997 RUF spotted today!!

[Mousem40]

Spotted this black beast behind me on the A406 this afternoon heading South. Looked in my rear view mirror and thought it was just a bodykitted 997, then noticed the slatted bonnet and thought it had to be something special. As it overtook I noticed it was a RUF Rt12 with blacked out windows. What a beast! As I took my exit, the Ruf had some clear road ahead, and gave it the beans.....ballistic!

Anyone here?

Stunning - my dream car.

Can't be too many black RT12s in the UK - doesn't that belong to LeonS?

Gosh, you're right, I looked it up and it's only £165,000 and there was me thinking it was for the exclusive few.....

Thats Leon's car, as there's only one black Ruf RT12 in the UK to my knowledge currently. A fully specced 650bhp RT12 like Leons would costs a shade over £200k.

I sold him the number plate, as I had a few Ruf ones and had decided it was unlikely I would get an RT12.

[Maverick73]

Yeah but is he happy?

[jonnydm]

That is one almighty beast. He is a very lucky guy! Is it really worth twice as much as a 997TT though? Probably.

Only if you think so and thats the only important person to consider.

So..

The RT12 is a purpose built RUF version of the GT2? And the RUF Rturbo is their aftermarket modification for the 997tt?

Ruf RTurbo is based on the 996TT

RT12 is based on the 997TT.

Porsche - think Rolex, Ruf - think Audemars! Both are chronographs and work exceedingly well but one is rather rare and hand built.

And just to confuse things, isnt Guyr's RUF R-GT2 based on the 996GT2?

Yep using an "r Turbo" 590 engine

[Mousem40]

For that kind of money I can't think of much that's better or more exclusive. The number plate in full is perfect! Although you could probably get a Carrera GT for close to that.

Just seeing something like that in the flesh, you know a real enthusiast is behind the wheel.
Awesome! Just wish I didn't have to turn off and could have had a bit of fun with him

If were talking 200k ish id rather have something that starts with a 5 and ends in a 9.

Im not saying the Ruf isnt amazing im just saying how i would spend 200k ish.
