Name originWikipedia does not explain where the name 9ff comes from. It does record that the company was founded by Jan Fatthauer and that it specializes in Porsche conversions. The 9 may allude to the Porsche 911 line, but that is an assumption and not a documented fact.ABT is the surname of the Abt family of Kempten im Allgäu. The family business goes back to 1896, when Johann Baptist Abt's blacksmith and horseshoeing tradition began, and Abt Sportsline GmbH was founded in 1991.
