Went to Bruntingthorpe today with Nine Excellence testing new IC's on my 9E 25. We hit 204 - 205 mph (GPS) again and again, despite a little head wind and sunny 24 - 25c. Best run was 206.2 mph (GPS) and 0 - 186 mph on 25 sec flat. The run off area was blocked off all day with trucks, so had to brake a little early to be able to make the first right turn.

During afternoon there were a few race bikes to play with, had great fun trashing them all down the straight. The bike riders looked a little unhappy when being flashed to move over at 180 - 185 mph biglaugh

Ken will probably add a little more details and George will add photos/videos from today.

206 = clap

I see you chaps use Bruntingthorpe regularly. Out of interest, how does one gain permission to use Brunty? I'm local (20-30 mins) and would love to come down with the C63 and test the factory de-limit (Drivers Package). Happy to chip in some coin with you guy's if you fancy using me as a guinea pig hehe

Cheers buddy... I am little further away, more like 5 - 6 hours which include a tunnel ride curse

I can recommend you to make contact with Craig who runs Vmax200.com and intro yourself. Craig runs a few Saturday events during the year and invite a broad variety exotics and fast cars. Its a great day out with a cool group of petrol heads racing each other for fun under safe circumstances.

In addition, Nine Excellence now and then test customer cars on week days (like my car yesterday). Not sure how they organize access, but try and contact Ken from Nine Excellence.

If you like to test yourself and your car against M3/5/6, AMG, Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche Audi etc., Vmax200 days would probably be perfect for you. The Nine Excellence test days are with very fast Porsches, where you probably would have a hard time with a standard AMG hehe

Cheers,
HH

Just refilled my little 9E 25 toy, amazingly she gave me just under 10 km/l when driving back last night. Cruised at about 90 mph for 495 km (310 miles) and just filled 50 L on her. Porsches are amazing cars, doing 30+ runs over 200 mph on the track and cruise back home doing 10 km/l, I am speechless cool

You can ring and ask Jim or Graham on the gate. It is better that you go with others because during the week whilst it is quiet most of the times, it really does help having someone else to look out for traffic etc. There is the full circuit and a shorter version that joins on to the main circuit which can be an issue at high speeds.

We are there pretty regularly at the moment and will be quite a lot next month testing new 997 packages. Drop me a message and we can organise something.

Ken, what are the new 997 packages in terms of goals you've set yourself?

Several goals actually. All with the same methodology as we do on the 996 turbos - real world performance backed by proper testing results.

1. To have an effective simple upgrade without changing the VTGs - so just remap + y-pipe replacement + intercoolers - performance to be in the region of 540-550hp backed up by 0-300kph times

2. VTG hybrids (gen 1 based VTG) - remap, y-pipe, IPD, TB and intercoolers - performance to be in the region of 580-640 (quite a wide range dependant on boost, backed up by 0-320kph times

3. VTG hybrids (gen 2 based VTG) - package being worked on, but moving towards 600-650hp range performance, backed up by 0-320kph times

4. Non VTG - we already have these packages right up to extreme high hp.

5. PDK upgrade - currently being worked on in terms of increasing the strength of the box

6. Tiptronic upgrade - Hold more power


Status

1. Available

2. Available and being fitted to test car in next 4 weeks - Our VTG Hybrids are different to what is available on the market - the issue with VTG is heat.

- One resolution is to increase the VTG Housing (turbine) size - larger the VTG housing the better at heat control. However issue is cost - you need to start with the VTGs that are in the 997GT2RS, and you cannot buy the housing either from Porsche or direct from manufacturer. So the cost goes up because you need to buy these turbos first and they are over £2k each.
- Our resolution is to flow more, but run less boost. So we have a hybrid VTG completed, that flows 5 lbs more per turbo than those on the GT2RS (620ps) with standard VTG housing. The GT2RS runs at up to 1.6 bar, so we are planning to run at 1.2 bar. Clearly we can run higher for example in sport mode and so on.
- package is being run in the next few weeks.

3. Hybrid not completed yet, but spec'd with our turbo builder already. Not far away.

4. Easy solution, just dump the VTGs and we can provide whatever level of power is required. For example the 9E25 package will work straight on to a 997 turbo

5. The nightmare for all tuners at the moment. You can put in a 1000hp engine+turbo package and it will still run no faster than a package at the 600hp engine+turbo package - PDK reduces power automatically on slip.

6. Available - both hardware and software solution.

Engine builds for gen 1 and gt2rs are already available including increased capacity.

997 tuning is more expensive than 996 tuning - as always the newer the model the more that cost is for tuning. We will look at whether that is justified.

Buddy, We moved to metric a while back, mpg is ancient... 10km/l is damn good for a high power car. Actually a little sad when I think about, it's better than any of my other cars can do ;-(

Roll on video of a 9E tuned (around 520-mark) 996 Turbo S against our 9E25 car. The 996 Turbo S hit 189gps and is a quick car, but you can see the difference...

Having experienced it first hand, I gotta say, the speed at which those turbos spool is incredible... as a result its a total roll-on monster !

I was waiting for the camera angle to tilt and to pass through the clouds shortly after. Very impressive.
