...that Ruf Automobiles develops/developed a V8 Engine copying the AJP8?
I saw a report today of Ruf Automobiles and Alois Ruf, the owner, explained this new developed inhouse V8 engine and it smells for me that they catched the idea of the AJP8...
The RGT-8 ist equipped with that engine.
So the AJP8 is still alive

no, I don't think so.
I can't see any similarities at all, except being a V8. Perhaps I missed something?
Engine:
Lightweight-8-Cylinder-90°-engine with racing DNA
180° crankshaft “Flatcrank”
4,5 Liter displacement
Power output 404 kW (550 bhp) @ 8500rpm
Maximum torque 500 Nm @ 5400rpm
Aluminium crankcase and cylinder heads
Water cooled, cylinderheads and engineblock cross flowed
4-valve system with spherical layout
4 camshafts with hydraulically timed valve system for in- and outlet
Hydraulic valve tappets
Dry sump oil lubrication with two windage trays for each of the 4 chambers
Individual chamber oil suction with 2 suction intakes
Waterpump, generator and AC compressor are directly driven of the Engine (no belts), located at the lowest position
Sequential fuel injection system
Individual cylinder ignition coils
Electronic engine management system
Electronic throttle control system per bank with 2 butterflies
3-Way catalytic converters with stereo closed loop lambda control
On-Board-Diagnosis for continuous monitoring of the exhaust system
