1120hp 9ff GT9-R

The folks over at 9ff have a serious addiction to speed. They spent the best part of a year developing the original 987 hp GT9. A monster of a machine that they managed to beat down the track at a death defying 409km/h, a good 2km/h faster than the Bugatti Veyron but just shy of the world production car speed record currently held by SSC Ultimate Aero which stands at 411.71km/h(255.83mph).

Now the German Tuner has released the first image of the GT9 R which boasts a massive power output of 1120 horsepower(835.18kW) and 1050Nm (774.34lb-ft) of toque. No further details have been released yet, but with the Essen Tuning Show coming up at the end of the month, a betting man may have a flutter at more juicy details surfacing around the said time.

It still doesn't beat the Veyrons accomplishment. Anyone with a lot of money can make a really really fast and high powered car. The feat here is making it a warranted production car which 9ff will never be. Its some dude in a German tuning shop. He could take the new RS6 or even the old one and get 1100 HP out of it still isn't a production car. oh yeah and what about the Veyron GT...

A lot of cars are faster than the Veyron, they're just not production vehicles that you can practically drive everyday. That's what makes the Veyron so special. This Porsche is so heavily tuned it's probably more expensive than the Veyron as well. It's great to see cars cracking the 1000hp line, but the Veyron doesn't compare.

veyron is great, nbothing can match it when it comes to reliability and how easy to drive it is.

give credit where it's due, this thing will be insane around nardo. that said, it hasn't got a scratch on the veyron - nothing has come out to compete with it yet

Leave me alone with that SCC-Aero thing, it's topspeed has never been officially recorded!

Also I prefer understatement, but with this machine being so hot and fast, this is my new dream-car!

more elegant supercar then a Veyron I think. remember me to the great GT1-versions of 993 and 996. The specs are awesome. I can imagine it has a better handling then the Bugatti. Any information of the net weight?

SSC Aero would smoke the veyron and that wannabe porsche! 257mph... Can that porsche beat that? I dont think so...

First of all , it's better looking than the veyron 2 : more powerful and finally is that a serious question Cronus111 ? if so then i'll answer you logically , if the 987 hp GT9 reached 255.62 mph , how can't this version which is more powerful by 133 bhp do 2 mph more (which will be sufficient to beat SSC record)?
