New 9ff GT9-R could be the World's Fastest Car

If you're looking for the world's fastest car, this very well could be it. It's called the GT9-R, and it's the latest product from Porsche tuners extraordinaire 9ff. Although based loosely on a Porsche 911, little of the end product is shared with the existing sportscar. Instead the GT9-R packs as much as 1120 horsepower in a lightweight custom body for a top speed in excess of 414 km/h (257 mph), making it arguably the fastest car in the world – faster even than the Bugatti Veyron.

Although intended for use on a race track, the GT9-R (like the marginally less extreme GT9 before it) is fully street legal (in Europe, at least), and is available in 750 and 987 horsepower guises as well. Only twenty will be made at an undisclosed price, but considering the "base" GT9 cost half a million euros, make sure you've got enough left over for gas and tires.

9ff Speed9 Takes the 911 Turbo to the Next Level

A Porsche is special enough for most, but for those looking for a bit more, there is no shortage of German tuners that specialize in Zuffenhausen's finest who'll be glad to bring it to the next level. Arguably foremost among them is 9ff, the relatively new outfit that made its mark with the record-breaking GT9.

With the Essen aftermarket tuner show coming up next weekend, 9ff has prepared the new Speed9. Based on the latest 911 Turbo convertible, the Speed9 sacrifices its rear seats for a slick profile evocative of the iconic 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster, with enough ground effects to match. Naturally 9ff hasn't stopped at looks alone, boosting the twin-turbo engine up from 473 horsepower to a shocking 650. No official word on price or performance, but you can expect both to exceed expectations.

Few countries are as car-crazed as the United Arab Emirates. The oil-rich gulf state has more exotic supercars than you can shake a stick at, and they're about to get three more. Porsche tuner extraordinaire 9ff is planning a limited run of convertible versions of its epically fast GT9-R. The fixed-roof version is capable of rivaling the Bugatti Veyron for speed and acceleration, with a 250 mph top end and a 0-60 run in under three seconds. The company just launched a dedicated website for the Emirates, and on it announced the availability of three convertible GT9-Rs exclusively for that market at an undisclosed price, together with this sketch. Those who say that money can't buy you happiness clearly aren't car fans, then.
