Short Throw Shifter: Bye Bye Bugatti

That's right, Bugatti, this Porsche is pulling away. It has 10 fewer cylinders, 100 more horsepower, twice the looks, and a fraction of the required maintainence costs of the Italian hypercar. The famous Porsche tuner 9ff has taken a 911 and used the stock engine to create a 4.0 liter 6 cylinder monster that produces 1120 horsepower. All those ponies can take this GT9-R to a near warp top speed of 257 mph, and it's on track to take the world production car speed record.

It's already reached a speed of 254 on a test run, putting it 1 mph faster than the Bugatti, and just about 1 mph shy of the speed record set by the SSC Ultimate Aero. God speed, 9ff....God speed.

Thanks for reading.
