Ja, es gibt sie noch, die
außergewöhnlichen Autos, erdacht und gebaut von ebensolchen
Technik-Freaks mit Visionen und reichlich Mut. 2021 präsentierte Marc
Philipp Gemballa (Sohn des legendären Porsche-Tuners Uwe Gemballa) so
ein
Supercar. Das war voll offroad-fähig und trug den Namen Marsien, benannt
nach einer Wüstenregion im gerade aufgewachten Sharjah, nicht weit entfernt vom
pulsierenden Bruder-Emirat Dubai entfernt.

Es
hat lange gedauert, doch jetzt ist der Wagen auf Basis eines Porsche
911 Turbo S der Baureihe 992 fertig. Er soll auf der Autobahn eine
genauso gute Figur machen wie im Gelände. In Wüsten ebenfalls.
Davon können sich allerdings nur 40 Besitzer überzeugen, nur so viele werden gebaut.
Und
die sind schon alle vergriffen, zum Preis von mindestens 495.000 Euro,
denn jeder Käufer konnte sich seine eigenen Wünsche in Sachen
Ausstattung erfüllen lassen. Auch ein beeindruckendes Motor-Update auf 830 PS gehörte
dazu.
Vom Ausgangsprodukt blieb außer dem Allradantrieb nicht viel übrig, hier waren superkreative Techniker am Werk.
Das
reicht von der komplett neuen Kohlefaser-Karosserie, RUF-Motor (750 PS,
930 Nm), grandioser Akrapovič-Auspuffanlage und Fahrwerk von KW
Automotive bis hin zum geradlinigen Heckflügel im XL-Format. Insgesamt
gibt es hier 422 neu entwickelte Komponenten. Ein hoher Aufwand.
Mit
seiner Motorleistung und der aerodynamisch gestylten Karosse (dabei
half LKL, Entwickler von Fahrzeugen für LMP oder Formel 1) geht der
Wagen bei Bedarf und Wunsch mächtig zur Sache.
Der
Sprint von null auf Tempo 100 erfolgt mit normaler Straßenbereifung in
2,6 Sekunden, oben ist dann bei 330 km/h Schluss mit der Beschleunigung.
Im Offroad-Modus steigt die Bodenfreiheit von 120 auf 250 mm.
Die dazu
passende All Terrain-Bereifung sitzt auf 19 oder 20 Zoll großen
Alufelgen.

Marc
Philipp Gemballa has created a new super car segment with the 'Marsien',
delivering the ultimate driving experience for on- and off-road use.
The
series production of the limited-edition Marsien by Marc Philipp
Gemballa GmbH is running at full speed. This super car is all terrain
capable, suitable for everyday use, technology focused and futuristic in
appearance designed by French Porsche aficionado Alan Derosier. It
embodies the entrepreneur's vision of creating holistic and timeless
masterpieces that tell a story and go far beyond the scope of the
traditional tuning business.
Made for the extremes
Legendary
engineers who have made vehicles competition-ready for the 24 Hours of
Le Mans and other races were involved in the development of the Marsien
and the 422 specially developed components from bespoke double wishbone
suspension, titanium exhaust system, along with own taillights, wiring
loom, which took several thousand hours of engineering and design. The MARSIEN’s full carbon fiber body consisting of more than 80 single carbon fiber components that mastered bullet tests, the homologation of the taillights and the vehicle as a whole, to only name a few major tests passed in the process of gaining road approval.
In order to put Marsien through its paces, Marc Philipp Gemballa and his team travelled to Scandinavia, (-20 degrees Celsius), drove up the glacier in Sölden (Austria) and covered 3,000 km on the Nordschleife as part of the industry pool drives for homologation.
The
sizzling desert in the United Arab Emirates (+50 degrees Celsius) was
also part of the rigorous testing. It was there, in the Al-Faya desert
in the Emirate of Sharjah, that the model name was born.
The red desert sand combined with the unparalleled mountain landscape took the test team’s breath away. “We felt like we were on Mars,” Marc Philipp Gemballa recalls. The surroundings were reminiscent of the red planet, and the conditions on site made the super car feel right at home – after all, it was made precisely for such extreme conditions. Hence the name Marsien, derived from the French word “Martian” or “from Mars”. Wheel sets for on- and offroad use
For
perfect driving conditions both on- and off-road, this supercar comes
with two specially designed forged aluminum wheel sets with center
locking system, running on Michelin Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires
for on-road and Grabber AT 3 All Terrain tires for off-road use.

Cutting edge suspension technology
As
one of the key technological highlights, zhis supercar features a completely
bespoke double wishbone suspension setup developed by the engineers
responsible for countless rally, GT and special series’ suspensions.
The
suspension system consisting of more than 30 individual components
milled from solid aluminum, implements extensive changes to the chassis
of the base vehicle and is equipped with KW Automotive solid piston
damper technology featuring an intelligent active damper control as well
as an adjustable ride height system for on and off-road use.
As part of
the special options program, the suspension components can be anodized
in gold according to the client’s wishes.
The
adjustable ride height system enables an electronically controlled
hydraulic lift system to increase the ground clearance to an
unprecedented ride height of 250 mm. This enables the masterpiece to deliver
the ultimate on- and off-road driving experience, performing in terrain
that no other super car can dream of.
An automatic tire pressure
system has been integrated into the frunk, allowing the driver to adjust
the tire pressure to the requirements of any given terrain on the go by
inflating or deflating the tire and enhancing the off-road performance.
Wheel sets for on- and offroad use
For
perfect driving conditions both on- and off-road, this supercar comes
with two specially designed forged aluminum wheel sets with center
locking system, running on Michelin Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires
for on-road and Grabber AT 3 All Terrain tires for off-road use. Optionally
clients can specify their car with an even more road-focused
Lightweight GT wheel set, further enhancing on-road performance.
The
Lightweight GT wheel set of the launch vehicle has been painted in a
triple layer pearlescent white reminiscent of the exterior launch color
of the prototype specification, while the off-road wheel set has been
painted in a deep navy-blue matte finish.
Both wheel sets are equipped with wheel caps in 24-carat gold featuring the G crest.Exterior: full carbon fiber
The
Marsien features a full carbon fiber exterior consisting of more than
85 individual carbon fiber components including air channels, wing
mirrors, wheel arch liners and a rear panel that reaches all the way
from the A-pillar to the rear wing.

All exposed carbon fiber components can be specified in gloss or matte and optionally in tinted carbon finish.Exterior: whow paintwork
The
exterior paintwork is applied by a state-of-the-art and certified paint
studio that is able to fulfil the most daring customer color requests.
Exterior: whow paintwork
The
exterior paintwork is applied by a state-of-the-art and certified paint
studio that is able to fulfil the most daring customer color requests. For
the specification of the series launch vehicle, an elaborate one-off
four- layer blue pearlescent exterior color with special metallic flakes
has been created, which changes the color of the vehicle according to
the direction of the light and angle of view.
The
color requires extensive preparation of the bodywork and was inspired
by the polar caps on Mars and has therefore been named Marsien Glacier
Blue.
Bespoke rear light technology
The rear design features a completely bespoke rear light that has been developed in collaboration with light specialist GERG Lighthouse.
The manufacturing technology for the rear light has also been utilized
for the European missile defense system Meteor and represents an
integral part of the iconic design of the car.Interior: dreams come true
The
interior also features several specifically designed elements. The
center console has been lifted and equipped with an aluminum gear stick
inspired by the legendary CGT, allowing for a sportier, more analog
driving experience. It can be optionally fitted with a gear knob in
carbon or mahogany instead of leather or Alcantara. As
part of the special options program, clients can specify the carbon
fiber interior package, adding further exposed carbon fiber elements to
the driver's cabin. Furthermore, clients have the option to add a club
sport roll bar behind the seats that can be painted in color of choice,
or finished in leather, Alcantara, or exposed carbon fiber.
Finally,
the metal badge displaying the individual production number of the
limited series of just 40 pieces is embedded in the center console –
lending a special touch to the cabin.
The interior specification of the launch vehicle has been finished in a navy blue Alcantara combined with interior accent elements in ice blue for the stitching, seat belts, door lashes, and instrument dials matching the Glacier Blue exterior paint.
