RUF Turbo Ultimate '16

[Miao]

Today at RUF Automobile we are manufacturing with advanced RUF technology a RUF Twin turbo six-cylinder boxer engine with all the attributes of a classic air cooled engine. The twin turbo engine draws from 3.6 liters displacement no less than 590 hp at 6800 rpm and 720 Nm of torque. As a tool to keep the weight under 1200 kg we use a complete Carbon skin, bringing not only the weight down but increasing the rigidity of the chassis, reinforced with the traditional RUF IRC. The Carbon Kevlar prepregs – cured in autoclave at high pressure (six bars) and high temperatures (120 C) under controlled cure cycles. The result of such a process is an extremely light and strong structure. An aeronautical process where all cycles are well controlled and recorded bringing as a result constant quality of the components. The lightweight carbon body, whereby the center of gravity is lowered increases the potential cornering speeds of the Ultimate. Rear-wheel drive and a traditional H-pattern transmission complete the classic sports car feeling.

Hmm, I was expecting RUF's new models shown at Geneva to be based on some Porsche's... newer models. Not that these ones are a bad thing, it's great that RUF still makes new cars out of more old models.

I wonder how the the Porsche purists/fanboys/fangirls feel about.

again a video double post ....
i actualy realy like RUFs "resto rod's" of the older models
but for the latest models i'm not so fond of they're design
only they're ducktail that fits under the new Targa's rear window opening
as for Porsche tuners i prefere the TechArt styling
did ya know the Porsche has the most single brand tuners that can make a living from it
because Porsche buyers actualy DRIVE they're cars every chanse they get
because they're so much fun to drive
and Porsche has the record of most miles/km per car sold,
that used to be Audi untill 2 years after they released the R8
cause most audi's where bought by salesmen who did many miles for they're work
unlike other brands that dissapear under a blanked as fast as possible just to collect investment value....

Don't really want to get into this but

Excellent use of the Big Lebowski. And i agree completely

[MadManCK]

Unfortunately for the Big Lebowski fanboys, stats proof that Porsche owners drive their cars more than other sports car manufacturers.
So it is not just an opinion, but based on facts.

This RUF Retro is a very cool project that brings back the looks of the air cooled 911 with modern day technology. Smart from RUF and also a statement towards Porsche, that makes bigger and heavier 911's now, stuffed with electrical stuff to camouflage the increased weight.
This Turbo Ultimate will be a blast to drive for sure.

Unfortunately for you that's not the part of the post I quoted or the one I was referring to.

As there is no way to really say all the Porsche buyers drive they cars at every chance they get. And the "they're so much fun to drive" is merely an opinion and not a fact.
