Marc Philipp Gemballa

Marc Philipp Gemballa founded his own company in 2021, aged 27, taking care to separate it from Gemballa GmbH, the tuning house his father Uwe built. The Marsien is the result: a 992.1 Turbo S reworked into an all-terrain supercar in the spirit of Porsche's Paris-Dakar 959, with a full carbon body drawn by Alan Derosier, an engine developed with RUF making over 750hp and 930Nm, or 830hp in second-stage form, a bespoke KW double-wishbone front end that lifts to 250mm of ground clearance, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust and separate wheel sets for tarmac and sand. Forty were planned. The road-focused Marsien GT follows, limited to 30, with active aero and a full carbon underbody, premiered at Pebble Beach in August 2026 and taking the programme to 70 cars in tribute to Uwe Gemballa's 70th anniversary. An unusually strong partner list for a company this young.
