9ff unveiled this new version of the GT9 at the recent Essen Motor Show. It was specifically built for a customer that wanted a car that looked good and could hold its own on the track. 9ff dubbed the car CS or Club Sport. It's based on the original GT9 that was unveiled at the 2007 Essen Motor Show. The GT9 CS is an evolution of the GT9 that was built for top speed runs. After the GT9 came the GT9-R that I featured last year during the My Car Show in Dortmund. This CS is the latest addition...

While the Artz sleepers that we've been looking at recently have somewhat tame power figures, the same cannot be said about this machine: the TH2RS, just an ordinary VW Transporter.... running 800hp and 663 pound feet of torque that is!  Built by Berlin tuning firm TH Automotive, it features the drivetrain from a late model 911 complete with 9ff tuned turbo engine. Madness!

Check the video to see Porsche racing legend Walter Röhrl flogging the beast.

The other 9ff car I found at the My Car Show was this GTurbo 1200. As the name suggest it has 1200BHP making it one of the most powerful Porsches in the world. The car competes in the 0-300-0 km/h challenge organized by Sport Auto and Dunlop. This year 9ff competed with a GTurbo 1000 but for next year they have this new version, the GTurbo 1200. It all starts with a Porsche GT2 that is taken apart and rebuilt with lighter materials. The side and rear windows have been replaced by Macrolon items....

This was my first time visiting the My Car show in the Dortmund Messe, right next to the enormous Borussia Dormund football stadium. The show is organized by the same people that are responsible for the Tuning World Bodensee . The first car I laid my eyes on was this very special Porsche 911, although I'm not sure if I can still call it a Porsche. I'll have a full feature shortly on this very special car. This Porsche built by 9ff is called the GTurbo 1200. It was on the Dunlop Motorsport...

Let's continue my coverage of the Essen Motor Show with my second installment. Looking for Japanese cars on a German car show proved to be difficult. I found two S14s and this was one of them. It features what looks like a URAS bodykit and can be seen in action during the King Of Europe drifting championship. The wheels are made by Alutec, a major sponsor in drifting events throughout Germany, and go by the name Toxic. Another car I was looking for was the new Volkswagen Scirocco. But again I...

Maybe the name 9ff doesn't ring a lot of bells, but when I say they have built a car that is called the Veyron Killer I hope I have your attention! Because it is Porsche month on Speedhunters I present to you the 9ff GT9. This car is the brainchild of Jan Fatthauer, founding father of 9ff. The name 9ff stands for 9 to relate to Porsche and the double f stands for Farhzeugtechnik Fatthauer. The numbers that accompany this car are mindboggling. Top speed is 409km/h so that's faster than a Veyron but maybe even more astonishing is it's acceleration. The 300km/h barrier is reached within 17.6 seconds. This is all thanks to a 4 liter, 6 cylinder liquid cooled engine that has two turbochargers. The front of the car can be recognized as a 911 GT3 but then all comparisons stop. The rest of the car is custom build with a Nascar like body made from carbon and a tube chassis....
