Re: 9ff TR 1000
Would almost keep up with my Boxster 
Seriously, that is just mental acceleration!

Re: 9ff TR 1000
I have driven in the 750 and 850hp versions from 9ff, the acceleration is much more significant than on the regular sportscars they started with, much more than a regular 997 GT3 or Turbo, indeed mental. The video doesn´t reflect the accelerative and visual impression it makes.
The soundscape has more character as well, especially on cars with removed sound insulation, and it is amazing how these cars stand up to the abuse. In my opinion, the character has changed the personality of the cars they are based on (GT2/GT3), they are less compromised in terms of comfort, sound and power delivery. Of course, this occurs less so on a Turbo and with more docile modifications but those are offered by other tuners as well.

Re: 9ff TR 1000
The driver was close to a heart attack... 
I drive 280 kph in a truck with my kids watching Cartoons in the back. 
0-300 kph time doesn't seem to be impressive, aprox. 22 seconds or so.
This is what some highly tuned Turbos with 700-800 hp achieve too.
Under 20 seconds would have been a word though...

Re: 9ff TR 1000
According to part 2 of this particular video, the 0-300 time was 14,6 seconds in a recent test. Confirmed topspeed reportedly 414 km/h.
I have experienced the 750 and 850 hp versions and do know from their chief mechanic that the models with 1200 hp are still significantly faster. The video, by the way, might be deceiving as that the car reaches the same speed in fourth gear as Turbo or GT3 in fifth.
