The only Guards Red R Turbo in existence, some pics for you guys

These pics have been a very long time coming.

Highlights after 7k miles are:

205mph with Mr RUF,
Breaking the High Speed Oval Lap Record at the BoxBerg Proving Grounds,
Running 2.04 mins round the Lemans Bugatti Circuit,
Managing to make the brakes smoke,
and no mechanical probs whatsoever.





Lemans:


all the best

Adam,

That car is awesome! Looks like a narrow body, so did you buy the complete car from Ruf? Where do you live? I think GUARDS RED IS THE BEST!

MWILENS: I was able to spend a lot of time in different cars when i was at RUF, including several Porsche turbos with the engine conversion. The main difference I felt was the built quality. The porsche turbo feels somehwat manufactured, the RUF made cars feel almost alive, its something i believe porsche has lost and something RUF is capitalising on. my experience with RUF was amazing, for more info check www.bmwm5.com

Darren: Have fun over there

Andrew: Thanks for the kind words though we havent started to mod the car yet

Duane: Thank you, your TT is one of the nicest around

Buddy: The car is actually widebody, and we live in England

all the best
