9ff Engineering, known for its outrageous Porsche modifications, has unveiled the F92 GTurbo, a kit that transforms any GT3 into a potent powerhouse. With a twin-turbocharged setup, the F92 GTurbo delivers a staggering 760hp and 553lb-ft of torque, making it a force to be reckoned with on the track.
Concerned the GT3 lacks a bit of welly? Two turbos and 760hp ought to sort that. Those of you with a working knowledge of Porsche tuners - more PHers than not, we'd wager - might remember 9ff. Back in the '00s, it was legendary for truly crazy Porsche -shaped supercars like the 1,000hp, six-speed, the 216mph CT78 that was once a Cayman and the 236mph TRC-85 - at the time the fastest convertible in the world. Power was 9ff’s stock in trade, until filing for bankruptcy in 2013.
But a new company - 9ff Engineering - was formed later that same year and soon up to very similar antics. If a Porsche didn’t have a turbo, fit at least one; if it did have turbochargers, make them bigger. This is its latest offering, the F92 GTurbo, resurrecting a 9ff tradition first seen back in 2010: strapping a pair of blowers onto a GT3, for those who must have 9,000rpm and the torque of a Turbo. Available for all GT3s and ST and manual or PDK transmissions, 9ff is promising 760hp and 553lb ft. This is the first round of tuning, moreover; like the good old days, 1,000hp is said to be in the offing. Generating that additional 50 per cent in output is a pair of ceramic ball bearing turbos, a 9ff manifold, its own exhaust and high flow cats, a chunky intercooler and all the associated plumbing, an uprated clutch, presumably quite involved ECU remapping, and a boost pressure control; that features two settings for those occasions when McLaren-rivalling power isn’t needed. Some serious hardware for a serious uplift in power, then. Perhaps a little at odds with the GT3’s road racer, nat-asp screamer vibe, though it's certainly hard not to be just a little intrigued by the prospect of so much power with 9,000rpm still possible. And compatibility with the manual, which of course isn’t possible in a Turbo (Sport Classic aside). 9ff reckons the F92 GTurbo kit ‘takes the performance of these vehicles to a new level’, and 62-124mph in five seconds supports that claim
