Speaking on the new company structure, Gemballa CEO Steffen Korbach stated, “With the delimitation of the individual business areas and the management as a separate profit centre, we want to ensure a clearer corporate structure. This should especially also have a positive impact on current fundraising activities. All areas are currently being equipped with new investments and will be greatly expanded in the future. The focus remains on expanding our already high quality standards. We will be introducing numerous new models over the next 24 months and expanding our dealer network worldwide,” states Steffen Korbach, owner and CEO of Gemballa.

One of those new models will be the 4×4 variant of the current Gemballa Avalanche conversion, known as the Gemballa Avalanche 4×4.

Based on the Gemballa Avalanche 4.2 RS prototype presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 2017, the new Gemballa Avalanche 4×4 is a rally style looking off-roader built on the current Porsche 911 (991 and 992 generations).
