The Porsche below has set a new Vmax Topspeed record at Brunters of 222mph roof up & 210mph roof down. Its punching 1120bhp.

A year ago I had thoughts of setting a new Vmax record as it stood at 211mph this has destroyed that little plan , but i do plan to mix it with this baby at the next one & be happy to get soundly beaten

 

Is that a new cafe? only ever been in the one in the main building.

Oh and fook me 1120bhp!

 

You would never guess it had that much power,looks so 'understated'

 

some naughty power there. is it reliable?

 

That is the best sleeper i've ever seen!

 

210 roof down lol
Its sort of sleeperish but not lol

 

thats one very fast car

 

Rod...

Was you going to drive it or Mark........??

Whats the fastest you have driven your car as i rememeber when your car did the top speed run Mark drove it.......or am i getting mixed up..

 

Are they AWD?

 

This Porsche is on another planet from what a 20year old Ford can achieve that Speed is jaw dropping

My PB is 201.3mph set when the record was 201.8. Neither Mark or myself will attempt records anymore have Greg Rose to do that. Yes I will do a Topspeed run & hopefully push my PB past Marks 206.1 but pushing on to 215 will be fore someone whos a bit more special at driving than an OAP .

 

Looks like a nice warm day , very sweet looking porsche tho , wouldn't like to try it with top down , thats some speed tho , well done to them

 

Any spec details of the Porsche? Keen to see how much work and how much money it would take to put a supercar into that sort of power/performance bracket...


Cheers,

Jesus H Christ!!!!!! That's unbelievably fast!!!

Makes me proud to own one!!!

Got mine out today actually For first time since I bought the Ferrari... I forgot how much GRUNT it had! Makes the Ferrari feel very slow!

That 996 looks so unassuming! It's not even lowered!!!! Mental!

 

it's tuned by 9ff.... Give em a call

 

I'm keen to know because I'm nosey and into cars... I have neither the money to buy the base car or the tuning package mate!! Christ, I'd be over the moon to take a wee drive of something like that, nevermind actually own it!!


Cheers,
Grant

 

youd think the roof would tear to bits at that speed

awsome

 

Christ!! Wonder what it could do on a longer stretch of road?

 

Crazy speeds
Reading on pistonheads one of the other 9ff cars could not brake intime and got some damage at the end of the strip.

I believe it hit its limiter just before the finishing so it was perfectly geared for 222mph. Its only the second time 220 has been breached in the UK in 1.5miles both times by 9fff Porsches, it was 1mph short of the record of 223mph. The 3rd best is 215.7 by Joels Viper which is just not on that level of performance & mine may get near that but 220+ thats a whole new ballgame. 1120horses & good aero means unbeatable at this discipline cant stress just how fast those times are.

 

them 9ff cars seem to make the numbers, remember reading about a blue one in a mag a while back that was pushing around 1000 brake, the rear was open to get it cool or something, was in top gear magazine if i remember?

 

amazing!! thats is stupid fast, although the aero side of things must be massive over the suit case features of a saff

 

...i see the M5 beat some cars like gallardo's and gtrs 186mph wernt it, not too sad!

 

that was the 9ff GT9




faster one now available...

 

Thats just plain mental!

 

loads of amazing cars there

 

The Porka is very understated, well as understated as a Porsche can be. The speeds achieved a staggering

 

As above, very cool sleeper you would just never guess by looking at that car it was way over 1Kbhp!

Cool as fuck


Surprised they didnt lower it to remove front area though!

Rod, I assume that you would need about 1350-1400bhp to compete with it in terms of doing 220+?

 

I would not have any hair left at that speed .

Fuckety fuck .

 

as standard yes. That ones not though

 

What spec of box was it on porkie?

http://9ff.de/video/tr1000/papenburg/index.htm

244mph!

thats a standard widebody 997 GT2 with the spoiler and side inlets...

when 9ff do a PROPER highspeed 911...

they use narrow body and loose spoilers and inlets

 

I dont have sound on my work PC, and not home till the weekend, so can you just tell me please mate if that was a reply to my question

 

Thats serious ! you would not expect that from it either !

However it does go to show just how fast that Lambo is that someone posted about a few weeks back !

 

They use uprated gearboxes with longer ratios. Based around standard casing etc.

kinda like a Fixit/Quaife/Bara box on a cossie kinda thing

 

Interesting

 

Thats mental speed

And the 1st vid lee posted of acceleration. Just listen to it. Awesome

 

As already discussed some crazy speeds at Brunters this weekend however something equally crazy also happened with a Porsche and top speed runs but this time in Florida yesterday.

Standing start, 1 mile to the timing beams. And the chap managed 236.7mph in a narrow body 964 with an air cooled, 2 valve, twin turbo engine. You have to hand it to the bloke, that really is staggering!

 

although undoubtedly batshit fast, that 9ff sounds like a tractor

 

Says on Piston heads that someone stuffed it, what happened?

 

amazing stuff !!! 210 roof down LOL i "think" the blue gt9 also ran 222 but then frm wat i can gather had an incident ??
