9ff reveal surprise 900 hp version of the Porsche Carerra GT Yes, the 900 stands for 900 horsepower. That's simple enough to decipher. But the extra 'T'? Maybe it's for tornado, considering the kind of turbocharging that is taking place here. The details don't say whether its the same V670 turbochargers, those "variable turbine geometry" thingies, from the 9ff GT2 670 but something scary is taking place in that engine bay. The twin turbos added to the Carerra GT give the 9ff GTT 900 about 300 more hp than the production version. Coming in what appears to be a less-than-flaming red, touched by matte black accents, 9ff kept this car a secret until it was revealed at the Essen Motor Show. The car also comes with a reworked bodykit featuring cut-out front wheel wells and a fixed rear wing. No details on pricing or whether this car will actually ever be for sale. Hard to imagine there not being any regulatory hurdles involved for making it street-legal. It may just be for show.
9ff GTT 900 details released - based on Carrera GT 9ff is a specialist Porsche tuner, so if anyone knows how to work a Porsche engine it is these guys. The Porsche Carrera GT is one of the most accomplished, if severely undermarketed road cars built in the past few years. That 5.7-litre V10 produces 612hp/ 456kW and 590Nm of torque, both of which can whirl the car from standstill to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds topping off at a limited 334km/h (207mph). The tuner 9ff thought this might not be enough. Luckily they had got themselves one of the 1,270 units of the Carrera GT sold and modified it to 900hp/ 671kW. A carbon fibre rear wing was fitted, an electronic suspension system that lowers the car, 19-inch magnesium wheels and a ceramic dual-disk clutch were all added. Performance improvements are evident in that the car's 0 - 100km/h spring time now sits at 3.2 seconds with top speed upped to 390 km/h (242 mph). You can get this car from 9ff for 452,000 Euros or 635,000 USD.
