The new dimension of driving pleasure has a name: RUF Rt 12. This high performance sports car (http://fast-autos.net/vehicles/Ruf/2006/Rt_12/#) 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.

OOOOOooh i like it!!!! :D

that is awesome. too bad about the carbon interior

Ruf has always been the best at tuning Porsches.

I like everything but the design.. i'm sorry, but double spoilers? I don't see it.. making a 997 look good is hard enough.

Oh, and those seats really bother me.. they're too wide at the top. It looks like a whale tongue or something.

the last 911 turbo has double spoilers so that's nothing weird. the car is gorgous. Kudos for RUF

Yeah.. and it was still ugly.

jaja but i think it isn't.......

Damn.... That's a beauty! I just don't like the new seats - theyu look fugly! I have absolutely no problems about the double spoilers.

haha i didn't notice those seats. man those look awkward.

still, i like it.

I like it.
I don't like the seats but thats about it. They would be fine if you could get rid of the strage pattern on the cloth.
650HP is just insane.

Nice car, this is why I like RUF because they sat back and thought instead of diving straight in and going mental and making a 800-900bhp car, yeh 650bhp is a lot of power but its not a stupid amount, it'll have decent reliability and I could drive it without worrying whether the engine is going blow itself to pieces or not.

Those seats are actually a really good thing, because while you've got great lumbar support, they're wide at the top for your shoulders, which, try driving with your arms squeezed in, it's hard as heck. That extra room up top allows you to move them easily, but in reeeeally hard cornering gives you some bolstering.

It's not bad, I'd take the RGT GT3 though, (996).

Yeah but your head is going to flop around like a fish.

the seats are great, is just the color patern they give them.

maybe if it came in bubblegum blue..

Same with me. Seriously who needs more then 650 hp in car like that. That car is as useful for evrey day driving as stock 911 and it is more powerful. If it would have 900hp there would be bunch of problems with lag, realiability and you would be on edge all the time. Your right leg would probably hurt couse you would be so careful with trottle.

Looks the exact same as last years, which I thought was a sexy ass car. Good stuff ;)

It looks amazing! One of the best Ruf's I have seen.

Ok well personally i am not a very big fan of this car sure it looks nice except for those horrific double spoilers, come on people one is enough now way someone needs that much downforce, ecxept when you are going 217mph on the autobahn and i defy you to try and not kill yourself!

conclusion: way too much money to kill yourself!
