We can show you how to turn your ordinary sports car into a supercar – namely with the German tuner 9ff which has a set of conversion kits for the Porsche 997 GT3 and and 997 GT3 RS. First of all a short explanation: This is a bi-turbo conversation kit that can increase power up to 1000 hp. This is the reason for the creation of three seperately named models : the 9ff GTurbo750, GTurbo850 and GTurbo1000. The numbers indicate the horsepower figures. The torque figures, respectively, being 850 Nm, 910 Nm and 940 Nm. It takes 2.9 seconds for the Gturbo1000 to do the 0 to 100 km/h sprint, just 8,2 seconds to reach 200 km/h and 16.5 seconds for the 300 km/h mark. Depending on the gearing selection you could also reach the top speed of 392 km/h. Furthermore an aerodynamic kit is available that includes air intakes on the quarter panel for the intercooler and air outlets at the front to help reduce pressure in the wheel wells at high speeds. There are also new front (with LED indicators) and rear aprons, side skirts and options for side exhausts. For more pics follow the jump.
