German supertuner Gemballa has just dispatched more intelligence on its wicked-looking, FXX-like customized Ferrari Enzo. The jet-fighter inspired Gemballa Mig-U1 was expected at the Dubai Motor Show but ended up a no-show. Just as well because we couldn’t make it to that show anyhow and now we have a batch of new pics and a press release to fill in the details.

The bewinged wonder looks somewhat like Maranello’s own FXX mated with an Imperial Stormtrooper. It features a number of Gemballa’s signature touches, including a roof scoop, jet-thruster-surrounds for the exhaust and black alloy wheels. There’s also a widebody kit featuring a restyled nose, ducted hood, extra vents up front and behind the wheels, fender-top gills and a massive rear wing. Gemballa claims these aerodynamic changes result in an additional 35 kilograms (77 pounds) of downforce at the front and 85 kg (187 pounds) at the rear.

The interior gets black leather and quilted red Alcantara with rosso piping and stitching. There’s also a revised center console and a new infotainment system featuring a 950-watt amplifier, seven-inch touchscreen, navigation, DVD changer and an iPod jack.

As good as all that might be, you probably want to know how much more power this tuned Enzo is putting out. Unlike another German-tuned Enzo we’ve seen from edo competition, the Gemballa Mig-U1 keeps the stock displacement and through a combination of ECU wizardry and a new exhaust system now puts out 700 horsepower. The suspension appears to remain OEM but the lightweight GTR Racing wheels are said to shave a full 16 kg (35 pounds) over the stock wheel set. That should make quite a difference in handling, turning and braking.

Pricing hasn’t been announced, but Gemballa promises at most 25 Enzos will get the Mig-makeover. Each of those hypercars will be customized and colored to the individual owner’s taste. The Gemballa Mig-U1 microsite shows some of the hues it imagines might look good on the Mig-U1 and although we’d probably stick with black, red, or white, in case you’re wondering what it might look like in green, orange or baby blue, they’ve got you covered as well. There’s a gallery of high-res images below as well as the full press release from Gemballa after the jump.
