Discover MARSIEN: The Exclusive, All-Terrain Supercar Revolutionising Luxury Automotive Design
Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH (independent of Gemballa GmbH) has ramped up the series production of the limited-edition MARSIEN, delivering the supercar to clients across over sixteen countries. Limited to just 40 units, the MARSIEN excels in all terrains, offers daily usability, and features a futuristic look designed by French Porsche enthusiast Alan Derosier. This vehicle epitomises the entrepreneur’s vision to craft holistic, timeless masterpieces that narrate a story and transcend traditional tuning boundaries.
The MARSIEN's development involved legendary engineers with experience preparing vehicles for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, among other races. They created 422 unique components, including a bespoke double wishbone suspension, a titanium exhaust system, proprietary taillights, and a wiring loom. The extensive engineering and design effort spanned several thousand hours. With an entire carbon fibre body comprising over 80 pieces that have passed rigorous bullet tests and homologation processes, the MARSIEN easily secured road approval.
Marc Philipp Gemballa and his team rigorously tested the MARSIEN in extreme conditions. They braved -20°C in Scandinavia, ascended the Sölden glacier in Austria, and logged 3,000 km on the Nordschleife during industry pool drives for homologation. The MARSIEN also endured the harsh desert of the United Arab Emirates, where temperatures exceed 50°C. The supercar's name, inspired by the Martian-like landscapes of the Al-Faya desert in Sharjah, underscores its capability in extreme environments.
Technologically, the MARSIEN stands out with a bespoke double wishbone suspension system developed by engineers seasoned in rally and GT car suspensions. The system, made from over 30 solid aluminium components, features KW Automotive solid piston damper technology, intelligent, active damper control, and an adjustable ride height system for versatile driving conditions. Clients can customise the suspension's colour with gold anodisation.
The adjustable ride height system allows the MARSIEN to achieve a remarkable ground clearance of 250 mm through an electronically controlled hydraulic lift, ensuring superior performance in the most challenging terrains.
An automatic tyre pressure system housed in the MARSIEN’s frunk enables on-the-go adjustments, enhancing off-road capabilities by inflating or deflating tyres based on terrain requirements.
The MARSIEN offers two wheel sets designed for optimal performance: forged aluminium wheels with a centre locking system, equipped with Michelin Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyres for road use and Grabber AT 3 All Terrain tyres for off-road conditions. Clients may opt for a Lightweight GT wheelset for a more road-focused experience.
Exclusively designed for performance, the MARSIEN's carbon fibre exterior reduces weight by 50 kilograms compared to the base Porsche 992 Turbo S. Each panel is crafted by top German carbon fibre specialists who supply various Formula One steams.
Clients can tailor the MARSIEN's appearance with optional exposed carbon fibre components available in gloss or matte finishes, including a fully exposed carbon fibre exterior. The exterior paintwork, applied by a certified studio, can be customised to any colour, including the unique MARSIEN Glacier Blue, inspired by Martian polar caps.
The bespoke rear lights, developed in collaboration with GERG Lighthouse and using technology from Meteor's European missile defence system, highlight the MARSIEN's iconic design.
Inside, the MARSIEN features a lifted centre console with an aluminium gear stick, reminiscent of the legendary CGT, for a sportier drive. Clients can specify the interior with carbon fibre or mahogany gear knobs and a range of other luxurious materials. A club sport roll bar adds a custom touch and is available in various finishes, including leather, Alcantara, or exposed carbon fibre.
The MARSIEN, a unique creation, allows owners to customise their vehicles fully. This includes exterior colours matched to personal items, 24-carat gold-finished badges, and a selection of the finest materials for the interior, ensuring each car is a unique masterpiece.
