    A little off topic but have to ask.

    Is there also a black P4/5? Or is that the red origional red one but photoshoped?
    I know of the red one but havn't seen the black.


    Now back on topic....

    I kinda liked it at 1st but then once I got a better view of the car looking at the pictures that were taken outdoors I dont like it as much.

    They're building 15 of these?

    Where are they getting the Enzo's from to convert?

    Whats with all the haters?
    This is very well done, and if the Enzo was originally styled like this model you'd be giving the usual pantwetting responses :rolleyes:

    Its not like any great beauty was sacrificed for this creation, there are hundreds of identical Enzos if you prefer that look.

    Its a direct inversion of the jelly-bean style of the 360/430, and it actually looks NEW, which is more than most designs achieve. I'd probably **** myself upon seeing it on the street, which is seemingly the desired result.

    That is not called being a hater. Some people dont like it. Im one of them. It is horrible. A Reventon is prettier than this transformer. And that says a lot.

    Japan. Look at the Japanese Diablo's and F40's to get the idea.

    I bet they'll only build about 5 at most, counting this one.

    It's a negative net gain. You'll ship your car to them and get back a heavier car with more downforce. With only a +40hp gain, you will see minimal, if any, performance gains. I love tuners as much as anyone but if Gemballa is serious about making this car, they should start by adding turbos. IMHO a tweak on the engine A/F map, an exhaust and a body kit is not worth the expense.

    just my .02

    Hopefully nowhere!

    Given that we already have so few Enzos as it is, it'd be a real shame to lose 25 more.

    Well guess for the ones who don't like the look I have good news. Mr. Gemballa disapeared about three weeks ago on a business trip in south africa. Calling his wife to send 1 Mio Euros to south africa claming he had a accident and problems down there.
    According to a city offical who also has a construction company running in Leonberg where Gemballas privat residence is located he has seen him comming out of his garage just two days after this phone call. There was no offical prove of life since the phone call due to his wife. The official status is that Gemballa is missing right now.
    The company is in big trouble any way. They made a minus of 1,2 Mio Euro just last year. As there was no other possibility they made his wife the substitute CEO and as the company is insolvent they probably close it. In the last days there have been some more rumoers herer but nothing what is aproved but if you want I will keep you updated. So it seems that this car was the last project and there won't be other Enzos that will be tuned by Gemballa.
    By the way I like the look of the car. If it's necessary to improve the cars power etc.?? I don't think so it's got more then 99,9% of the drives will ever need.

    I'm confused as to whether they are buying the cars then selling the cars post-conversion or offering to transform existing Enzo customers cars?

    I'd find it a bit strange to see 25 different cars for sale with Gemballa, all with different mileage and history.

    As the las reply dates from March, I wonder if the s/n had been found in the meantime.
