Porsche 9ff GT9 - fastest Porsche ever

Posted on 06.18.2007 09:00 by Simona Alina


Bugatti Veyron really got in trouble with the latest addition from the 9ff: the GT9, a Porsche that can reach a top speed of more than 400 km/h (248 mph).

The GT9 is based on the 911 GT3 with only two parts remaining from the original car. The car is entirely made of carbon and wood. The GT9 was stretched by 30 centimeters and the roof was lowered by 12 centimeters.

9ff’s target is to reach at least 407 km/h (252 mph). The GT9 will be limited to only 20 copies, each priced at 476.000 Euro.

Made with wood... Wish the writer was a bit more specific there, that sounds pretty crude.

Where they put the wood is a very pertinent piece of information...

"The car is entirely made of carbon and wood."

I'd hate to see this crash test. Hitting a dog would seriously injure you. A deer would kill you!
