The speed run was 227 mph, but it didn’t have enough room to stop.
This car is the product of German tuning company 9FF. As you can see from the name, the tuner has a love for the 911. The 911 Turbo S Rocket was the appropriate name for this particular car, but if you’re honest, it accelerates like a rocket.
Much more This monster is slower, at least for the first 200 miles. This is because of this Porsche It boasts almost 1,750 horsepower (1.305 kilowatts), which makes it difficult to launch.
However, once moving, the car can go from 62 to 122 mph (100-200 km/h), in just 3.1 seconds. Then, it can accelerate to 186 mph (390 km/h), in 4 seconds dead. It’s pretty awesome.
Take it seriously fast. It was, at least. At the Vmax200 speed race, where the above accident occurred, the mega-911 was utilizing that power. Although the car reached a maximum speed of 227 mph, there was no mechanical failure that caused the accident. The Video from Car Acceleration TV shows that the braking area was not long enough to allow a car to reach such high speeds. According to reports, the shutdown area measured 530 meters (1 739 feet). The car was slowed by hay bales placed at the end the runway, which prevented it from crashing into the grass. This could have resulted in a dangerous, high-speed roll that would have caused the car to lose control. However, it is quite dangerous to smack hay at almost 90 mph (145 km/h).
Although the video description implies that the car is in total disrepair, the stills at the end of this clip suggest it could be restored to service. However, its days as a 1,800-hp land rocket are over.
