Nice car, but I would have sold it as a RUF car then purchased a different turbo tolet Speed Gallery put thier 800 kit on that.

SG did the gt800... ?

Let's run...

The wheels are not RUF, the front bumper is Techart and the engine is Speed gallery. Why RUF? Does it have an Integrated Roll cage?

I must be fast that's for sure!

The bumper is Techart style not Techart
