Gamballa Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R.





German tuning house Gemballa is turning its Porsche amps to eleven once again with the shockingly powerful Avalanche GTR 800 EVO-R.

The Avalanche offers performance modifications that should make ordinary 911 Turbo owners sit up and take notice. Most prominent of these is a set of two Garret T035 turbochargers in place of the standard units, which boost output to a wild 850 horsepower. A rise in engine capacity to 3.8-liters, along with GT3-R heads and a machined crankshaft also aid in creating such prodigious thrust.

Visually, the Avalanche has gotten even more aggressive to match its newfound power, adding 19-inch three-piece alloy wheels, a two-part carbon fiber rear wing, and a matching, vented front hood.

Porsche 997 GT3 RS named 2007 EVO Car of the Year


EVO magazine has picked its Car of the Year Winner: the Porsche GT3 RS, which we're going to call The Orange Crush from now on. It only just beat out the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, and had only slightly more breathing between it and the third place Audi R8. Looking at the entire top ten list, two race-cars-for-the-street beat eight other cars with nifty little features like power windows and leather seats, which makes sense, but even cars like the 350Z and Mini Cooper S Works still made it on the list.

However, the most interesting result could be that the Honda Civic Type R came in sixth... one spot ahead of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. We have no idea what their exact criteria was, not having read the article, but it appears that at EVO, raging bulls should be a little more ... civic.
