Tuning Turned this 911 into an 848 HP Beast
A German Tuning Company turned this 992-Generation 911 into a 848 horsepower monster with light modifications
Going from 640 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque to 848 horsepower and 701 lb-ft is this fine specimen of a 911. SSR Performance, a German tuning company, took an already fantastic platform and made it better by adding some modifications to the turbos, swapping the factory intake system, changing the exhaust, and of course the cooling and braking systems. For the engine and transmission to handle the extra load, SSR simply told the 911 to make the extra power with a software upgrade.
This wonderful product of brilliant minds paired with a brilliant car is called the SSR Performance GT Porsche 911 Turbo — and if you want to get your hands on one, it better be quickly, as there will only ever be 10 cars made. SSR hasn’t released any sort of exact spec details, but the speed limit is electronically limited to 210 miles an hour — begging the question, does that mean it could go even faster?
SSR Performance did say that it took the company two whole years to develop this car to be what it is. Their overall goal was to create something that could be both an excellent street-legal machine, and then spend weekend days at the track. Much of their 911’s success is due to the special attention paid to downforce. While the standard 911 had plenty for street use, it wasn’t enough for the track — so SSR implemented a hood similar to the current GT3, canards at the corners of it, the wing on the rear end.
“With regard to the aerodynamics, we set ourselves the task of increasing the downforce while at the same time reducing the air resistance. We achieved this thanks to the completely closed carbon-fiber underbody with height-adjustable diffuser,” said project manager for development Timo Vogt.
SSR Performance also made sure to note that all 10 customers will be able to fully customize the exterior and interior colors, in case the example colors are too wild for them. Though, to us, the pink and blue gradient paint job definitely screams “Sleeper Porsche.”
