Audi and Porsche, both brands from the Volkswagen Group, have developed separate platforms for their first volume electric cars. Meanwhile, over at Porsche, engineers have developed the J1 platform for a sedan based on 2015鈥檚 Mission E concept. Given how fast the technology is advancing, it shouldn鈥檛 come as a surprise that Audi and Porsche are already working on their next electric car platform, this time with development split between the two brands. The greater collaboration is the result of cost cutting measures at the VW Group following the diesel scandal. Speaking recently with Automotive News (subscription required), Audi R&D boss Peter Mertens revealed that the new platform, code-named the Premium Platform Electric, or PPE for short, will spawn three 鈥渕odel families,鈥?two of which will be for Audi. Mertens hinted that about 60 percent of the models spawned from the platform would be from Audi and the remainder from Porsche. He also hinted that the platform could be used for vehicles in core segments such as those occupied by the Audi A4 and A6. Interestingly, Mertens also said Audi is looking to reduce the number of internal combustion engines it currently offers, which again should come as no surprise. He questioned the need for 10- and 12-cylinder engines but said V-8s are here to stay for a while still. He also said diesel will be offered in many markets for a while, too. Porsche CEO Oliver Blume isn鈥檛 so supportive of diesels. In July, he said Porsche was evaluating the future of diesel engines and would make a final decision by the end of the decade.
Based in Dortmund, Germany, car tuning company 9ff is a specialty car shop that converts stock Porsche vehicles into street legal race cars. The company was founded in 2001 by Jan Fatthauer and derives its name from the Porsche 911. The company started out by creating the extensively rebuilt 9ff GT9 that was created out of a Porsche 911 (997) GT3 base car. The model later evolved into and was replaced by the GT9-R. For better weight distribution, the vehicle came with its engine in the engine that provides maximum rear-wheel grip. The engine placement and engine performance is perhaps the only real difference between the Porsche 911 and the 9ff GT9-R. A total of 150 GT9s have been produced by the company out of which 20 have been in GT9-R specification. The prices for the model range between 拢 150,000 and 拢 540,000 and the company promise to be able personalize each vehicle to a particular customer鈥檚 needs so that no two 9ffs are the same.

It's probably a step beyond the F-Type that any of us could live with every day. That doesn't intrude on what it is鈥攁 fearless middle finger at the future of cars, with a leering eye at their past. The F-Type has hacked its way through the sports car jungle since it was new in 2014. It's taken a couple of years for Jaguar to flesh out the lineup. In three model years, the convertible has been joined by a coupe, then an awesome F-Type Coupe R edition, then manual-shift and all-wheel-drive editions. Now Jaguar Land Rover鈥檚 Special Vehicle Operations gets a crack at it, and in the process, neatly sums up what the F-Type is all about with the SVR. It's the first of the brand's aluminum-hulled sports cars to hit a claimed 200 mph. I didn't quite reach that epic milestone, but at Spain's Motorland Aragon circuit, with a pro co-pilot and two passes, I saw 175 mph indicated, and it wasn't even the trickiest part of the day.
