The rear-engine layout of the Porsche 911 has some serious advantages on the drag strip. When you're launching from a standstill, having a lot of the car's weight directly over the rear axle helps you put the power down to the rear wheels. But it also means there's not a lot hanging over the front axle, making the 911 capable of serious wheelies when modified.
ESMotor, a Turkish tuning company, demonstrated that on Facebook earlier this week. The company posted a video of a 2016 911 Turbo S modified by ESMotor lifting both front tires at the drag strip. Despite the all-wheel-drive 911 clearly not having traction at the front, it still managed to run in the mid-eights on its quarter-mile run. As shown in the video, on its third run, the 911 crossed the line in 8.68 seconds and was going nearly 170 mph.
The company hasn't listed a power output for its full TT kit, but with a 0-62 time of 2.06 seconds and 0-124 of 5.28 seconds, it's clearly putting out some insane numbers. For reference, our last instrumented test of the 911 Turbo S saw the car hitting 60 in 2.6 seconds and dispatching a quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 124.4 mph. So clearly this isn't just a grip upgrade; the ESMotor modified 911 charges harder from the beginning and carries a massive speed advantage down the entire strip.
Yet, it's not even the fastest car ESMotor has built. The company claims that its full suite of mods—including custom turbos, ECU tuning, transmission upgrades, and more—can boost output to around 1800 horsepower. That's gotten one of their cars into the sevens, ripping through a quarter mile in 7.95 seconds at a bonkers trap speed of 190 mph.
