Most people are more than happy to get their hands on any standard production Porsche 911 Turbo that rolls off the German brand’s factory floors. The 540 horsepower rocket has a stop-to-62-mph time of just 3 seconds on its way to a 199 mph top speed.

But that wasn’t good enough for Gemballa. The German automotive tuner took a 991 911 Turbo and turned it into what the tuner company calls the Third Generation Avalanche, a 809-hp monster that offers an impressive 709 pound-feet of torque. The company’s first Avalanche was revealed in 1985.

Unfortunately, what exactly Gemballa did under the hood to boost the stock model hasn’t been released. However, the tweaks to the exterior aesthetic are easily visible and include a new hood, front bumper, wheels, rear-wing, and exhausts.

Gemballa is set to show off its third Avalanche at the upcoming 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Its looks and specs will surely raise more than a few eyebrows among even jaded enthusiasts.

Gemballa will also reveal its new GTR 780 Evo-R in Geneva, also based on a 991 911 Turbo. No photos of the Evo-R have yet been released by the company.
