Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH has officially started series production of the Marsien, a limited edition off-road supercar based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S of the 992 generation. With only 40 units planned for production, the Marsien has already reached a sold-out edition status, demonstrating its immense popularity among car enthusiasts. Deliveries are expected to begin soon, meeting the high demand for this unique vehicle.
The Marsien is designed to conquer rough terrain, similar to the Porsche 911 Dakar. The exterior of the Marsien is made of custom carbon fiber, with wide fenders and a striking rear spoiler inspired by the legendary Porsche 959. This combination of robust design and luxurious materials ensures that the Marsien stands out both on and off the road.
Under the hood, the Marsien is powered by a RUF-tuned 3.7-liter six-cylinder engine. In its standard configuration, this powerhouse produces an impressive power of 740 hp and 686 Nm of torque. For those looking for even more performance, an optional Stage 2 upgrade is available, increasing engine power to a whopping 819 hp. This upgrade includes the addition of new turbochargers, an ECU remap and a reworked transmission, delivering an improved driving experience.
To complement its powerful engine, the Marsien is equipped with a custom exhaust system developed by Akrapovic. This not only improves performance, but also gives the Marsien a distinctive, aggressive sound. Additionally, the suspension system has been specially developed by KW Automotive to handle the rigors of off-road driving while maintaining excellent on-road performance.
The Marsien represents a perfect blend of luxury, performance and off-road capability. Its sold-out status prior to the start of deliveries is a testament to its desirability and the excitement it has generated in the automotive community. As customers eagerly await the arrival of their Marsien vehicles, the vehicle will have a significant impact on the market, further strengthening Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH’s reputation for creating extraordinary supercars.
