  • In this Rare Cars documentary, we go in depth into the short but absolutely insane history of the Gemballa Porsches of the 1980s. These cars are about as 1980's as you can get! With their widebody design, insane custom interiors and unreal options list, Gemballa Porsches were the epitome of the 1980's.
    We break down some of the crazy options behind these cars, some production numbers, and some fun facts all in a short documentary so you can the condensed scoop on the Gemballa Porsche 911s.
    This is the 5th Rare Cars documentary so if you enjoyed it, please make sure to subscribe to the channel because we have more documentaries just like this one coming out on history’s most interesting cars like the GT40, Porsche 907, Ferrari P4 and oh so many more!

    Aim Rudi Neidhardt and i was the Vice President for Gemballa in the USA - I sold Dr. Valdez his cars and most of those cars you introduced . I opened the Ft Lauderdale dealership however our office started in Palm Beach- WORTH AVENUE!
    I really appreciate your podcast on my friend and business partner Uwe Gemballa. By the way his son is continuing his father legacy - we are in touch and the car he is building now - is another level - GEMBALLA - UNSTOPPABLE -

    The over-the-top excess of these cars for the time is so glorious. They’re such time capsules of the era. I know of one for sale that’s derelict and needs a full resto. But it does have the all-important LED Gauges. Something even the We Are Curated car does not have. I’m trying to talk a highline buyer into it because it would fit his collection amazingly!!

    For 80's rad, you should do the rare 200mph Pontiac Tojan. I believe it was featured in the movie Collision Course.

    I was watching a different UA-cam channel, and a guy called him, and told him that he had just brought one. Nice car's but a little bit out of my price range. Thanks for the informative video's, keep it up, I'll keep watching. Matter of fact, I'm going back and watch more videos that I've missed.

    Back when I was a kid, I loved the Gemballa Avalanche.
    I'd like to think my taste in cars has improved since then, but I currently drive an FJ Cruiser, and have previously owned a Ford Contour SVT (weird) , a '67 Riviera lowrider (weird), and three Subaru's (one stock, two modded, all weird).
    So, apparently not. :)

      Nobody since the 80's created such absolutely insane, over-the-top, gaudy, customized cars like Gemballa did.

    I was never impressed with Gemballa. Most of their cars were cosmetic changes only. While Ruf cars were more reengineered.

    Nice presentation, however, at minute 3:59 you apparently had something confused with currency exchange rates, as 400,000 DM (deutsch mark) would certainly not have gotten anyone $700,000 dollars in exchange.
    Perhaps just a slip, 400k DM in 1985 were roughly like abt. give or take $130k Dollars
    Yw.

    Gemballa’s were horribly ugly, typical bad eighties. A standard slant nose was far better looking. Ruf twin turbo cabriolet slant noses are number one, so insane, nobody bought one
