Dont think this has been posted before.

Was just searching the net at fast cars and came across the Porsche 9ff GT9 that has been dubbed the Bugatti Veyron killer. It is a shade faster then it and a lot cheaper at £350,000 and in my eyes a lot better looking. It says in the article I came across for the money of a Veyron you could buy two 9FF GT9's and have enough left over for a rolls-royce phantom.

If I was able to own one of these I would love to go up to someone who has a Veyron and say mine is faster and costs no where near as much, I would think they would be heart broken with how much cash they had spent on the Veyron when they could of bought a 9FF GT9, but when they probably bought a Veyron they didn't even know about this car as I didn't not until now.

Whats your views on the car?

Eww... looks ugly. Even the rear wheels look 2-d. If I had £350k to spend on cars, I'd either get a MB SL AMG Black edition, or every JDM peformance car. But I can't drive.

I cant drive either, this car may be ugly but it cant be no where near as ugly as the Veyron, if I had £350,000 I would try and find a SLR for that money.

1.it's old news, too bad you didn't knew about it, it's been tested by autocar and there're videos on youtube.

2.people who can afford a Veyron are mostly mature successful people who won't give a f*ck what you think about their car.

it was on the latest top gear, when they fight against the german d-motor show

If I ever came a successful business man I dont think I would buy a Veyron, I would most likely buy the 9ff GT9 as it looks a lot better and is a fraction of the money of a Veyron and is also quicker, I don't know if I would still buy a Veyron though, would be nice to say I've owned one, would never want to drive it around Plymouth though, it would get key'd or some mupits would try to get into it when parked in town.

I do think I remember seeing a porsche 9ff on the net a long time ago, not sure but never mind would be nice for people to read about who didn't know about the car before.

Err... no people buy several tons of exotic supercar as a status symbol to drive to the Ritz in, they definitely care that everybody sees there car, and matching perfume in a carbon fibre case, just as much as they care that you see their modest 100m yacht.

This car is different, it is the kind of car those obsessed about going fast rather than posing would buy and should be pretty light, track capable and engaging to drive. You're more likely to see it turn up at a track day than Monaco.

LoL! Its got wasted in a 1/4 mile by an atom, didn't look too fast either.

Couldn't watch to the end, the music was so anoying and the car looked ugly and slow, yes slow. I dunno why.
lol wtf is wrong with the first pic rear rim.. lmao

The thing with Veyron is that it's not only fast, it's also a hugely comfortable luxury cruiser and it's very easy to drive (fast or slow).
The 9ff on the other hand is basically a race car for the road. Sure it is fast, but it would probably kill your back if you drove it more than 100 meters in one session and you would just look silly when you would climb over the roll bars covered in sweat when you arrived at the most prestigious hotel in paris.

The front is nice, but its rear part is ugly as hell.

The only reason the Veyron is easy to drive is that it has a computer to keep it under control where as in the 9ff you have to do the driving and keep it under control.

that said the trackday crowd with their radicals and adenoids would probably laugh at you just as much as those at the monaco casino will if you turn up in this

and you can keep a 1000hp under you right foot in perfect control without any help then?

and both are pointless, in the real world a much much much cheaper caterham 500R is much faster.

It is also 4WD, overweight and automatic. It will be completely useless at any kind of performance task other than going fast in a straight line and would be embarrassed by pretty everyday machinery on a race track, hence why none have ever been track tested.

Feel free to turn up in a car that's faster and "brag" but the Veyron is a GT car (and this is not).

I know 1000bhp is hard to handle but at least in the 9FF you doing the driving and not the car.

nonono this is a gt car:

You're 15 so presumably you've never driven a car before? You've obviously been watching Top Gear because you're spouting stuff that comes from Clarkson directly. The people who buy the Veyron are not the people whou would buy this 9ff, they're just for totally different people.

That is just me talking, not took anything that Clarkson has said, and I have drove a car on private property. I have read reviews and comparisons between the Veyron and 9FF and thats where I am getting my views from. Obviously the people who buy the Veyron are totally different people, in my eyes they are people who say look I have loads of money, that much I spent nearly 1million on a car. I would rather have the 9ff, overall it's faster and looks a lot better then the ugly veyron.

Clarkson/motoring press/whatever. I'm just saying that when you use those cliches it's funny because a lot of people reading it know you haven't got experience of driving cars on the limit. If you were dropped into the seat of a Veyron now and had to push it to the point of actually needing something to sort things out for you you'd be in more trouble than any computer could save you from. Saying things like "this car needs you to drive it, not a computer" has no real meaning unless you know what it's like to drive a car on the limit with and without computer intervention. I've driven a few cars on the limit over the last 6 or so years, in all conditions. Most of them have been dogs (Pug 406, Ford Escort, Pug 106) but my current car does have computers to help those of us without monstrous talent. I can tell you something. Going through a bend at 60mph in the wet and getting enough wheelspin for the traction control to kick in is a time when you're happy to have traction control!

Yes far enough, I dont know what its like to drive a car on the limits. Reviews I have read say that where as the Veyron gets controlled by the computer etc... if you get into trouble, it says that in the 9ff there is really no computer to fall back on. The 9ff is faster, Better top speed (okay only about 1mph more) acceleration over 100mph is better etc... The 9ff nearly has 1000bhp and the computer doesnt control everything, so why does the veyron?

The air intake is made out of 24k gold to allow maximum air flow and keep the air cold. I wonder how much one would cost to replace?

I would like to have one if I had the money, but they are only making 20 within the next 4 years.

The Veyron weighs roughly double what the 9ff weighs and the intended customers for the Veyron are people who have a hell of a lot more money than driving talent. Neither car really NEEDS the computer aids, but the people who buy Veyrons would soon be in a lot of trouble if they didn't have any. As for the difference in top speed and acceleration above 100mph...unless you actually had a stopwatch with you at the time you obviously wouldn't notice them.
