The Story

A new era begins

MPG is taking the extreme from on-road to off-road, building his very first supercar combined with off-road capabilities in a limited small series.

With his newly founded company MARC PHILIPP GEMBALLA GmbH (not associated in any form with Gemballa GmbH), the 27-year-old son of Porsche specialist Uwe Gemballa is launching his very first project starting a new era in 2021.

Born and raised in a 911

Born and raised in a sports car enthusiastic family, Marc Philipp developed his passion for automobiles from a very early stage. After completing his business studies at EBS University of Economics and Law, he gained professional expertise in the automotive industry, working for various sports car manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche.

Growing up in an environment where building the fastest and most powerful production car on the planet and setting the next world record on the Nürburgring was key, now ten years down the road, market has changed. The horsepower game is over, tuning is done by the OEM themselves, and the market is being flooded with an influx of new supercars with hyped-up horsepower figures constantly. Marc Philipp realised when aiming to build a successful company for the next decades – and not just toss the next ‘me too’ product onto the market, he needed to come up with something very special for the clients.

The vision

MPG sees a new market opportunity in the creation of special design lead vehicles in a small production series – with a vision of creating holistic masterpieces – combined with a new fresh design and technology-focused approach, leaving the era of tuning behind, and ultimately achieving a USP position in the market.

A new concept

Inspired by the legendary Paris Dakar rally era and more than two years of intense design and engineering development has resulted in the young entrepreneur’s first project: an ultra-modern yet timeless looking supercar forming a hybrid between a modern-day super sports car with all its comfort and day-to-day practicality, combined with off-road capabilities enabling the ultimate on and off-road driving experience.

The vision

Based on the latest technology

Looking for the latest cutting-edge platform featuring state-of-the-art technology for their first project and with the need of the base vehicle to be equipped with a modern and sophisticated all-wheel drive system to master the intense challenges in the off- road terrain, the all-new Porsche 992 Turbo S provided the perfect base to realise the young entrepreneur‘s vision. Manufactured in Germany, tested in the sand dunes of the Arabian desert and available to clients worldwide, production is limited to just 40 units.

The name – MARSIEN
