2010 Porsche 9ff GTurbo 750 by Jan Fatthauer

Jan Fatthauer designing Porsche 9ff GTurbo 750. From 1200 horsepower 911 Cabriolets to his own GT9R, he caters to a hardcore crowd for whom too much is never enough. It was only a matter of time before he brought his big thinking to the finely tuned scalpel that is the RennSport.

Then, Jan Fatthauer began by cutting out weight, fitting a carbon-fiber bonnet, doors, and plastic side windows, and stripping the interior. The carpet is gone, along with the door inserts. Even the center console is missing, exposing the gear linkage for all to see. There’s just a seat, the dash, and a full-bore rollcage with the front sourced from Porsche Motorsport and Cobra Evolution seats.

Porsche waxed lyrical about stripping 44 pounds from the weight of the GT3 when it built the RS, which cost $18,000 more to essentially get a lot less. So 9ff’s work in stripping a full 220 pounds from the weight of the RS despite the additional mechanical components is quite a feat. Even if the big-wave-riding full conversion isn’t your bag, 9ff’s carbon parts alone should work wonders on the handling front.
