9ff GT3 conversion – up to 1000 bhp available!

No, 9ff isn’t a typo error, but a tuner from Dortmund, Germany specialising in Porsches. While names like Gemballa and Ruf are more famous, 9ff’s GTurbo packages for the Porsche 997 GT3 and GT3 RS are bound to get a few headlines.

Let’s take the case of the 997 GT3 RS for dramatic effect. 9ff put a Bi-Turbo conversion to the standard 450 bhp engine with upgrades such as titanium connecting rods and extra strong forged pistons. Three packages are available: GTurbo750 with 750 bhp/850 Nm, GTurbo850 with 850 bhp/910 Nm and the GTurbo1000 with 1000 bhp/940 Nm of torque.

Choose the 1000 bhp option and your Porsche will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in a scant 2.9 seconds. 0-200 km/h is done in 8.2 seconds and 9ff claims that you can technically go on to 392 km/h. To do that, mods like rear fenders with air intakes (for the intercooler) and air outlets in the front fender to reduce the pressure in the wheel wells at high speed are made.

Not many actually want, or can handle, that sort of performance, so 9ff sells an aerodynamic kit for Euro 8,900, and light alloys (fits regular tyres) at Euro 4,890. There are also rims with a central lock system at Euro 5,950.

    guess its a fuel guzzle, may need multiple pits stop just to travel distance.

    hows the engine lifespan and reliability?

    In the realm of ultimates, reliability is usually never spoken in the same sentence.

    The cardinal rule of auto purchases still apply.

    1) Performance

    2) Reliability

    3) Affordability

    Choose 2.

    You could probably slot in #4) Comfort as well.

    '9ff? 9 fast fast? 9 fast furious? 9 fast fat?'

    The answer is even more simple: The owners of '9ff' are Jan Fatthauer & Frauke Fatthauer… ;)

    actually…the 9ff logo is named after his wife "To understand just how crazy the GT9 is you need look no further than the CV of Jan Fatthauer, the man who created it. A professional auto-engineer, he trained with RUF, a German company that tunes Porsches to trouser-igniting performance levels. After a while, he decided that RUF’s Porsches weren’t daft enough so in 2001 he branched out on his own and named his new company 9ff after his wife, Frauke Fatthauer."

  • that pic looks like a plastic replica.

    still, 1000hp is too much for anyone to happen. just look at the number of veryon crashes.

    divide that number by 5 and i am satisfied.

    1000 bhp.. Sure is a great amount of thrust.. The Porsche needed more than just better aero package to handle that amount of power.. Suspensions, brakes, LSD, gearbox, G-Force meter is a must in the upgrade list.. Not to mention a more serious looks.. The way it looks now, it looks a if a hand would come up and pushed the damn car to get it moving..

    The AMG boys once tried to make a certain Mercedes model with 1000bhp but it end up with busted transmition.. Don't remember the model but later it was tone down to 800bhp.. Talk about development.. Wonder how the Porsche crew manipulate the excessive power to maintain the composure with the new attitude..

    Strangely, why 9ff did'nt used the base 997 Turbo, which is a 4WD? Those absurd level of horsepower, should be very handful to handle in a Rear Engined, RWD GT3 based car, not many people can use/control that on the road. I think 750 bhp turbo engine is already the limit, as demostrated on the RWD, Group 5 Porsche 935 monsters of the yesteryears…..
