Porsche GT9: Going after the Bugatti Veyron

The Porsche GT9 by tuner 9ff is going after the Bugatti Veyron and its speed record. Good luck!

Specialist Porsche tuner 9ff is going after the Bugatti Veyron's 407km/h speed record with a mid-engined Porsche GT9 supercar supertweaked to produce 736kW and 964Nm.

Its engineers have set their sights on the car entering the record books as the world's fastest production car with a claimed top speed of more than 403km/h (250mph).

The car is loosely based on a Porsche 911 GT3 but its mechanical package has been totally changed. Its rear-engine layout has been ditched in favour of a custom mid-mounted engine design involving the tuner's twin-turbo, 4.2-litre, flat-six engine.
