Porche's 9ff GT9 254 mph Not Fast Enough



Porsche's 9ff GT9 seemed like an ideal supercar. The GT9 can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and has a top speed of 254 mph, exceeding the Bugatti Veyron's 248 mph. 9ff, a German tuning company, was not satisfied. Now comes the GT9-R, the "R" added to annotate ridiculous. The 9ff GT9-R is offered in three stages so the consumer can learn how to handle the car in steps with a lessened risk. The high note of the 9ff GT9-R is its third stage. A 6 cylinder 4.0L turbocharged boxer engine is used to produce a remarkable 1,120 horsepower and 774.4 pounds of twist. This allows the GT9-R to achieve a 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, and a 0 to 186 mph in just 15.8 seconds. The GT9-r can reach a top speed of 257 mph.
