Ferrari Dino Concept

The age of concept cars now brings us the Ferrari Dino Concept , although this car might look like Ford's GT 40 from the side but it does have some distinguishing features of a Ferrari. That is what makes it stand apart from the others.

The goal was to create a car that feels stylish, modern, dynamic and organic while staying true to the original design language of the Ferrari Dino and Ferrari brand in general. It has managed to keep up to the expectations but a little alteration is recommended before the orignal car is made, because Ferrari stands for orignality which frankly this car doesnt fulfill.

But lets not be all cramped up about it, if you let the car get to you, you do see that the car's feature's stand out and the body is very stylishly and boldly designed. Its a good step that Ferrari are looking to take further steps ..

Lets see how you guys and other communities respond to it :)

2007 9ff Porsche Turbo TRC 91

Just when the standard twin turbo charged Porsche 911 wasnt enough, 9ff took it for a spin and decided that they could do a little more to help the 911 push out a little more kick. When they were done with it, they ended up increasing the horse power from 450 to 910 for this carbriolet version. And if that doesnt amaze you much, the car produces 910 Nm of torque!



Engine:

Reserved for the cabrio version is a more powerful version of the same engine which they have put in the non cabrio car, which develops 910hp and 910Nm of torque. To achieve this level of performance, engineers took the standard 3.6L biturbo motor from the regular 911 Turbo and added their own custom turbochargers, a sports air-filter, larger injectors, modified cylinder heads and a stainless steel exhaust system with special manifolds as well as high-performance catalysts, and finally, an extensive increase in engine displacement to the tune of 4.0L. To make sure everything is in check, all the modifications are controlled by means of a reprogrammed ECU.

Performane:
With this level of output, it takes just 3.1 seconds to reach 100km/h from rest all the way to a top speed of 392km/h thanks to the dual-clutch gearbox specifically designed for it.Externally, the cars get a modified racing front grill for improved airflow, a boot lid made of carbon, a custom aero package, 20in wheels and a more powerful braking system. The carbon boot lid and other weight cuts puts the whole car weight at 1300 kg! Optimum performance is brought to perfection through revised aerodynamics en-hancing the powerful Porsche‘s driving stability while creating an atmosphere of even more dynamic elegance.



Styling:
New and shapely front spoilers, side skirts and redesigned rear wings add to the aerodynamic kit while the elegant and aerodynamically enhanced exterior mirrors are the crowning glory of the whole.


And just when you think how much this beauty costs, 9ff havnt yet made the price tag official. And yes this is the World's Fastest Cabrio!

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (skal-yeti) is a Gran Turismo car produced by Ferrari since 2004. It is a large two door fastback coupe with a 2+2 seating arrangement. The 612 Scaglietti was designed to replace the smaller Ferrari 456M. Its larger size makes it a true 4 seater with adequate space in the rear seats for adults.



Styling:

The styling of the 612 Scaglietti has proven to be controversial at best. Despite its classic roots, it is considered by some to be rather clumsy — a criticism that is most often directed towards the small rounded headlights. Some also find the length of the hood (which is amazingly long) to be disproportionate to the rest of the body. Others find it merely unassuming: Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson mentioned that car isn't really noticeable compared to other Ferraris.





Performance and Engine:

The 612 is Ferrari's second go at making an all aluminium car , the first being the 360 Modena. Its space frame is made from extrusions and castings of the material, and the aluminium body is welded on. This makes th e car lighter and unbelievably fast. The car is capable of 199 mph (315 km/h) and has a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds. It comes with two six speed transmission options: a conventional manual or the F1A paddle shift system, a much refined version of the F1 system in Ferrari 360 Modena.

The 612 Scaglietti shares its naturally aspirated 5.7 L (5748 cc) V12 engine with the 575M Maranello. The Tipo F133E engine produces 533 hp and 397 kW at 7250 rpm and 588 N.m of torque at 5250 rpm with a compression ratio of 11.2:1.
