I know nothing about them, but I don't think they come to the market often. I thought it would be of intrest to folks on here.

Used to be owned by a PHer and been sold by 991V a few times already. Quite a few old threads on it. Lovely car.

Not if you have 5 or 6 cars.

Oh my! I love that car.

I think it looks fantastic, and I like the colour combo.

I can't believe this is what value they are now.

I really like the idea of a RUF like that. Just a bit different, exclusive, and even as it gets older it still has something a bit different about it that makes it stand out.

With that mileage and apparant history, it looks a great buy. Wonder why it has changed hands so often?

maybe because 996 and 997 models are not the best cars to be supercharged from what i have read in some americian porsche mags and speaking to a couple of companys a few years ago about this option everyone said dont do it ????

That is absolutely STUNNING!!

Love the integrated Roll Cage. Never thought I'd love a Havanah (spelling!!) interior, although normally hate them.

My only concern would be the longevity of the boosted engine that wasn't exactly rock solid to start with. Surely being a RUF, they didn't simply bolt a Supercharger and let rip??

...... I'm away for another look.... is that back seats in there too smile

Love the rear air intakes - that's how the turbo should be from factory!

I do wonder at them air intakes, though I suppose ruf will have done the aero to see just how effective they are

I saw it the other day and wondered about it. In my opinion, the car looks great on paper.

My big reservation is around the engine. Did they use the gt1 block to build it, or the crap n/a engine?
