A Gemballa-tuned Porsche Carrera GT has met its end

We are aware that lockdown must be tough and that, if you are a true petrolhead, you must be climbing the walls at not being able to hit the road. But today we bring you news that will surely help calm your craving, as a Gemballa-tuned Porsche Carrera GT has met its end after suffering a serious accident in the heart of New York. Although the city known as the city of the world is one of the most affected by the coronavirus, this has not stopped Ben Chen, owner of the Carrera GT, from deciding to go for a drive.

Before getting into the details, we must remember that the Porsche Carrera GT is not only one of the most exclusive and admired vehicles in the world, but also one of the most difficult to drive. This is due to the presence of an energetic yet heavenly V10, designed for Formula 1, and a clutch that is not exactly easy to handle.

Thanks to Gemballa’s involvement, all these traits are accentuated with power reaching 670 CV and 590 Nm of torque, figures that, of course, are sent to the rear axle. Without a doubt the package is tempting, but trying to handle it under the influence of narcotics, as New York authorities indicate, is a terrible idea, and the facts speak for themselves.

Ben Chen was driving his Mirage GT through the streets of New York at high speed when, suddenly, he lost control. This caused him to crash into a parked car, causing significant damage to the right side of the front and to the rear axle on the same side.

Although police officers arrived at the scene immediately, Chen had time to try to flee despite the obvious damage to his not so precious Porsche Carrera GT. A few minutes later, the authorities managed to end that not very fruitful chase for the owner of the German supercar, who seems to be in perfect health.

The moral of this story? Never drive under the influence of alcohol or narcotics, as not only can you get hurt, but so can others. We also take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of staying at home during lockdown, as this will be vital both to ease the pressure on hospitals and to flatten the curve once and for all.
