You can look at 9ff’s GTurbo1000 this way: a Porsche 911 Turbo that was pushed all the way up to the nice figure of 1,000 hp and 1,000 Nm (lb-ft). An owner of such a car took it out on the Nurburgring earlier today and when he reached the Dottinger Straight he put the pedal to the metal, sending the to speeds between 340 km/h (211 mph) and 350 km/h (217 mph).
During the run, the rear wing of the car collapsed due to the enormous downforce generated. The rear spoiler appears to be mounted on steel elements, which were bent during the high speed run. Fortunately, the wing didn’t separate itself from the car, so the driver was able to stop the car in a safe manner.

9ff is a well-known Porsche tuner with a rich tradition, so we’re pretty sure that the company will address this issue.
