Porsche tuner Uwe Gemballa found shot dead

Sad news this morning with word that the body of Uwe Gemballa, who had been missing since February, has been found shot dead in South Africa.

Gemballa, 54 at the time he went missing, was last believed to be in South Africa on business looking to set up a new dealership for his wildly tuned Porsche creations. At this stage no arrests have been made in the case.

Following his disappearance the Gemballa company was liquidated and shut down. It has since been re-opened by Andreas Schwarz and investor Steffen Korbach and is now operating as Gemballa GmbH.
