Marc Philipp Gemballa has revealed the Marsien GT ahead of its global debut at Monterey Car Week. Based on the 992-series Porsche 911 Turbo S, it gets extensive carbon-fibre bodywork, a RUF-tuned flat-six producing over 800hp and 930Nm, along with an aggressive aero package and bespoke interior. Here’s everything you need to know about the Marc Philipp Gemballa Marsien GT.
Designed by French automotive designer Alan Derosier, the Marsien GT is finished in Liquid Champagne Gold and gets a full carbon-fibre body. Key highlights include a roof scoop, active front-fender louvres, ram-air intakes, integrated side-skirt air channels, a large active rear wing, forged aluminium wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust and a carbon-fibre underfloor. These changes help reduce weight by 75kg over the 911 Turbo S, while the active aero improves cooling and reduces wheel-arch turbulence.
Inside, the Marsien GT gets a raised centre console with a Carrera GT-inspired aluminium gear lever, carbon-fibre bucket seats and dark grey Alcantara. Customers can also specify exposed carbon-fibre or mahogany for the gear lever, along with an optional carbon-fibre interior package. Each car gets an individual production-number badge, while the launch car features champagne-coloured stitching, seat belts and instrument accents.
RUF Automobile has reworked the Marsien GT’s flat-six with a remapped ECU and upgraded variable-geometry turbochargers, producing over 830hp and 930Nm. The 8-speed DCT has also been revised, while the AWD system is retained from the 911 Turbo S. It can achieve a claimed 0-100kmph in 2.4 seconds and a claimed top speed of 330kmph, with a future upgrade set to push power beyond 900hp. The Marsien GT’s suspension has been developed in partnership with KW Automotive, featuring a bespoke double-wishbone front setup and electronically controlled dampers that can respond to changing road conditions in just 20 milliseconds. The setup is designed to deliver precise handling while retaining the ride comfort expected of a grand tourer.
The Marc Philipp Gemballa Marsien GT is priced at €770,000, excluding the base Porsche 911 Turbo S. Production will be limited to just 30 examples worldwide, with deliveries set to begin in 2027.
