Driving the Porsche GT2 is often described as dancing with death. The 997 GT2 takes all the mechanicals of the Porsche 911 Turbo, then adds more horsepower and removes the safety of all-wheel-drive, leaving you with a car that will pirouette on cue without cautious use of the right foot.
Apparently, though, the engineers at famed Porsche-tuning firm 9ff thought that the standard GT2 was a bit lacking in the power department, and on further reflection we can see how 395 kW, a 3.7 second sprint to 100 km/h and a top speed of over 320 km/h might get a little boring. To remedy this, 9ff has just revealed its new ‘BT-2′ modification program for the GT2 supercar. Utilising a new exhaust system, some subtle reprogramming of the ECU and some neat aerodynamic mods, the BT-2 from 9ff is just what suicidal Porsche fans have been waiting for.
Boasting 261 kW more than the standard model, the BT-2 takes its 634 kW and 920 N.m of torque and transmits it to the road efficiently enough to hit 100 km/h in just 3 seconds flat. 19 Seconds later, the BT-2 will be doing just shy of 320 km/h. If you have the patience and a road that’s straight enough, the BT-2 will take you on to a top speed of almost 384 km/h, a speed not far off from what the Bugatti Veyron can achieve.
If you’re brave enough, 9ff already offers other vehicles that can outpace the Bugatti Veyron’s top speed of 407 km/h, and the company is currently working on a vehicle that it hopes will eventually outdo the world’s fastest production vehicle, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
