Sporting a staggering 1400 "horsepower," the 9ff GT9 Vmax catapults itself into a league of its own, boasting a remarkable top speed of 437 kph. These impressive claims are substantiated by none other than Gerald Czajka, the discerning editor of Germany's esteemed Auto Bild magazine, who bravely tamed this four-wheeled beast. The heart of this automotive marvel lies in a 6-cylinder boxer engine, an evolutionary offspring of the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, which, coupled with the prowess of twin turbos, bestows upon the athlete a staggering 1160 Nm of torque and a breathtaking 1400 horsepower. |

The manufacturer's catalog confidently attests to this power, propelling the GT9 Vmax to a velocity of 437 kph. If this data holds true, the 9ff GT9 Vmax reigns as the fastest road car ever to grace the open market, dethroning its predecessor, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which achieved a "mere" 415 kph.

Under ideal weather conditions, the GT9 Vmax effortlessly sprints from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in a mere 3.1 seconds, an adrenaline-pumping feat that continues as it conquers the 200 kph mark in a breathtaking 6.8 seconds. Further testaments to its unparalleled acceleration emerge as it breaches the 300 kph barrier in a scant 13 seconds.
Now, let's talk about the price – a fleeting consideration for those who inhabit a realm where speed and opulence intertwine. An enigmatic Arab sheik, shrouded in anonymity, embarked on a quest to possess this automotive gem, parting with a princely sum of €540,000, equivalent to approximately $670,308 USD at the time, in the year 2013.
In this epoch of automotive innovation, where the race to break speed barriers and redefine limits continues unabated, the 9ff GT9 Vmax emerges as a titan, a living testament to human ingenuity and engineering excellence. A symphony of power and velocity, it propels us into a realm where the very concept of speed is redefined, leaving in its wake an indelible mark on the annals of automotive history. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUTOBILD.DE]
