If you thought it would be difficult to improve on a Porsche, think again.
German firm Gemballa is reaching out to Southeast Asia's wealthy elite with upgraded Porsche models that aim to take the marque to a new level of luxury and performance , if you're willing to pay a premium of about 400,000 euros ($624,000) on top of your car's already hefty price tag.
At a glitzy launch in Singapore on Thursday, scores of the island's multitude of millionaires flocked to see two of Gemballa's Porsche models, the 650-horsepower Avalanche GTR-650 EVO and the GT 380.
The bright-orange GTR, with aggressive front and rear spoilers and menacing black wheels, costs about S$1 million ($730,000) in Singapore, one of the most expensive places on the planet to buy exotic cars. It is based on the 996 turbo.
The GT 380, based on a 911 Carrera S coupe, costs about half this amount but both had potential customers clambering for a closer look as they sipped champagne.
