The German tuners 9ff, specialized in modifying Porsche models, developed the TR-1000 model,tested on the Papenburg circuit.The model reached a top speed of 391.7km/h during the tests with the help of 1000Hp and 1040Nm of torque.Unfortunately they didn`t release too many details about the modifications but it is clear that everything was modified.

Porsche 9ff TR-1000 has bigger turbos than the standard ones, an improved intercooler, titanium connecting rods, a modified crankshaft, an all new evacuation system, a sport air filter and like usual an re-programmed ECU.

With all the power it has, the model is able to reach 100km/h in only 3.2s while a run from 100km/h to 200km/h is done in only 4.8s.A sprint from 200 to 300km/his done in only 8s and than reaching 360 take about 17s.9ff said that the model would beat the 400km/h marker if they would use streamlined improvements.The body kit includes a front splitter, new modified side skirts, a diffuser in the back, a new aileron, a better braking system and an aluminum sport suspension.
