2010 9ff Porsche Panamera

9ff shows its first performance packages simultaneous with the launch of the Panamera. 9ff also offers a bodykit for the brand new sports limousine.


9ff, the specialist for turbo powered engines offers Turbo performance kits for the new Panamera which starts at 550 HP and actually reaches up to 650 HP. Moreover the company offers the first time a bodykit which reflects the additional power to the exterior.


The bodykit contains a new front bumper in 9ff design with optimized airflow, a new front lip for better performance at top speed, a new rear bumper with bigger diffuser in combination with 4 rounded end pipes and new designed side skirts.

The performance kits starts with the 9ff PT-55, which gets an ECU upgrade and 9ff Sport air filters and reaches 550 HP and a torque of 760Nm. The next level is the 9ff PT-60, which produces 600 HP and a torque of 800 Nm for the sporty 9ff Panamera customers. At his conversion the kit gets an additional 9ff sport exhaust system with sport catalytic converters which produces the typical 9ff turbo exhaust sound and is good for better performance.

The recent peak of the 9ff Panamera conversion stages is the 9ff PT-65, 650 HP, 850 Nm of torque and a performance which is similar to supersportscars.

The 9ff PT-65 gets a 9ff sport air filter, 9ff ECU, 9ff engine cover, 9ff illuminated door sill protectors, 9ff sport exhaust system, new 9ff PT-65 turbochargers in exchange and a new engine bonnet with air vents for reducing the heat in the engine compartment.

There is also new interior design available at 9ff. The customer can choose between new materials, new colors and also different de signs. The interior design gets changed upon request. There are nearly no limits in modifying the interior.

2010 LOTUS ETERNE

 The Lotus Eterne concept – another 4-door supersedan similar to the likes of the Aston Martin Rapide, the Porsche Panamera, the Fisker Karma, the Tesla Model S, the Maserati Quattroporte, and etc. The Eterne will be powered by a similar engine as the one found in the Esprit – a 5.0 liter force inducted V8 making 620 PS, but it will be mounted in a front-mid position instead of at the rear like the Esprit.

The plan is for a Spring 2015 launch so this car has quite some way to go. An Eterne equipped with just the internal combustion engine will be rear wheel drive, but the spec sheet lists optional hybrid drive via a “hybrid gearbox with integrated electric motors and KERS”. This is likely a gearbox that has the electric motor sandwiched between it and the combustion engine, somewhat like a motor assist system.

Lotus has put an indicative price of £120,000. That’s about £20,000 cheaper than the four door Aston Martin Rapide’s £139,950 starting price tag, but much more expensive than a Porsche Panamera.
