Looks quite nice, but not in this colour. It will be an outstanding standing little devil just like any other Ruf.... so is the bloody PRICE !!!

You can get the new turbo for that and still have lots of money aside to burn some rubbers 8) The turbo might be a little bit slower but is more of a complete car than this one. So, naaaaah bring on the turbo.

If you want to see the UBER ruf in action on the ring: go to youtube, go for Ruf RT12 and enjoy the show of the "bluebird" 8)

That colour is amazing. So much depth to it. Car looks great, but costs an arm and a leg, but i guess exclusivity is key.

...if the planets align correctly, I may be able to offer an InDepth later on

Whets up with the silver part on top of the taillights, kind of looks out of place!

I like that color and the shape, very nice! I like the hp figures too but the price is nuts. But who knows? Maybe the performance/design/exclusivity justify the price, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

As i wrote it is limited to 49 cars, and as we know people like to pay more (or much more) for this exclusivity.

Looks nice but not my cup of tea. RK is not RUF though. RUF just provides powertrain and chassis components.

Its a good concept, though I'd rather go for a more subtle approach like TechArts 3.8 litre conversion or a TTP turbo engine. The Cayman is a wonderful platform
