I don't think enough people appreciate this guys insane storytelling skills.

Gemballa designs look like if Pimp My Ride had money to actually build out the stuff they made just temporary for TV.

" They are not MTV, they didn't pimp cars . Xzibit A"


It can't be a coincidence 😂

[SIMULATAN]

"Habibi, I've got to have it!" LMAO 😂
Great video as usual :)

The MIG-U1 was the last car Uwe made. It was based off the MIG-25 Foxbat.

I remember this story being news in South Africa back in the day and being so shocked that Uwe was murdered. Like, crime happens in SA but you never expected a globally famous person to have been murdered here. As a car enthusiast it was a surreal feeling.

A mini bar in a car. Gotta love the 80s.

military guy with the bmw in the pic is hard as fuck

[rushmatic]

I remember the rumor that he was stashing cash inside the wide body during shipping for laundering purposes.

Just found you but really appreciate bringing light to such a automotive legend and honoring his legacy and sharing it with the broader audience ❤

is a freedom dollar one that goes down in value every day like the sun? one like we have today ?

I grew up on long island we moved to Boca Raton Florida in 95. I saw so many amazing rides and I remember looking at real slang nose 911 at the mall. Stunning.

[NYHeeb]

Been huge car guy since birth even though prob won't be able to afford a 911 turbo I've been in love with since my first time seeing one. The 80 s tuning houses of then were insane. Gemballa, Koneig, ABC what a time. Great videos

[Arexion]

Only reason I know of Gemballa is thanks to Midnight Club 3 and Toca Race Driver 3.

[ChristianAtackViamob]

Great video. A friend of mine has a genuine 993 Gemballa Gtr 600 and it is just insane

As a side note, Savy's real name is Krejcir. And he is also been named, but not proven, to have been behind the killing of South African "exotic" dance club franchise owner, Lolly Jackson, who himself had a lot wild and exotic cars. Lolly was also shot and wrapped like Uwe

The mob boss tried escaping and was taken to solitary confinement around 2015.

The Mirage GT was Gemballa's best work!

[smytster]

My dad was part of the crew when settings the world record, he still has ton of Pictures and shirts with the lap time printed

Nice video. DM 390, 000 were about USD180, 000 back then, I didn't know they did BMW.
