I remember this story being news in South Africa back in the day and being so shocked that Uwe was murdered. Like, crime happens in SA but you never expected a globally famous person to have been murdered here. As a car enthusiast it was a surreal feeling.

Been huge car guy since birth even though prob won't be able to afford a 911 turbo I've been in love with since my first time seeing one. The 80 s tuning houses of then were insane. Gemballa,Koneig,ABC what a time. Great videos

I grew up on long island we moved to Boca Raton Florida in 95. I saw so many amazing rides and I remember looking at real slang nose 911 at the mall. Stunning.

As a side note, Savy's real name is Krejcir. And he is also been named, but not proven, to have been behind the killing of South African "exotic" dance club franchise owner, Lolly Jackson, who himself had a lot wild and exotic cars. Lolly was also shot and wrapped like Uwe

I remember back in the 80s, Radio Shack had leaflets you could take with you, that had a purple Gemballa Porsche with a fancy Pioneer sound system. It seemed really cool back then :) Also had a magazine that showed one of the cars being made.

[@Pulsonar]

I never knew Gemballa was murdered, its shocking to find out so randomly all these years later. This tuner and styling genius was the icing on the cake for Porsche production cars during the 80s and 90s, right up there with Alois Ruf, RIP.

[@frisk151]

Sure miss the DP Porsches.. IF you don't know the name Gemballa, you don't know Porsche or performance Mercedes much at all.. Excellent video / coverage!! Thanks for the flashbacks!!!

[@ricardocuevas7815]

IMHO Gemballa is the most exclusive Porsche tuner. Hard press to see a REAL Gemballa out in the wild. When was the last time you saw one at Cars and Coffee? I didn't know they did BMW's! Would love to find that car. The Ferrari Enzo was a surprise. But I LOVE IT!

[@ntsikelelothandodlamini3237]

The mob boss tried escaping and was taken to solitary confinement around 2015.

[@DonAltopio]

why did uwe get involved with this crime boss?

[@Mr.BrainDead]

Fun fact! the tire company Fulda, is closing its doors for good in the end of 2025, i had no idea they had a car like that at the time, even tho they are local to me.

[@iankuah8606]

Fulda is also famous for its Excelero concept cars. The last one was the Maybach Excelero Coupe, created in 2005 around Maybach 57S mechanicals. It is now part of the Friedhelm Loh museum car collection in Germany that is open to the public.

[@pistonfury]

This was one my favourit tuners i'm so sad!

[@supercarspecifics]

MPG'S Gemballa was actually released a Ville de testa in italy not pebble as my buddy was there, but its cool as for the Enzo MIG, Ive ridden in a Enzo (vlog is on my channel) and that hypercar deosnt need a single mod, its planedt , raw aanalog and fast a as f on its own, in my video you can here my say its like an F1 car when accelerating so the enzo I rode in is kinda famous its straight piped, was in a Drake video and shmee drive it in Miami and this week the same owner is taking me for ride in his 1 of 7 Yellow F50 .

[@kristianuhde5241]

I’m from Czech Republic, and Radovan Krejčíř is still remembered as an absolute and utter monster. He was feared even by the most notorious mobsters here due to his brutal ways of handling business. A SWAT team went to his house here from which he fled by an underground passageway, allegedly upon bribing the officers. Since he was to be arrested here in Czech Republic, he eventually fled to South Africa where he quickly solidified his control over the Johannesburg drug trade, even having one of his rivals there murdered. Today, our local authorities are still trying to convince the South African authorities to extradite him back here just so we can be sure that he doesn’t get out and cause more mayhem, but they are very reluctant about it, probably glad that they have him well guarded behind their bars.

Stunning to take German cars and radicalise them,yet still carry some class . I used to work for a guy called Klass Zwart ,he owned a company called Petroline,An absolute gentleman and I’m not sure of this,he was an engineering genius,invented a bunch of wireline tools,they were all super efficient and some I’d reckon he designed,patented and produced some world beating oil tools. So to my point ,He sold of Petroline to Halliburton possibly,fu.k knows what I do know is he designed and proceeded to construct a hyper car and he’s possibly still making them,Ascari and I’d have to go searching but I have the brochure for the first Ascari. It’s a beautiful brochure and I had a company car whilst working there,the Golf VR6 and I drove him home one evening,that’s when I got that brochure and he’s only got an Ascari in his garage of cars of stunning motors. I’ll need to hunt that brochure out ,a great man,engineer,boss and generous to a fault . That was a great video mate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@luiwammes4193]

If a car costs 390.000 Deutsche Marken in 1980's Germany. And 1 Dollar is about 2 Marken, when calculating very very quicly. Then 390.000 Marken translates to 390.000 / 2 = 195.000 Dollar and not 700.000 Dollar. You'r multiplying when you should be dividing.

[@muppetpaster]
