He turned Porsche into gold-plated dreams.
In the ‘80s, Uwe Gemballa built rolling status symbols for dictators, sheikhs, and billionaires — from Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW platforms.

His early projects included futuristic Mercedes 500 SECs with hand-shaped wide-body kits, TVs, VCRs, and nightclub-grade interiors.
He reimagined the Porsche 911 as the Gemballa Avalanche — a slant-nosed, winged beast with tech straight out of science fiction.

From there came:

Mini-bars and fax machines in supercars

A 750-hp Cayenne

Twin-turbo Porsche911 GT3s that broke Nürburgring records

25 customized Porsche Carrera GTs, one of which made headlines in New York

Even a yellow BMW 6 Series built for Saddam Hussein’s son

He wasn’t just a tuner.
He was a one-man luxury industry.
But when the financial crash came, and Gemballa sought help from a shadowy “investor”… he vanished.

Months later, his body was found.
Hands tied.
Shot execution-style.

This is the tragic, twisted story of Uwe Gemballa — artist, innovator, and target. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40justincase9014%3Fsub_confirmation%3D1%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExcHpZbWVadWE1YkIwTjNkdgEeH1kr8DVXw6IkTQDPSseBELIpGhiOc-bsV4c92i-YBWmXQxiAZqQ9cxCfrj8_aem_3M7TxW_3vIW2eTtZcBJGVw&h=AT3P_SsAo_bJlOwmmOuqNy_OedZcEMBshTZqmtAYmWSafcAbh7TtzfulyhfE_XTaMdxpqrC3RDk_RaZ22fpKgkCZWWZguMUbiJIgmcvuud-ThmbLT71LPeQcWfo21qpPJWnu
