Eurovision 08: Here is your winner. I have nothing further to add.

Porsche-based 9ff GT9, set to become the fastest car in the world and de-throne the Veyron.

This outlandish looking FrankenPorsche is known as the “Veyron killer” — and seemingly with good reason.

Say hello to the 9ff GT9, a Porsche-derived tarmac missile that recently sped to a velocity of 409km/h at a test track in Papenburg, Germany. If the claim is accurate, it eclipses the Veyron’s 407km/h benchmark (formerly the record for street-legal production cars), and falls just short of the 412km/h record-breaking run of the American-built SSC Aero .

Although spawned from the Porsche 911 GT3, the 9ff GT9 allegedly shares only two per cent of its components with the former. Its appearance is also well removed, thanks to a heavily chopped roofline and a stretched (by about 300mm) chassis in the quest for better aerodynamics and stability.

5 Holiday planning tips (according to stupid horror movies)

Step One: Choosing a Location

Many of your classmates will head back home or to classic vacation standbys such as Virgina Beach. To hell with that! If you want to make this break extremely special, you and your attractive, one-dimensional friends should pick somewhere a little more secluded and off the beaten path. Some things to keep in mind:

Hotels: The cheaper and more sparsely populated the surrounding area is, the better. It’s more authentic that way. Or something.

Activities: You’d think those locations would be abandoned because they’re boring. On the contrary, plenty of desolate locations are chock full of potential for fun outdoorsy activities, if you know where to look. For instance, ancient Aztec ruins are a great place to go hiking with your friends, as are abandoned caves and mine shafts.
