Marsien GT: key facts
The Marc Philipp Gemballa Marsien GT is a limited-production grand tourer based on the 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo or Turbo S. Unveiled during Monterey Car Week 2026, it trades the original Marsien's all-terrain brief for a road-focused approach centred on aerodynamics and handling precision.
Its RUF-developed twin-turbo flat-six produces more than 830 hp and 930 Nm. A second-stage version exceeding 900 hp is under development. Production is limited to 30 cars, with assembly scheduled to start in 2027 and first deliveries planned for the end of that year.
How can you recognize the Marsien GT?
The Marsien GT retains the broad proportions of a Porsche 911, but every exterior panel has been reworked. Its full carbon-fibre body comprises more than 100 components and features active front-fender louvres, an active rear wing and an air-brake function.
A roof scoop feeds the intercoolers, separate ram-air intakes supply the engine and side-skirt ducts direct air towards the rear brakes. A carbon-fibre underbody manages airflow towards the diffuser. Marc Philipp Gemballa states a 75 kg weight reduction compared with the standard 992 Turbo S base car.
The launch car wears four-layer Anniversary Liquid Champagne Gold paint, created to mark Uwe Gemballa's 70th anniversary.
More than 830 hp, powered by RUF
The twin-turbo flat-six receives enhanced variable-turbine-geometry turbochargers plus revised engine and transmission calibration. Claimed figures include more than 830 hp, 930 Nm and a 205 mph top speed, with power sent to all four wheels.
The press release lists 2.4 seconds while pairing the figure with 0-60 mph. ScanRacer therefore treats it as a manufacturer claim in US units rather than an independently verified 0-100 km/h time.
Akrapovič supplies a complete titanium system with four exhaust outlets. The optional RUF upgrade exceeding 900 hp remains under development and is not the standard launch specification.
Road-focused suspension
KW Automotive developed a new double-wishbone front suspension and electronically controlled DDC V5 dampers. Two proportional valves independently manage compression and rebound, with a claimed 20-millisecond response time.
Normal ground clearance is 100 mm, while a front lift adds 60 mm for ramps and speed bumps. Centre-lock forged wheels measure 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear and use Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
A Carrera GT-inspired cabin
The raised centre console and aluminium selector evoke the Porsche Carrera GT. Buyers can specify exposed carbon or mahogany for the gear knob, while the launch car combines dark-grey Alcantara, carbon bucket seats and champagne accents.
Each car carries its production number on the console. A Clubsport roll bar and several carbon, leather and Alcantara finishes are offered through the personalization programme.
Marsien GT price and production
The conversion costs EUR 770,000 before taxes, duties and shipping. That amount excludes the Porsche 911 Turbo or Turbo S donor vehicle. Only 30 cars are planned, taking total Marsien-family production to 70 when combined with the 40 original Marsiens.
