Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

It looks like other Gemballa versions I have seen. See for example this '91 S4 which is in Finland. Its not completely original but gives idea what changes compared to stock S4 look like.

I was involved in the grey market and actually met Uwe Gemballa when he visited the shop I worked at in So Fla in 1987. We were selling his cars (I can't remember the name of the business but it was owned by a Canadian named Claude Ratte). His most outrageous design was the Avalanche, and trust me on this one - it was a cobbled up piece of junk! Oh, it made for a great poster, and it had a Ruf engine, but it was a POSER all the way. Whenever you combine fiberglass and metal, its a guarantee that it will crack at the point where they come together. And of course this one did. And I only saw it leave the shop once to be driven by the owner - the guy that owned Shooters in Oakland Park for anybody that knows So Fla. Ruf also used at that time the 915 gearbox, which of course was a 5 speed at the time the 930 only had the 4 speed. The problem with that set up was that the clutch assembly for the 915 couldn't handle the torque of a stock turbo motor let alone what Ruf did to get more power from the engine. One of the cars came off the transporter with the clutch broken (remember the rubber center of the clutch disc intended to prevent gear chatter on take off?).
Yeah, I remember the Gemballa cars...fiberglass and metal are like oil and water.

I sense a dastardly scheme. I think Roger is trying to buy up all of the interesting 928s so that they become rarer, are in short supply, and thus more valuable. He successfully piloted this approach with shock absorbers, then Weissach luggage some time ago...

WOW, that white one above is ridiculous, as are most of those creations actually. Talk about deep dish too, that's not a dish, that's a barrel!
