The Constitution-class starship featured in the original Star Trek had a top warp speed of 8. Warp 9 was attainable at extreme risk due to energy output limitations of the warp core and limitations of other systems such as warp coils, the structural integrity field and the amount of energy the propulsion system could handle without overloading.
How would Warp 9 look like? Good comparison.
