the car does about 3 miles per gallon. 👍

and the driver who is the tuner himself says:"i don't fancy driving here, even if i worked a year on the car. its so fast..."
 
The spec of the car is:

Engine: Flat-six,3800cc
Cylinder block: Alminium alloy
Cylinder head: Alminium alloy, dohc per bank, four valves per cylinder, twin KKK turbos with water-cooled intercoolers.
Max power: 833bhp @ 7300rpm
Max torque: 678lb ft @ 5700rpm
Transmission: Six-speed manual, rew, lsd.
Brakes: 380mm vented discs front and rear 8-pot calliper, 4-pot rear.
Wheels: 8x18in front, 10x18in rear, magnesium alloy.
Weight: 1300kg
Power-to-weight: 650bhp per ton.
0-60mph: 3.3 sec
Max speed: 241mph
Price: 398,000 euros.

This is one fast car! It has beaten the McLarens max speed by 1mph but the McLaren is the fastest "production" car. 9ff is a tuning company. I also heard that the car was too fast for the Nardo so they might have to test a faster car somewhere else in the furtue.

Going to watch video now.

Ya the guy driving the car, who is the owner of 9ff said that Nardo was too slow, they need to find a faster place. I think part of that statement is boosting. Another part is being funny. Lastly 9ff is a small tuner who can't afford to rent a high need test circuit like nardo often. I'm thinking salt flats or a old long runway, cheap...haha.

As a 911 fan it makes me happy to see the 911 take the speed record over the mclaren...but neither are really practical daily drivers, hahaha.
 
Wow.... That is slightly fast.. And it sounds AWESOME !....

And I'm sure 9FF will be able to rent Nardo a little more often after doing this !... And YES !.. Good to see a Porsche re-take the belt !...
 
Yeah, neither are really practicle. The 9ff probably has so much turbo lag that an old person driving a 30 year old banger out accelerates you and the McLaren will be stolen as soon as you walk out of the door. :)

I didn't like the video too much but it was good to see it in action.
 
What the Mclaren has accomplished is incredible, I don't know the exact numbers, but It didn't have as much power as the Porsche, and it was heavier I believe and it STILL managed to be just 1 sec slower...Wow!

Granted, but the 9ff package doesn't cost a million... ;)

At 398K Euros, you're still not exactly going to find one in your cereal box though ;)
 
Let's also admit that for a intensive purposes the McLaren F1 was a race car tuned down for road legal (stretching there too) use.

The 911 is a daily driver that 9ff tuned up to beat what was basically a detuned race car.

Honestly the 9ff record, regardless of my feelings about porsche, is more impressive.

Both fine car though...

The F1 was designed & built as a road car.

There are versions of the 911 that you wouldn't want to drive every day. The GT2 for example.
 
The Mclaren was design to be a perfectly reasonable car for every day use (not that anyone with a head on their shoulders would do that). This on the other hand is iffy. How reliable is it? Will stuff fall off of it if you are not running it on all but the best road surfaces? Plus I'm not a big fan of that rear wing it had (I know aerodynamics aerodynamics). Not considering cost I would rather have a mac.
 
they poured water in the water tank, because they accidently drilled a hole in the water tank when they were modifying the front wing. ;)

i don't think they will ever sell the car with such a rear wing, they just needed a quick solution because the driver said that without it over 360 kph the car started to drift slightly all the time.


the porsche's record is indeed impressive, but the mclaren is still more useful. the porsche is very quick on a streight or huge oval, but as the tuner himself said, it is not suited for track driving. also i am sure that the car is not finished yet.
 
the car does about 3 miles per gallon. 👍

3 miles per gallon? That's about 1 mile per litre! Put in baby seal leather seats and it's the ultimate politically incorrect car

Let's not debate tiny details here. Compared to the 911 the F1 IS a tuned down race car.

How long has the 911 been around? How many versions of it have there been? Sure there are some 911s I wouldn't want to use as a daily driver. The 9ff one is a good example. The GT2...well depends on if it was a sunny dry day with no traffic......

Not to mention that the 911 as a platform as been used as a daily driver, a GT class race car, a rally car and all sorts of other odds and ends uses (I once saw a picture of a 911 delivery van form the 60s I think)...

My point was that the McLaren F1, while developed as a road car had more in common with a race car. The 911 runs the full spectrum. From placid and refined to scary and mean and most steps in between.

I personally find it much more interesting to see what 9ff is doing with what is at it's core a daily driver...and if you really want to go back...what is basically a VW beetle (though the connection is no longer there technically I know)...

You could make that compariosn with 98% of cars, not just the 911, but the F1 was designed as a road car.

But not in the same 911. You are comparing one car to a whole range of 911s.

I do think it is a great achievement on 9ff's part but with 800-odd bhp, it should beat the F1 with "only" 627....

Yes I am comparing the entire range of 911s. That is my point. The 911 as a platform has proven it's versatility over the past 40 years. That is why I find what 9ff did much more interesting than the McLaren F1.

Just an opinion.

I have nothing against McLaren as a company, in fact I cheer for them in F1, I have a few hundred $ on them to win the constructors and/or Kimi or JPM to win the drivers this season.....not to mention fantasy F1.

this made me think... the F1 was a car developed on a "money is no object" basis. it is a beautiful car, has an amazing engine, and to be honest everything is amazing about it. BUT it is no surprise that it's the best. it's like a kid with rich parents, they always have it all and its no surprise they will end up with a great job later etc.

however the 911 didn't have the luxury of plating the inside of the engine bay with 24ct gold... it had to compromise, whilst still giving excellent performance. there's always something exciting about a car that starts off as a (relatively) normal car, and can be adapted to battle with the best of the best. it doesn't matter that they dont compete on other levels (eg 0-60 times), as long as u know something about it is better than the best :p

it's like knowing that if u exercise in a gym long enough, u could beat God at weightlifting! or something haha sure he could still smack you down at triathlon, but that wouldn't matter to you, for that one moment ;)

think of when someone mods a supra to hit 300+kmh. when you compare top speeds, for that one instant, nothing else matters. cars like that give the rest of us hope. it's like a link to the top. even though it would cost $$$$ you still FEEL like it's a bargain, u just buy a cheap crappy car, and mod it up to beat an F40. even if that's not really true.

lets not forget though, the mac F1 has a very similar wheelbase/track to the 911, cause the designer thought the 911 was the perfect size for a supercar ;)
 
Did Adrian Newey design the McLaren F1?

I must admit I know little about it's design and what lead up to it's development? All I know about it is what I've read and the few videos I've seen...also it's spot(s) on Fifth Gear and Top Gear.
 
Gordon Murray designed it. Peter Stevens drew the exterior shape. Ron Dennis and Mansour Ojjeh supplied the money.

Try and get a hold of the book Driving Ambition by Doug Nye. It's the inside story of the F1.
 


I paid £60 for mine :grumpy: although it was still well worth it and as one of the reviewers said, it's not possible to be disappointed.
