We don't know what more to expect from the newest attempt from 9ff to build a Veyron-killer, but we do know it's got a real shot at the title of world's fastest production car. We're anxious to see what the future holds for this super-duper-charged Porsche 911. Click here for a high-resolution copy of the above shot. [GT Spirit] More »

The key components — the engines — have already been figured out. More »
