The annual aftermarket show in Germany always brings out an enticing crop of European tuner cars, and 9ff isn&#8217;t about to let it go by without making its mark. <\/p>\n<p>The Porsche tuner is hitting Essen with the Speed9, a slick speedster inspired by the legendary 356 (circa 1955) and based on the latest 997 Turbo cabrio. Naturally, 9ff started in the rear, boosting the 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat six from 473hp stock up to a whopping 650, all by tweaking the ECU and swapping out the air filter, exhaust and catalytic converter. The tuners have also fitted adjustable stabilizers front and rear with double springs at each corner, coupled with upgraded brakes. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no word yet on what effect the mods will have on performance, but you can&#8217;t miss the body kit 9ff has developed. They&#8217;ve done away with the rear seats to give the cabrio a speedster-like profile, while fitting a new front air dam, side skirts and rear apron. No word on price either, but you can expect it to be commensurately expensive, with much of the range customizable to order.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\">9ff Speed9 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/8369759_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/1068668_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/2722393_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/1294066_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/9ff-speed9-porsche-911-turbo-cabrio\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/11\/4081746_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/9ff.de\/en\/news\/index.php\">9ff<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcarfans.com\/109112023173\/9ff-speed9-based-on-porsche-997-turbo-revealed\">WCF<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/22\/9ff-speeding-into-essen-with-speedster-inspired-speed9\/\">9ff speeds into Essen with Speedster-inspired Speed9<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:38:00 EST.
