Million Dollar Gemballa GT Crashes!
Quick! Can somebody say “Slow Down Homey!” in German? Why you ask? Because Germany’s Prince Marcus wrecked his highly modified Porsche Carrera GT while speeding around a circuit in France! The car, valued at $1.1 million dollars, crashed while being driven at the Paul Ricard circuit track. The accident apparently took place when the vehicle ran onto the armco at moderate speed. The collision ruined the rear wing, rear fascia and the majority of the left side of the car. The damage to the Porsche indicates that the car spun off the track in a left hand turn, most likely as the Prince was accelerating on exit that sent the vehicle rear-first into the barrier wall and scraping down its left side. The impact set off at least one airbag. The reason that the car was so valuable was because of the modifications the vehicle had done to it by Gemballa. The German tuning company is very well known for building highly modified Porsches. Gemballa has launched lots of variations and many are based on the discontinued Carrera GT supercar. The reason that the crash of this model is newsworthy is because prices for the tuning company’s modification packages begin at just under $350,000! I guess the Prince, who is well known for his lavish lifestyle and international chain of strip clubs, better take it easy on the turn next time!
