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 April 10. The world record for
the fastest production car, however, is still
held by America's SSC Ultimate Aero TT, which
reached a top speed of 411km/h (255mph) last
September.
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.
Ditching the 911's rear-engine layout, 9ff
engineers created a custom mid-mounted engine
design utilizing the tuner's twin-turbo 4.2L
flat-six engine. Peak output stands at 987hp
and 964Nm of torque.
