Previously, 9ff created the world’s fastest Porsche 911 Turbo with the GT9-R, and now have closely matched the numbers with the new TR-1000. Road testing was completed at the ATP testing circuit in Papenburg, Germany where the Porsche 911 Turbo TR 1000 reached amazing top speed of 392 km/h. Under the hood is where the beauty lies, with a flat-six cylinder engine and the addition of larger turbochargers. To accomplish that race speed the engine needed new camshafts, titanium connecting rods, crankshaft, larger intercooler, and of course ECU tuning. Underneath an aftermarket high performance exhaust system was installed, and the modified Porsche 911 Turbo produced a stunning 1000 hp and 1040 Nm of torque at 7800 rpm.

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.
