I think it's the absolute bees knees- if I had the dollar I'd rather one of these RUF cars than a boring 991 GT3 type modern Porsche from the factory.

generally the RUF cars are 3 - 5x more money, with a custom fibre body / shell i bet this is over a million

I would do just about anything to get my hands on one of these!

That said, I reckon if I was going for a classic design 911, it would have to be a Singer.

Singers are for beardy hipsters. Ruf anyday of the week.

I'm pretty sure RUF buy chassis off Porsche then have carte blanche to do what they like with them or as in this case create a chassis from scratch but base it on Porsche designs. I'm not sure who Alios Ruf had to bribe\blackmail\sleep with to get that deal but it's over and above what a normal "tuner" could get away with, either way it's all above board and Porsche are fully on board,

[RenesisEvo]

It might be considered heresy, but just imagine this car with the 4.0 N/A engine from the GT3/911R (9000 rpm, 500PS).

"Morgen, ist das RUF? Ya, zwei bitte - ein mit Turbo, ein ohne Turbo..."

Any opportunity to repost THAT video of the original Yellowbird...

I can't believe it took 3 pages for that to get posted!

What's that in the background?

Those inboard spring/dampers make this car for me - so cool - especially being on show in the window

[dom9]

Background looks like a Ruf CTR3: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ruf+ctr&rls=...

It looks like a game when they cant afford the Porsche name and that it looks just stty enough for Porsche not to unleash die legal politzburo... A Porch 920 Turdo.

Oooff this has just gone straight to the top of my lottery win list!

10000%

In a heartbeat makes the 911R look normal.

I desire that above all others (unless there is a carbon chassis, power upgraded Lotus Carlton launched)

It looks terrible....

Great car, but if I am being really picky, I think they could have done the rear lights better. Vertical LED's and a full strip across the middle as per the original would have made it perfect IMO:-

I'd have to agree but still.... WHAT a car!

[moffat]

Wow, that's just sensational. The only other Porsche that I would have over this would be a 918.

Perfect retro car... would love that thing as part of a car collection, or even my daily if I sold my house and some organs

I'm sure they could accommodate your wish, Sir.

It was a comment from someone who knows nothing about performance cars, clearly!

I'd happily turn into a hipster if it would mean I got a Singer.
