Found this quite interesting, I am sure most of you know who he is or atleast who the company are. They have been tuning performance cars for many years from the the Enzo to the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Some fairly radical designs aswell. Well while on a business trip in South Africa Uwe Gemballa went missing, apparently his wife has received a phone call from his mobile demanding a ransom of 1 million Euro.

Lets hope he is found or that this is just a rumour.

Mods feel free to move this to news if you wish
