Marc Philipp Gemballa has officially launched the MARSIEN, a highly anticipated supercar that marks a new chapter in high-performance automotive design. With only 40 units produced, the limited-edition MARSIEN has already sold out, attracting buyers from over sixteen countries.
Designed by French Porsche aficionado Alan Derosier, the MARSIEN combines cutting-edge technology with a futuristic design, crafted for both on-road and off-road adventures. It embodies Gemballa’s vision of creating timeless masterpieces that go beyond traditional tuning. The MARSIEN has been rigorously tested across a range of challenging terrains—from the Nordschleife to the Arabian desert and the icy landscapes of Scandinavia. The development process involved over 422 new components and extensive engineering efforts with leading industry partners, ensuring top-notch performance in extreme conditions, including -20°C glaciers in Austria and 50°C deserts in the UAE.
A standout feature of the MARSIEN is its bespoke double wishbone suspension system, engineered by experts in rally and GT suspension. This system includes KW Automotive’s solid piston damper technology and offers adjustable ride height for various terrains. Additional features include an automatic tire pressure system and specially designed forged aluminum wheels, optimizing performance across different surfaces.
The MARSIEN’s full carbon fiber exterior not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also reduces the car’s weight by 110 lbs compared to the standard Porsche 992 Turbo S. Owners can personalize their vehicles with exposed carbon fiber elements, unique paint options, and bespoke interior features.
Under the hood, the MARSIEN boasts a six-cylinder boxer engine, upgraded by RUF to deliver over 750 hp and 685 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking extra power, an optional upgrade pushes the engine to 830 hp, complemented by a custom titanium exhaust system from Akrapovič for an enhanced driving experience.
Each MARSIEN is tailored to its owner’s preferences, featuring bespoke exterior colors, luxurious interiors with 24-carat gold accents, and a starting price of $583,000 USD. Despite the high price, all 40 units have been sold and are now being delivered to their new owners.
