The renowned Porsche specialist brought a series of seriously impressive models at the Geneva Motor Show.
RUF revealed the new SCR 4.2 model which, as the name suggests, uses a 4.2-litre water-cooled naturally aspirated engine with no less than 525PS at a screaming 8370rpm.
Featuring a skin that’s almost entirely made out of carbon, this manual masterpiece weighs just 1190kg (2,623 lbs), offering a weight-to-power ratio of 2,2kg/PS. RUF has also extended the wheelbase by 7cm and redesigned completely the rear suspension to improve weight distribution and offer better stability and handling.
Next to it is the baby-blue Ultimate model, which retains the standard wheelbase and instead uses a twin-turbo flat-six engine, producing 590PS at 6800rpm and 720Nm of torque at 4500rpm. Given that the car weighs just 1215kg (2,679 lbs), things must be rather interesting behind its wheel.
Evo magazine takes us for a tour around RUF’s stand to show us the rest of this gorgeous collection of cars, including the Turbo R Limited, a 620PS 993-based creation that can do 211mph (339km/h) and has a manual gearbox.
