The 9ff GTurbo 1200 with Custom Porsche Wheels
One of the
most proficient Porsche models on the racetrack is the 911 GT3. It is designed
specifically after the GT3 RSR race cars that Porsche uses in motorsports
worldwide and is built to handle fast corners with ease. But the downfall of
the 911 GT3 was that it wasn't exactly a straight-line performance car, until
the German car tuning specialists at 9ff transformed it with the GTurbo 1200.
The new
upgrade program gives the naturally-aspirated engine a powerful
twin-turbocharger upgrade to go along with a modified chassis, new Porsche
wheels, and a special exhaust like 991 turbo exhaust.
The
standard engine that comes in the 911 GT3 is a naturally-aspirated 3.8-liter
that was designed after the racing engines used in the 911 GT3 RSRs sold by the
German automaker. The high-revving flat-six cylinder engines were given a
complete makeover thanks to 9ff with a new twin-turbocharger system that
drastically increases output. The engine was bored out to 3.9 liters of
displacement, reinforced with new steel pistons and rods, given upgraded
camshafts and a new crankshaft, and fed with a new carbon fiber air box that
fits onto a refinished intake manifold. A new exhaust system with sport
catalytic converters, downpipes, mufflers, and quad tips helps to reduce backpressure
and ensure that the turbochargers spool up quicker. After an ECU tune, the
engine sends 1,200 horsepower at 8,100 RPM and 848 lb-ft. of torque at 5,800
RPM to each of the rear custom Porsche wheels. This blistering power output
allows for the 9ff GTurbo 1200 to reach 62 mph in just 3.3 seconds, 124 mph in
7.1 seconds, and a top speed of 250 mph.
The power
increase also necessitated that the chassis be upgraded. The transmission,
driveshafts, and differential were all replaced with stronger units to handle
1,200 horsepower. The standard Porsche wheels were removed and new forged rims
were installed with a center-locking mechanism similar to those used in race
cars. In addition, new carbon ceramic brakes used in more powerful Porsche
models were retrofitted to the 9ff GTurbo and a special Bilstein suspension was
installed to allow for variable height, bound, and rebound settings. The
finishing touch is a set of Continental Vmax tires fitted to the Porsche wheels
that can handle the 200+ mph top speeds. The 991 turbo exhaust is the most
preferred one for Porsche. The cockpit of the new 9ff GTurbo 1200 features a
more sport-oriented atmosphere.
