Gemballa is a company based in Leonberg near Stuttgart, Germany. Opened by, and named after, Uwe Gemballa. Established in 1981.
They provide aftermarket parts mainly for Porsche.
A 600hp car held the lap record for road cars at the Nürburgring in the late 1990s once, and again in 2001 when Wolfgang Kaufmann lowered it to 7:32,52 min. It was since beaten by a Porsche Carrera GT, by less than a second.
[edit] Trivia
