Championship races </span>and was the 4-time winner of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">World Rally Championship.</span><br />An Exceptional Design<br />The silhouette of the Gumpert Apollo, which has been optimized upon numerous times after tests in the wind tunnel, reflects its above-average performance capability. In its profile, the Apollo's dynamic appearance is further enhanced by its dimensions and its streamlined, long and wide shoulder lines. The mid-engine layout is emphasized by the cockpit, which is clearly situated toward the front of the vehicle, and the long wheel base; both factors ensuring optimum driving qualities. Massive air inlets and outlets in the front, and on the side in front of and behind the doors, leave no doubt about its potency. They supply the two turbochargers and the high-performance braking system with enough fresh air to ensure that the car maintains optimum operation for the duration of the race.<br /><br />Driving Dynamics Redefined<br />The Gumpert Apollo's suspension was developed to ideally complement the clever aerodynamics of the car body, resulting in unusual driving dynamics. The Apollo is taut but not hard and offers the driver and passenger an extraordinary high level of comfort despite being purely designed for performance. It demands the complete attention of the pilot but does not overwhelm him thanks to its ultra-precise and predictable driving characteristics even at top speed. An ideal weight balance of 42 to 58 percent between the front and rear axis rounds it off.<br /><br />Proven Performance in a New Dimension<br />The impressive power of the high-performance eight cylinder engine is based on the proven V8 aggregates from Audi. This engine in standard configuration is optimized for use in racing and road vehicles and produces 650 bhp as a biturbo engine. With a weight of only 430 lbs, it plays a major role in ensuring the Apollo has an ideal weight and its fascinating driving dynamics.<br /><br />Via the two exhaust gas turbochargers, the combustion chambers are force-fed fresh air that has previously been cooled to the ideal temperature in large intercoolers.<br /><br />The sequential six-speed transmission, that incorporates Formula 1 know-how, guarantees the efficient implementation of the energy generated.<br /><br />Purism and Luxury in the Interior<br />Low weight was the top priority and has been achieved by using high-tech materials. For instance both the monocoque and the integrated instrument panel are made of carbon-fiber.<br /><br />The seat position is individually set for every customer with padding, upholstery, adjustable pedals, and the steering column. The Gumpert Apollo is a made-to-measure sports car and in line with this principle, customers can design the interior to meet their preferences, be it pure performance or somewhat more luxurious.<br /><br />The air conditioning system guarantees the perfect interior temperature while traveling. The high-end navigation system with DVD-player and sound system helps you get from A to B and delivers in-car-entertainment. The backward facing camera integral to the system helps the driver when reversing or, as Gumpert says, simply shows him how quickly the overtaken cars disappear from view.<br /></div>

An ideal weight balance of 42 to 58 percent between the front and rear axis rounds it off.<br /><br />Proven Performance in a New Dimension<br />The impressive power of the high-performance eight cylinder engine is based on the proven V8 aggregates from Audi. This engine in standard configuration is optimized for use in racing and road vehicles and produces 650 bhp as a biturbo engine. With a weight of only 430 lbs, it plays a major role in ensuring the Apollo has an ideal weight and its fascinating driving dynamics.<br /><br />Via the two exhaust gas turbochargers, the combustion chambers are force-fed fresh air that has previously been cooled to the ideal temperature in large intercoolers.<br /><br />The sequential six-speed transmission, that incorporates Formula 1 know-how, guarantees the efficient implementation of the energy generated.<br /><br />Purism and Luxury in the Interior<br />Low weight was the top priority and has been achieved by using high-tech materials. For instance both the monocoque and the integrated instrument panel are made of carbon-fiber.<br /><br />The seat position is individually set for every customer with padding, upholstery, adjustable pedals, and the steering column. The Gumpert Apollo is a made-to-measure sports car and in line with this principle, customers can design the interior to meet their preferences, be it pure performance or somewhat more luxurious.<br /><br />The air conditioning system guarantees the perfect interior temperature while traveling. The high-end navigation system with DVD-player and sound system helps you get from A to B and delivers in-car-entertainment. The backward facing camera integral to the system helps the driver when reversing or, as Gumpert says, simply shows him how quickly the overtaken cars disappear from view.<br /></div>
