Aiming to become the world’s fastest production car, 9ff has modified the Porsche 911 nicknamed the GT9-R to produce an amazing 1120 horsepower. Last year the tuning company revealed the GT9 which accomplished 910 hp with a top speed of 409 km/h. This years model boasts a 4.0-liter six cylinder engine capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, 300 km/h in 15.8 seconds, and claim bragging rights of a 414 km/h top speed. This Porsche 911 GT9-R definitely has the potential to become the world’s fastest production car, since it beat out the SSC Ultimate Aero TT which had a top speed of 412 km/h. The only thing limiting the new car from 9ff is that they are only going to build twenty of these models at first, however all will be available worldwide.

After several pictures and a made up story of how this 1.6 million dollar Bugatti Veyron crashed in to a lake, we now have video proof of the accident! The owner, Andy House claimed that he was distracted by a low flying pelican that caused him to crash into the lake. This video shows no evidence of a pelican, and an updated report claims that he had dropped his cell phone. Hmm…the whole story is ironic because Andy House owns Performance Auto Sales in Lufkin, Texas and the company specializes in repair and restore of crashed exotics! Is it possible he did it on purpose for some extra promotion of his company? I highly doubt it since the Bugatti Veyron is one of the most expensive cars in the world. Hit the jump for the video and aftermath pictures.

This isn’t the prettiest Mercedes GLK we’ve seen, but it does hold the title for being the fastest SUV in the world, custom tuned by Brabus. First off, Brabus swapped the factory engine with one of Mercedes V12 power plants to claim a whopping 211 mph top speed. The new V12 under the hood was increased from 5.5-liters to 6.3-liters, and then Brabus hooked it up with two turbochargers, two intercoolers, and a large stainless steel exhaust system with high flowing catalytic converters. Showing off typical Brabus performance numbers, the modified Mercedes GLK boasts 740 hp and 995 ft lbs of torque.
