The new dimension of driving pleasure has a name: RUF Rt 12. This high performance sports car is the perfect combination of high end performance and every day use. Biturbo engines have shown that they are the platform for the next evolutionary step in RUF engine technology. Three different performance steps are available: 530 bhp, 560 bhp and 650 bhp. The 650 bhp 3.8 liter engine is of a new construction, which sets a new benchmark in performance and torque. 2WD is standard but 4WD is available on request. The aerodynamic characteristics of the car are improved with RUF-developed front – and rear bumpers, rear spoiler and side mirrors. The air intakes for the intercoolers are integrated in the wider rear fenders. The RUF Rt 12 is launched with the latest evolution of the RUF 5-spoke alloy wheels in a striking 19“ design at the front axle and 20” at the rear axle. The brake system has big drilled, ventilated discs and fixed light alloy monobloc callipers. The suspension is engineered for a maximum speed of more than 220 mph. Available as an option is a special RUF sports suspension, which can be lifted hydraulically into a 50 millimetre higher position in order to get more ground clearance for easier parking and garage entrances. The interior of the Rt 12 has well known RUF-functionalism. Bucket seats and a handy sports steering wheel provide the best ergonomics for a sporty and non tiring drive. RUF instrumentation with traditional green typeface and “Pepita” cloth in the middle of the bucket seats brings the flair of the 50s and 60s sports cars into a modern cockpit. Aluminium parts and details painted in the body colour provide the mix of classic and modern. The Rturbo is also available with the latest version of the RUF Integrated Roll Cage (IRC) – leather / alcantara trimmed and very unobtrusive.

Love everything except the colour....looks like it needs '01' decals on it as well as a confederate flag on the roof!
 
Ruf has been around for 20 years. Its just you noticing them now.

I will say, the color leaves a bit to be desired.

Beautiful car though.

Sorry, don't like it. I prefer my cars to have braking ability.

Wait a minute.... I'm being :dunce: here, aren't I? You'd just have to accelerate to 61 and then brake. That'd work, wouldn't it?
 
Colours can be altered, and with that in mind and ignoring the colour, I must say I like the car alot. RUF in my eyes do some of the best work with Porsche cars.
 
Good to see that 4WD is an option.

I don't like this as much as the SPR1 T80. I'll still take that one thanks. :)
 
Another winner from RUF in my opinion. Amazing looks with specs to back it up. I agree with everyone about the color, but thats just paint, they won't all be that color (I hope).
I'd love to see the 0-60 time for the AWD model. :drool:
 
And this is better than the factory 911 Turbo or GT3 because....???
(see performance specs, compare)
 
I have a copy of Sports Car GT International or something like that where they test this RT12 (or was it Road and Track, not sure).

Anyway, here's some specs off the top of my head from the issue.

0-60mph 3.1s/3.2s
top speed: 217mph

And the guy commented on it that the brutal acceleration was absolutely amazing and that it handled really well. He also said he was doing 217.1mph (measured via gps radar or something..) on the autobahn and that it was very stable and all.
 
Dukes orange indeed...someone tell these guys to metallic that paint, or pearl it.

what's this ruf's take on? Cayman?
 
Ubber sweetage, or hella sacrelidge? You decide!

I am not sure, its cool, but not sure I would be caught dead in it...other porche-aphiles might throw garbage....

I wouldn't worry too much about that. As you most likely already know, 911s are renowned for their excellent braking (among other things). Knowing Ruf, they wouldn't leave something as important as the brakes untouched.

He was joking...

The linked page has "Unavailable" quoted for the 60mph-0 braking distance.
