2006 9ff Cayman CR 42 news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
There is no doubt: All our understanding begins wîth experience. What else should awaken our intellect if not objects appealing to our senses, producing, on the one hand, ideas all by themselves, while, on the other hand, inviting our intellectual capacity to compare, associate or to divide them in order to transform the raw material of our sensory impressions into the sort of understanding called experience?
Titles, records and everyday work are experiences which have brought 9ff to an understanding that gave birth to the idea of creating this homage to our senses.
The clear, no-nonsense, but nevertheless powerful design of the CR42 is a clear mirror reflecting the philosophy of the small-series manufacturer from Dortmund.
Elegant, aerodynamically efficient and wîth a sharpened precision.
The two-seater convinces in every respect by its love for detail. First to mention are the excitingly designed and very light disc wheels equipped wîth a patented central locking system and the precisely adjustable chassis comprising any imaginable component and, last but not least, the attached parts partially manufactured from carbon.
Cleverly combined, but also reasonable in detail.
But, the 9ff CR42's highlight is hidden deep inside the mid-engined sports car: A 4.1L flat engine generously offering its 420hp as well as its powerful 435Nm of torque. This is the basis for thrilling driving performances and a superior power development vaporising any benchmark in its §egmènt.
The 9ff Cayman masters the sprint of prestige to 100km/h in 4.4 seconds, and about 10 seconds later, the CR42 already passes the 200km/h mark.
Even the smaller engine version – wîth a displacement of 3.8 litres – outshone all its competitors wîth its performance during a comparative test at AMS.
The understanding gained there may by now be experienced through the 9ff CR42.Source - 9ff

| 1961 Targa Florio: Porsche Dominance, Ferrari Victorious | |
 | The first race held on the island of Sicily that included an automobile would take place between the car, a bicycle and a horse. Although the gentleman on the bicycle would drop out rather early due to leg cramps constantly going up and down on the mountainous roads, the battle between the de Dion motor tricycle and the horse would be an intriguing one. In the end, the same principles that played out in that first race would come into play many years later when the island hosted the 1961 Targa F...[Read more...] |
