2008 9ff Tuned Porsche GT9 Beats Bugatti Veyron's Top Speed Record

Porsche 9ff GT9 came very close to breaking world speed record with its top speed of 409km/h (254mph) during official testing in Papenburg last month. The German tuner 9FF’s GT9 is loosely based on the Porsche 911 GT3, with just 2% of common components between them. It has been stretched by 300mm with roof lower by 120mm to maximize downforce at high speeds.

Also instead of using the rear engine layout as in 911 GT3, the 9ff engineers tried to get better weight distribution by using a custom designed mid-mounted twin-turbo 4.2L flat-six engine. It is mated to a six-speed transmission. The engine makes 987bhp and 711 lb/ft of torque and the entire car weighs just 1,326kg courtesy of carbon-fibre and Kevlar construction.[...carnoise.blogspot.com]

Engineers at 9ff have finally accomplished their goal of beating the Bugatti Veyron’s 407km/h (252mph) top speed, with their highly modified GT9 supercar posting a new top speed of 409km/h (254mph) during official testing in Papenburg last month.

The GT9 may be a production model but available examples are hard to come by as the car will be built in an extremely exclusive run of just 20 examples and each priced at €592,620 ($853,634). Although the GT9 is loosely based on a Porsche 911, its mechanical package has been totally revised.[....motorauthority.com]
