The Rinspeed LM 600 based on the Porsche 997 is just about the hottest and fastest tuned Porsche 997 Turbo available to the public. The “LM 600″ front skirt with integrated Carbon splitters appears eye-catching and produces a higher aerodynamic down force at the front axle. This increase results in a better road handling. The bigger and re-shaped air intakes for the radiators and the brakes improve the cooling of them considerably. Additional headlights with day light driving lights and the inboard moved fog lights guarantee a sporty yet elegant appearance. The newly - especially for the Turbo developed - side skirts connect optically the front and rear fenders in a maximal way. It follows the new body lines harmonically. Further appearance improvement is achieved by the Carbon covers for the rear view mirrors. The “LM 600″ rear skirt with integrated exhaust tips also increases the down force on the rear axle and esthetically supports the high performance exhaust system with integrated metal catalytic converters. Eye-catching yet not separable element is the rear wing which sits tightly above the rear hatch. The wing profile is also available in a Carbon finish. (more…)

The Porsche GT9 by 9ff will be the fastest Porsche ever, targeting the 400 km/h mark and clearly attacking the Bugatti Veyron.

The goal for the Porsche 9ff GT9 is at least 407 km/h. If successful it will be produced in a mini series of just 20 copies for 476.000 Euro each. One Arabian guy already placed an order, but only if they can break the 400 km/h limit.

The Porsche 9ff GT9 is based on the Porsche 911 GT3, but only two parts remained, all the others have been exchanged for a lot of carbon and even wood. In addition the Porsche 9ff GT9 was stretched by 30 centimers, the roof was lowered by 12 centimeters, otherwise it will take off by that speed.

The day Alfred Nobel combined the relatively innocuous components of nitrates and glycerol was a wondrous day for us all. On their own, they were fertilizer and fat,respectively; together, they could split the world in two.Porsche’s 911 Carrera and Cayman could represent those two elements: a fat man’s sports car and mid-range fertilizer for Porsche’s sales figures. But German tuning firm 9ff has blended them together in its Dortmund lab to produce the CR-42, a 911-engined Cayman so volatile it could convince George W. Bush to invade Germany.

Jan Fatthauer doesn’t work for Porsche. He owns 9ff, the tuning firm that produced the world’s fastest production car (for a while, at least), which recently turned attention to the Cayman. He fitted that LSD, and then couldn’t stop himself.

He went for a full engine transplant, grabbing the nearest 3.8-liter from a new Carrera S and boring the cylinders out from 99mm to 102mm. That encroached into the soft aluminum of the casing and required further reinforcement with Nikasil to stop the block melting after the first dose of throttle.
