Have you ever sat behind the wheel of a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo S and felt it was a touch too ordinary? With Monterey Car Week celebrations underway this week, that thought is likely to cross the minds of at least a few drivers. Fortunately, the team at Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH has a fresh answer in the form of its newest 911-based creation, called the Marisen GT.

The Marisen GT is the latest model from Marc Philipp Gemballa, and it should not be confused with the famous tuning firm Gemballa. The shared surname is because Marc Philipp is the son of Uwe Gemballa, who founded that company. This new GT is also the second vehicle the brand has unveiled at Pebble Beach, following the original Marisen that arrived in 2021. While that earlier car paid tribute to the Porsche 959 rally machines of the 1980s, this new GT is intended to add more serious road-focused performance to the line-up. Starting with a 992-generation 911 Turbo S as the donor car is certainly a strong foundation for that goal.

The Marisen GT replaces Porsche’s standard bodywork with a full carbon-fibre package, while also incorporating styling cues inspired by other much-loved Porsche models. The vented front wings and the wraparound rear wing are especially notable touches. This redesigned body does more than alter the visual drama and aerodynamic balance of the car, as it also helps cut around 165 pounds from the all-wheel-drive machine.

Beneath the rear decklid is a familiar flat-six engine, though it delivers considerably more power than the standard unit. With assistance from partner RUF, Marc Philipp Gemballa has equipped the car with upgraded variable-geometry turbochargers and a revised calibration, bringing output to more than 830 horsepower and 694 pound-feet of torque. For buyers who still want more, a 909-plus-horsepower package is planned to be added to the options list later on. Every example should sound suitably dramatic as well, thanks to a custom exhaust developed by Akrapovič.

To ensure that power is used properly, Marc Philipp Gemballa has also discarded the factory suspension arrangement in favour of its own setup. The standard struts have been replaced by double wishbones at all four corners, while a bespoke active damper system from KW Automotive is fitted to keep everything under control. In total, this Turbo S has received roughly 1500 unique parts in order to turn it into a Marisen GT.

Pricing for the Marisen GT is expected to begin at around $888,895, excluding taxes and fees, and that figure does not include the base cost of the donor Turbo S. Given that even the least expensive pre-owned 992.1-generation Turbo S coupe currently on the market costs more than $200,000, the final price of these cars will comfortably move beyond the seven-figure mark in U.S. dollars once builds get underway. The company also intends to make just 30 units, so interested buyers will need to place their orders quickly.
