RUF RGT
RUF isn’t your ordinary tuner,
as the German company manufactures and engineers its own original vehicles.
That’s why RUF is officially recognized as a car manufacturer, offering
RUF-certified VIN/serial numbers along with its products.
Give them a Cayman and they’ll build you an RK, give
them a 911 and they’ll come up with the RGT. The latter isn’t based on modified
performance-bred 911, but on a body-in-white, 3.6-litre Carrera that RUF bored
to 3.8-litre (3746 cc), modified the exhaust, replaced the ECU and added a
dry-sump lubrication system.
The result is a 445 hp, naturally aspirated 911
that’s getting close to the official 997’s GT3 RS’ performance figures. With a
0 to 100 km/h time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h, the RGT is just 0.2 seconds slower off the line than Porsche’s
track-focused offering but compensates with a higher top speed.
It also comes with an integrated roll cage and
racing suspension, riding on 19-inch alloy wheels, just in case you want to set
new records on your local track.
This model offered for sale by RUF, has only
traveled 19,500 km (12,116 mil) and it features a Nappa leather dark blue interior,
sports bucket seats, lightweight doors made out of Kevlar, climate control,
navigation system, and BOSE sound system.
It’s € 235,000 (US$ 265,350) might be a little steep for
some, but this car is actually one of RUF’s first RGTs, that appeared in the
official press release when it was launched.
