Marc Philipp Gemballa Unveils 830hp Marsien GT at £1 Million as Porsche’s Supercar Gap Persists

Summary
830hp and a roughly £1 million price tag define the new Marsien GT, a road-focused spin on Marc Philipp Gemballa’s off-road Marsien limited to 30 cars.
Built from a Porsche 992.1 Turbo coupe—ideally a Turbo S—the GT gets bespoke carbon bodywork, lower suspension, Akrapovic quad exhausts and a RUF-tuned twin-turbo flat-six.
2.4 seconds to 62mph and a 205mph top speed position it as a usable road car rather than a lap-time special, with active aero and a 100mm nose lift retained.
€770,000 for the conversion comes before taxes, donor car and options; Gemballa said every Marsien buyer chose the 830hp upgrade from 750hp, and a 900hp-plus version is in development.
Porsche’s lack of a current halo supercar has opened space for 911-based projects such as the Marsien GT, pitched as a modern take on the 959.
