This 1200hp Porsche 9ff Turbo puts supercars to shame

1200bhp 9ff Porsche 911 Turbo (997 mk1):
- Rips hard
- breaks down
- returns
- rips again
Event: Vredestein Supercar Sunday 2018 (Assen, The Netherlands)

[@LarsMarsCars]

Here's some footage of the car doing a 1km trap speed run: facebook.com/SCC500/videos/2114545791902326/ The car has in fact 1250bhp at the highest boost setting.

[@CalLMeE21]

All these people commenting on how he a bad driver and no skills but u guys never drove a 1200hp car nor have you owned one.

[@VenoXj1]

So we have to have the same skills or a powerful car to state that hes a bad driver? Right, shut the fuck up.

[@CalLMeE21]

@@VenoXj1 So your replying to a comment i made 2 years ago yeah you shut the fuck up your late as hell.

[@VenoXj1]

@Cycling Performance Did you even read what I said? You just proved once again, how stupid you guys are who make such claims and no, you aren't even close with what you mentioned.

[@VenoXj1]

@@CalLMeE21 I couldn't care less actually. Your actual comment is as stupid as it can be.

[@CalLMeE21]

@@VenoXj1 Its not stupid if you were to jump in a 1200hp car and you have no experience on the track or racing you would crash guaranteed. Take into consideration cars with thag much power don't respond the same they not that easy to control silly.

[@the.7]

That turbo sound is eargasmic 😍

[@bas1560]

this was one of the best tuned cars i have ever seen, nice looks, nice turbo boost sounds, nice every thing, nice vid! keep up this work! de groeteeuh!

[@DutchMotorsport]

What a beast! This thing sounds so incredibly loud in real life! I still don't understand why he took that break for 2 hours lol. Maybe it gets too hot after some time?

[@LarsMarsCars]

DutchMotorsport Yes, a couple laps full beastmode, then it's time to cool down for a while :p

[@ruststar]

He had to go take a poopoo

[@porschecollector727]

His morning edibles finally kicked in

[@nibwit4650]

i mean 1200hp on track is really hard to keep cool after beating on it for long periods of time.

[@KilaByte33]

Took a "break" in the middle of the track without even signalling....

[@gtr5758]

just imagine how quick this would be with someone who can actually drive!

[@russellcoight1718]

I don't think supercars and shame belong in the same sentence.. I don't think anyone is put to shame by being beat by a 1200hp tuner car I mean that's expected.

[@LarsMarsCars]

Russell Coight don't take it too literally. It's just that this Porsche passes them like it's nothing.

[@russellcoight1718]

Notmy Name no supercar owner laughs when they beat another car? That's a bit of an assumption I think. I mean everyone knows supercar prices and performance, so shouldn't be a surprise if supercars win or lose..

[@noeleenbatchelor3736]

Russell Coight I think u miss understood what I meant. Picture Somebody pulling up at red light in a Mazda mx5 next to a Lamborghini, I guarantee the lambo owner is laughing his ass off thinking Mazda don’t stand a chance, then the Mazda beats them. Lambo owner isn’t laughing anymore. That’s shameful in my opinion.

[@russellcoight1718]

Notmy Name I think you're thinking of something that happens in movies. Highly doubt that would happen IRL I mean if somebody is asking to race they obviously have a decently fast car

[@Lollikips]

It was super fast, until it broke down

[@LarsMarsCars]

It had some electrical issues. I believe it had something to do with the battery / alternator. They managed to fix it in time though

[@Lollikips]

We first thought it might've been the gearbox at some point since some of the shifts later started sounding weird and delayed. Good thing it was as simple as that though

[@LarsMarsCars]

Yes, I noticed that, too! But keep in mind it has a manual gearbox. It could be still the stock transmission (I'm not sure), which could cause trouble with that amount of horsepower.

[@hybridAbsol]

Arent Porsche 911 supposed to be indestructable ?

[@dustyowl99]

who told you that? The guy who sold you your 911?

[@x...CrankyOldMan...x]

I love the video.. but no supercars were put to shame in this video...

[@LarsMarsCars]

00:51 well that v10 R8 and SLS AMG were going full throttle. See the difference in power?

[@LarsMarsCars]

lo ball You might need some glasses then

[@LarsMarsCars]

Well first of all I don't think my attitude has anything to do with the quality of my videos. Secondly, I don't think my channel 'sucks'; that's just your opinion. Well, I definitely do not offer the best car videos ever. There are a lot of youtubers that are better than me. I aknowledge that. But to say my channel 'sucks', nah I disagree. I'm quite happy with the videos I managed to make and the subscribers and viewers I have gained over the past couple of years. However, you're right about my attitude towards people in the comment section sometimes. Too often I take stuff personally, while I shouldn't. However, it's kinda frustrating when, for example, many people are accusing me of lying / making up 'bullshit' power figures (referring to the 1200hp), whereas I always make sure to get all the legit info before posting it. Furthermore, about my 'pathetic ass' clickbaiting; Even though it will probably get me a lot more views, I surely don't want to be that clickbaiting kinda guy. I truely hate it when I see KZbinrs doing that all the time. And believe it or not, with this particular video it was not in any way my intention to clickbait the viewers. I had no idea this video was suddenly going to blow up like this. Seeing this 9ff Porsche in action was very impressive, although it may not look that impressive on camera. In my opinion the expression 'putting supercars to shame' was suitable. Others may disagree, that's alright. If I had made a title such as "2000hp Porsche slaughters every supercar out there!!!" , then it would've been 100% clickbait, yes. But come on, the current caption is not that bad. By the way, feel free to check out some of my other videos (if you haven't already (?) ) before judging me as a KZbinr based on just one vid. If you'd look at my other videos, I think you would agree there's barely any clickbaiting going on. Let me know. Have a good one!

[@ultimatesportstv1555]

@loo bizzle bro you are so lame.

[@rubensalomon24]

1200 HP!!??? Noooo way!

[@LarsMarsCars]

Ruben Salomon yea 9ff builds crazy engine setups

[@LarsMarsCars]

There are even more powerful ones : www.thedrive.com/flat-six-society/11907/this-9ff-tuned-porsche-997-turbo-racer-has-1400-horsepower

[@LarsMarsCars]

mondayfool , I believe it has a 'boost by gear' system so that it will only have full boost (all the power) from 3rd or 4th gear and up (for example). Would be kinda useless to have 1200hp in 1st and 2nd

[@paulcarsgermany1447]

these were stage 1 with 700 hp !

[@paulcarsgermany1447]

Full boost is 1700 hp!

[@zaranski2009]

The guy saw several tuned BMWs and wondered what a tuned Porsche would look like

[@FREE_WILL_DEFENDER]

That porsche is whipping those corners hard, love it

[@steventilley325]

Sounds good looks good but the blue R8 was all over him and his driving was shit and he never embarrassed any super cars

[@RoderickVoordouw]

In real life it sounds terrible compared to the other cars, the Audi V10 was a joy to hear. And it broke down later that day.

[@WannabeTuners]

This things in another league!

[@mrmidnight32]

That things literally all power no driver 😂😂 dudes all over the course. Also define “shame” he barely passed 2 stock cars on the straight the whole video🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gergelybunczom8508]

CK_32 “barely passes” dude he passed that r8 and sls like they were toyotas.

[@mrmidnight32]

gergely bunczom they went inside and let him pass. Notice the r8 is on his brakes half way through the straight. It’s called track etiquette. Later in the video he literally barely passes them and they are right there into the corner. I’m not debating the fact he passes them. But “puts the shame” is a hell of a stretch. Half the video he’s WOT and stays right behind people.

[@jaye696]

+CK_32 right there into the corner what ten car lengths back lopk closer hes around the corner annd those cars havnt even enterd oh but thats right there lol

Fine drive volvo then :)

[@LaidBackDeveloper]

They are reliable cars.

[@Hany_20vt]

All I noticed is alot of mis-shifts..

[@996turbo]

Fuel cut

[@SuperGagging69]

That are fuel cuts because of traction control.

[@chuckclark6162]

Might want to incorporate some hand signals into that track day protocol/drivers meeting before something really expensive happens.

[@sammyjjoo]

Other cars are completely DESTROYED! 😳

[@Noh1996]

Great video! I have a question, do you live in netherlands? If so, are there any classic cars racing event before such as group. 5 racing? Just curious.

[@LarsMarsCars]

Yes I am! You might wanna check out the Zandvoort Historic Grand Prix. There will be all kinds of historic race cars including F1, LMP and Group C etc.

[@LarsMarsCars]

historicgrandprix.nl

[@auz17]

So powerful that it was sliding few places and loosing traction. Its meant for long straights and not circuits like these.

[@chitpaul]

911 Turbo just sticks to the tarmac and you can have great confidence in it going where you want. Silverstone rest track Experience day are a place to test it for yourself.

[@greeksupertoys483]

Even the stock 997 turbo would beat an r8 v10 or an sls

[@sTaRkZ091]

What's that V12 from at the start during your intro? Aventador?

[@LarsMarsCars]

David Starkey Good ears, bruv! It is an Aventador. Here's the original video (watch at time stamp 01:30 for the sound) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIqzkGWwlrRlqpo

[@sandrosobreira8129]

It has a lot of power to make chicane hahahah

[@JPTHRICE]

Elrod Jenkins it's a lot of power

[@SuperIceman44]

Lol why don't you go up there and show us then? Internet warrior

[@SuperIceman44]

Kory Metzger And you judged all this from one chicane where there was traffic most of the times? Lmao you haters 😂😂

[@LarsMarsCars]

Keep in mind: this was not an actual race, but just a track day A lot of different cars were doing hotlaps for fun / testing.

[@gooney2846]

Dilip M racing lines aren't hard to visualize, if you know how to race then you can see where he wasn't following a good line and also the consequence(losing traction) while he exits the turn. Lastly, wasn't he the first one in the traffic coming up to the turn a few times?

[@seinundzeiten]

Wings added on to the 9ff, it would surely fly,

[@Modelo118]

Imagine it in the hands of someone who can actually drive

[@akazi1582]

Modelo he’s got 1200 hp in his hands it’s hard to drive buddy

[@Teniente.Tugate]

1200hp but that R8 bruh always there ;)

[@funniestfunkinstreetfights9773]

That audi stuck with him briefly on the straight away though

[@azschalter]

There is no “putting to shame“ if you have twice as much power available. If you wanna put someone to shame, be way faster in the same kind of car.

[@marineyacht]

Clutch trouble ❓ like is over heating 🤔

[@LarsMarsCars]

Who can spot the flames? 👀

[@compulsoryspeech1411]

Why only 1200 hp? Why not 1300 hp?

[@LarsMarsCars]

because 1200 is more than enough for track use

[@r.i.p2464]

1:28

[@statisticsspeakforitself4205]

Lars Mars Cars on track and on daily driving torque is much more important then horsepower.

[@LarsMarsCars]

Windie Eng reviews on track? No. Unless you have to haul a trailer during the whole race. Horsepower is more important for race cars. That's why for example most F1 cars and LMP cars have relatively low torque numbers compared to the amount of hp.

[@123anndi]

To be honest only Porsche can handle this power.

[@michaellanga4136]

Did he cook that engine

[@mattgaming8717]

Stig?

[@jaisako]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Hc.Cryptocedric]

Wowwww the porsche its Crazy 😍💣💪 pfff i like this modified car

[@thescurry]

Fast on the straightaways and slow in/out of the turns.

[@Enduro_NY]

i would really like to see a person that can actually drive get in that car and take it around the track

[@Northwindbreeze]

A 1200 bhp will put many super cars to shame too.

[@ultra-potato]

Transmission be like: ah sht here we go again

[@shafoz]

1:32 why is he blocking the audi?

[@LarsMarsCars]

FedeRSX The Porsche was taking it easy to let the engine cool down. I think he expected the R8 to overtake him on the left side (that's more common). However, I assume the Audi driver was waiting for the Porsche to send it so he could chase him. A little misunderstanding, I guess.

[@BMH1965]

More money than skill.

[@bagelitsandila4611]

Most owners of these have as much skill as money. And good luck handling 1200 hp ya hater

[@zajdabneeg]

Well when it is 1200hp it is no suprise.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Seemed the R8 5.2 was sticking with it!

[@LarsMarsCars]

Jarno Saarinen 9ff only fast on the straights :p R8 faster in the corners :/

[@Klapstoelmedia]

The owner asked me at supercar sunday if I wanted to make a picture of him and his friend in the car, the car was full of smoke they were smoking in it. Gone is the value

[@KilaByte33]

It's always fun to beat on street trim cars in a race prepped vehicle, wow, much powa.

[@ghostbuster54736]

I keep looking @ 1:02. Is that overcooked? It looks overcooked to me.

[@LarsMarsCars]

There was a lot of kitty litter on the main straight. Prior to recording this video an AMG GTR dumped all its transmission fluid on the track so to absorb the oil they spread cat litter. That's probably the stuff you see in the air as the Porsche goes down the track.

[@KnurdMonkey]

Tons of shifting missed.

[@cashmorris162]

Not a bunch of consistent drivers...

[@MrFoulksy]

Yet again a good video with idiots in the comments!! This is clearly a drag car that's most likely running a drag suspension set-up and possibly mismatched tyres. The owner took it to a track to have fun and I bet he had a blast. But the You Tube car experts always know better.... Just enjoy the video.

[@team3383]

MrFoulksy = Your average KZbin Pyschologist ... LOL. Many people go to have fun on a track. They don't need to drive as fast as their cars could go and overtake others thinking - Yeah, my dick gets bigger every time I overtake another car. They are there for their own pleasure and that of their friends and family. They don't have the crushing NEED to overtake other cars to satisfy their ego.

[@MrFoulksy]

Using common sense makes me a Psychologist? I agree, the guy must of had great fun.

[@team3383]

You are suggesting that all others comments are pseudo experts and always know better. That would suggest a pre-concieved frame of mind such as the ones pyschologists have. If a blast is overtaking whn others are not necessarily pushing it - because thisisn't a race - and then boasting that his car is faster then I agree entirely with you......

[@MrFoulksy]

I'm from the UK... Of course I used the words 'most likely' and 'possibly'.... Where did I say that I knew everything about the car??? I'm confused by your reply Herr because you make me sound like I said "Bro it's a drag car that shouldn't be allowed on a track". The guy can enjoy his car however he wants You seem like the kind of person that hates on every ones build because it's not to your taste. Why do you care if he made his porsche a drag car? It's not your car...

[@MrFoulksy]

@Team33 Well you're putting words in his mouth there aren't you. Where was he bragging? This wasn't his video. You've never been on track have you. You don't need to overtake everything to have fun, especially in a car that isn't made for this application. Must have been scary.

[@lmklogistics9717]

Well , he is over revving that car, that's why It misfire, that is one of the problem of turbo engines and short tracks, or you need to be a genius in coding and mapping ( programming computer ) to avoid that, that Porsche has a drag tuning, normally you need a different fuel management control to do circuit racing with turbo engines, BUT THAT CAR IS A BEAST, he just outrun that audi like nothing

[@henryhill3908]

Paul cars!

[@andrewally3570]

Not putting to shame if it costs as much stock

[@caymanthebetterporsche4367]

he cannot find the right line I´m afraid......

[@zenki_bnr3457]

Looks like he’s just getting in the way of the R8. Couldn’t stay in front so he drives him against the wall and brake checks him. Probably black flagged for the two hours.

[@LarsMarsCars]

ZENKI_BNR34 The Porsche was doing a cool down lap do that's why he went slow. I think he expected the R8 driver to overtake on the left side (how it should be)

Imagine being able to use all that power efficiently and effectively as you can 300hp on this track. Would be amazing. A 600 hp proper race car would stay next to this thing on this track. The straights are not that long.

Nie im Leben 1200Hp !

[@LarsMarsCars]

Stefan Meier You might wanna check out the 9ff website and the modifications they offer. This car in fact has nearly 1200 bhp at high boost. There were even more powerful 997s built by 9ff (1400hp) : www.thedrive.com/flat-six-society/11907/this-9ff-tuned-porsche-997-turbo-racer-has-1400-horsepower

[@LarsMarsCars]

In this video you can see the car and the owner/driver. Check out what he says about the boost and power output (from time stap 13:46): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZyuq6CPiddonqM

[@uweherrmann6118]

This car never has 1200 hp, in case of 1200 hp it would make black stripes on the track an a 360° circle after the chicane...

[@LarsMarsCars]

There are a couple of reasons why it has such good traction. First of all, it is AWD and it has a traction control system. Also, this car has boost by gear, which means it only pushes full boost (full power) from like 4th gear and up. In the first 3 gears it has reduced boost.

[@j.a.3138]

lmao, when he locks his car
