History
Early years
Jan Fatthauer founded 9ff Fahrzeugtechnik GmbH in 2001 in Dortmund, Germany, as a Porsche tuning company. Fatthauer earned a degree in automotive engineering, and had worked at recognized tuners until 2001. Шаблон:Citation needed
In May 2004, 9ff achieved its first record, reaching Шаблон:Cvt with a 9ff T6 on the Nardo Ring race track in Nardo, Italy. The company claimed that they had the "fastest Porsche in Nardo". In December of that year, Fatthauer drove a new car, the 9ff V400, up to Шаблон:Cvt. This car held the record for the world's fastest car until the company beat that record with the GT9 later that year. At the time, 9ff was building a wide variety of products, including some powered by alternative fuel, setting several records.Шаблон:Citation needed
In September 2006, the 9ff TRC-85 reached Шаблон:Cvt, becoming the fastest street-legal convertible of its time.
In October 2008, the 9ff CT78, based on the Porsche Cayman, won the top-speed record for cars powered by alternative fuel, with its top speed of Шаблон:Cvt, powered by bioethanol.
On April 10, 2008, the 9ff GT9 reached Шаблон:Cvt (confirmed with GPS), becoming the fastest street-legal car in the world.[7][8]
In 2009, 9ff unveiled the Speed9, the second car entirely built by 9ff. The Speed9 is a classic roadster that has a lower windshield and cleaner horizontal lines than the 1955 Porsche 356/1 500S Speedster and the 911 and 964 Speedster (1989 and 1993 respectively) that it is based on.[9][10] The same year, the 9ff TR1000 became the fastest Porsche 911 in the world on the racing circuit in Papenburg, with a top speed of Шаблон:Cvt.[11]
In early 2010, 9ff introduced the twin-turbocharged version of the Porsche GT3 and the Porsche GT3RS, through its new tuning program, the GTurbo. Two turbochargers were added to upgrade the vehicle's horsepower to 750, 850 or 1,000 hp.Шаблон:Citation needed 9ff added new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, new quarter panels, and extra vents. With the 1,000 hp option, the car could reach Шаблон:Cvt in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of Шаблон:Cvt.[12] The company also upgraded the direct-injection Porsche Turbo.
Bankruptcy
In 2013 9ff filed for bankruptcy, along with Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola. This has been attributed to a decline in business as Porsche drew in more customers seeking unmodified cars. A new company, 9ff Engineering GmbH, was founded in October of the same year.
