9ff Vantage GTR takes the Porsche Cayenne a step further

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

9ff Vantage GTR - Porsche CayenneIn the search of toppiling records of peak speed, 9ff has demonstrated itself as a serious contender however the series of the German tuner’s revisions for Porsches goes through the whole scale from gentle to the most aggressive. In this instance, the most belligerent includes the 9ff Vantage GTR.

It is patterned on the Cayenne SUV except the 9ff sport utility packs great potency. With an enormous power of 725 hp, the Vantage GTR lets other vehicles eat its dust as it leaves them far behind. To harmonize the power yield, 9ff has created a bodywork for the Cayenne that is Tumbler-commendable with menacing matte black finish, and is obviously even providing a modified front end as a substitute for the factory variant’s angular headlights with 911 circular ones.

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

9ff GTT900 - Porsche Carrera GTSome cars just don’t need any tuning because they are perfect like the manufacturer delivers them. In our case , the Porsche Carrera GT is already the perfect supercar and its performances are impressive: the 5.7-liter V10 engine delivers 612 hp and generates a maximum torque of 590 Nm which makes it capable to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds while the top speed is limited to 334 km/h (207 mph) due to the safety reasons.

Although just 1,270 units of this car were built one unit went to the exclusivist tuner specialized in Porsche vehicles: 9ff. After some modifications the tuner boosted the massive V10 engine to an impressive 900 hp! These modifications changed entirely the performances of the vehicle: the sprint from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) is made in 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) are achieved in 8.5 seconds, 300 km/h (186 mph) in 17 seconds while the top speed is limited to 390 km/h (242 mph)! All of you are wondering now which are the modifications brought by the tuner: well first of all a monocoque carbon fiber chassis was added, 19 inch magnesium wheels, a new set of high-performance ceramic brakes and a ceramic dual disk clutch. Also a new carbon-fiber rear wing was added for better stability at very high speeds as well as a new suspension system which can lower the car using an electric system. Of course all these have a price: €452,000 or $635,000. Photo gallery after the jump!
