2007 Porsche 997 GT3
With the 997 GT3, Porsche created one of the last uncompromising naturally aspirated sports cars from Weissach: a high-revving Mezger boxer engine, a manual transmission, and a suspension tuned for maximum driving dynamics made it an icon right from the factory. This particular example, however, took things a decisive step further. About 15 years after it was delivered, the GT3 was converted by the renowned Dortmund-based tuner 9FF into the legendary GTurbo—a vehicle concept that combines the characteristics of a high-revving GT3 with the brute power delivery of a turbocharger.
For the conversion, the engine was completely disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt with numerous components developed by 9FF. In addition to custom-made manifolds, the car features, among other things, a specially developed dual-plate clutch and extensive reinforcements throughout the entire powertrain. The result is an engine that combines revs of over 8,000 rpm with tremendous turbo performance—a concept that was far ahead of its time and remains extraordinary even today.
