Under the bonnet, Gemballa’s MP4-12C GT3 hides a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 along with a high-performance racing gearbox but also aerodynamic tweaks such as air vents, a rear air diffuser, rear wing and front splitter. In order to keep the model safe, the Germans fitted the model with a carbon safety cell able to protect the driver in case of an accident.
