Now, the company manager from Leonberg near Stuttgart takes on a new challenge. The automobile manufacturer turns the most potent super sports car from Maranello, the Ferrari Enzo, into the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 - an individually produced edition, limited to only 25 cars. In the last 27 years, Uwe Gemballa has achieved the best world-wide reputation for refining Porsche cars. The core part of the overall makeover is the entirely re-engineered aerodynamics concept by GEMBALLA. Without any exception, the manufacturer produces all components in real carbon in order to combine lowest weight with highest material strength. Owing to the active aerodynamics conception, the front spoiler lip generates an additional downthrust of up to 35 kilograms at the front axle, according to the individual position. Analogically, the flap on the newly designed rear spoiler generates even up to 85 kilograms more downthrust on the rear wheels. For optimal handling results, the flap lowers, as soon as the car reaches a speed of 120 km/h. In this way, the GEMBALLA-aerodynamics concept adjusts to the outer conditions and always ensures perfect road holding characteristics.
All components of the aerodynamics kit attribute to this: starting from the new front skirt with spoiler lip, over the door extensions to the diffuser and rear spoiler. The air duct system of the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 does not only help bringing the power of the twelve-cylinder car onto the road. At the same time, the engineers from Leonberg (Baden-Wurttemberg) develop an extensive ventilation- and cooling concept. Here, both the front and the back wheel-houses are supplied with cooling air and this guarantees an optimal use of the high performance braking system. The GEMBALLA car body components therefore guarantee the functionality of the new super sports car and provide the car with a unique look at the same time. Following the design of Formula-1 racing cars, the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 has an extended front and an edged rear spoiler. Formerly rounded edges were replaced in order to provide the car with an aggressive look with greedy air inlets and outlets.
The twelve cylinder engine of the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 works with an optimised motor management and an especially adjusted exhaust system. This combination allows a performance output of 700 hp (515 kW). The four-pipe system with pneumatic flap control is added to the sports catalyser. The end-pipes are equipped with the typical GEMBALLA heat shield and share the exit into the rear skirt with the exhaust ducts of the rear wheel houses. In the interior, GEMBALLA devises a control centre which perfectly combines functionality and comfort. The especially for the GEMBALLA MIG-U1 designed seats, the custom-made centre console and the sports steering wheel with its leather-ultra suede combination guarantee full control over the car. With the GEMBALLA MIG-U1, the automobile manufacturer once again proves that its know-how is not only limited to Porsche cars. On the basis of the already exhilarating Ferrari Enzo, the engineers developed a unique car. But even the limited edition with only 25 cars is not exclusive enough for GEMBALLA. Therefore, every single GEMBALLA MIG-U1 is individually adjusted. This ensures that there will not be any identical cars. Therefore, the specialist with its reputation for unique high-end refinement once again meets the requirements for highest individuality.
If there are more than one, they can be placed on low walls. A single sink or trough garden can become a feature on a terrace or be used instead of a sundial, or to terminate a vista at the end of a path. It should be placed in good sun, but not exposed to weather extremes of great heat, gales or saturating rainstorms. There should always be the possibility of clear sky above, away from the eaves of a building or the branches of overhanging trees, with their menace of drip. The single sink or trough is best placed on some form of support to bring it nearer to eye for viewing and nearer to the hand for tending. The support can take the form of a pedestal built with stones to match the trough, cemented together. A long vessel can be best rested on two columns, one at each end.
Bricks are less in keeping, unless they can be given a coating of cement plaster and ‘pebble dashed’ with chippings of matching stone. Raised off the ground, the plants are less likely to suffer from the attentions of slugs, snails, mice, dogs, cats and ants. If the lime intolerant plants are to be grown, then lime free acid loam must be used. Otherwise, a good handful of small limestone chippings is a useful addition. If the soil fraction is heavy, a little more sand can be added. The next step is to make the rock garden in miniature. For this, small pieces of rock are needed. Undoubtedly, fragments of water worn limestone are most picturesque, but other stones can be used, particularly if chosen with roughened and weathered faces. Tufa stone is excellent for limestone tolerant species. The arrangement of the rocks should be to present a pleasing landscape. The principles are similar to the already given for building a rock garden out of doors.
