After much anticipation, Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH has finally revealed its tribute to Porsche s iconic 959 Paris-to-Dakar racer that s loved by many.
Revealed as the Marsien, this Porsche starts life as a 911 Turbo S, but undergoes a number of modifications, that leaves it as a high-riding, all-wheel drive, carbon fibre-clad monster.
Before we dive into the Marsien, it s worth noting that Marc Philipp Gemballa is the son of Uwe Gemballa, and has started a completely different company to the one that his late father used to run.
If you re wondering where the name came from, it s the French word for Martian, because this car was tested in the red sands of the Al Faya desert, a landscape that looks like Mars.

This Marsien supercar was conceptualized by Marc Philipp Gemballa, the 27-year-old son of late German tuner Uwe Gemballa, responsible for visually stunning and record-breaking road cars. The Marc Philipp Gemballa GmbH venture, however, isn’t associated with the Gemballa brand. The Marsien is the first offering from Marc Philipp who has launched his own start-up following in his father’s footsteps.
The car has been given the name “Marsien” after being put to the test in the otherworldly backdrop of the Al Faya desert. The modified Porsche 992 Turbo S is a blend between modern-day hypercar performance, off-road capabilities, and daily practicality, resulting in the ultimate driving experience with the latest technologies on all terrains.
