The 997 Turbo Cabriolet was only officially launched by Porsche this month and tuning specialist 9ff already released a high performance tuning pack wich delivers 912hp. 9ff's engineers used the same kit that was used on the Carrera GT and 911 Coupe. Their 650hp strong version of the Turbo managed to reach a maximum speed of 350km/u and it is believed that this more powerful car will pass the amazingly speed of 400km/u.

9ff is also working on it's custom mid-engined GT9 to challenge the Bugatti Veyron's record of worlds fastest production car. The GT9 should be capable reaching 409km/u, wich is 2km/u faster than the Veyron's reocord of 407.5km/u and should be ready for the high speed comp at Nardo later this year.

The Motorsports centre located at Weissach hides the heart of Porsche Motorsports. The super-modern Motorsport complex with alot of aluminium and glass is made up of four buildings wich includes workshops, race vehicle production, logistics centre a office block for administration and development departments as well as car park.

The workshop facilities house seperate areas for the servicing of Cup and customer race cars, for the successful RS Spyder sportscar prototype, the 911 GT3 RSR as well as for development projects. Other work places are directly connected except for the first floor wich is home to the engine and transmission departments.

Around 20,000 different parts are stored in the logistics site. Spare parts, for example, for the road-going 911 GT3 and the GT3 RS vehicles are supplied from Weissach.

Lately Hamann has been very busy, a couple of days ago we reported about the "Black Miracle" obviously not Hamman's best creation up till now. At least this F430 Spider has received a discreet bodykit, the front spoiler, rear spoiler and newly designed rear diffuser are also optionally available in carbon-kevlar or fiberglass versions. 19" or 20" rims, the choice is on you, because you can choose between a variety of 19" or 20" multispoke rims.

Yesterday we posted part 1 of the arrests in Georgia, in part 2 you can see that the Bullrunners are being taken to jail. After paying the fine to get bailed out they were released.

A video about the arrests in Georgia where alot of Bullrunners got in trouble with the cops while speeding. It was the leading pack that was driving at 130mph when the cops saw them flying by. Not much later the cops where all over the place. Those who had a Euro lincense had to pay a $1,150 fine, but the American drivers had their driving privileges taken away for one day.

This video from a few years ago is sooo sick that i couldn't resist posting this one, it shows some impressive driving skills from a guy going "full" speed with an F1 through the mountains. If you saw this one before, it's worth watching it again!

GTspirit has just came out with an article of Ferrari's F430 Challenge, the race version of the roadlegal Challenge Stradale. Below you can find some specs on the car.

Ferrari took everything out the car that could give too much weight, the windows are made of lexan-plastic, the door is made out of carbon fiber and all the leather and airbags are removed. Also, the speedometer is just a simple digital display. Further only the old start, light and ventilation buttons can still be found back.

The Challenge still has the 4.3 V8 engine producing 490bhp but dropped his weight with 225kg. With all this power you do need good breakes, therefore ferrari created their new CCM (Composite-Carbon-Ceramique) system wich will bring you to reduced breaking time of 3%.

"The LP640 is wild enough" Stephan Winkelmann (Lamborghini's president) said. Well it seems he changed is mind- altough no one at Lamborghini officialy confirmed its existence, this will going to be the LP640 Superveloce and not the Murcielago Superleggera as said before.

Back in the seventies the extraordinairy and glorious Muria P400 got this name, later also seen on the Diablo (Superveloce is Italian for High Speed). Just like the Gallardo Superleggera the SV will be more lighter with a weight loss of 100Kg, boosting its power its power-to-weight ratio to 409bhp per tonne. Click "Read more"
