I drove the RT12 I think its faster then the CGT . Drove it Just outside RUF factory in the back roads I was having no problems getting 170mph and slowing down for traffic and slow tractors what even makes it more fun is the ease of accelerating from 50mph to 170mph on those small roads and slowing down .
In English its very fast and not for shumi wannabes

 

How about this one ?
First preowned RT12 to hit the Market in the USA,

I don't doubt them at all. I got to ride in a 996 RGT, however they are still a little too pricey in most listings

 

339k euros? I'll take a CS, 599, and G55 please.

 

Looks nice, but price tag doesn't look nice. But then again you have a rare ride.

 

One of my favorite cars, but wow that is quite the price.

 

US Dollars, the car is in Texas.

 

Um, nah. The original car posted is at

KR Leasing GmbH
82515 Wolfratshausen
Deutschland

 

The white RT12 is being sold by a private Dealer in Europe
we are selling the gray RUF RT12 in the USA and it is priced in Dollars

 

Gotta love car prices in the US... though the 599 premium is just silly here.

 

SICK!!!! but with another interior...

 

What's the consensus on the intakes over the wheel instead of in front of it?

I am not feeling it for some reason. I'd still take it though

 

The air intakes are placed there to improve the cars aerodynamics and to provide more air for the intercoolers. RUF is all about form following function.

 

From what I understand, there are a couple reasons for it.

Function. At the top end (200+ km/h), the RT12 has better directional stability than the standard intakes just aft of the doors on the 911 Turbo, it also has cleaner aero than the Porsche intakes. However, the trade-off is that the intercoolers heat-soak quicker in traffic and low-speed driving in warmer weather.

Tradition. The original RUF CTR yellowbird record-breaking car had large NACA ducts that fed the intercoolers in the fenders. Testing later showed that air was actually being pushed out of the front of the ducts, air was effectively being forced backwards through the duct, which is why you don't see any of the customer-delivered production CTRs with the ducts.

You can see the duct pretty clearly here

 

The RT12 is such an amazing car!! Both of those cars are beautiful, but I don't get why the gray one is tiptronic... Why would anyone ever want a tiptronic RT12??
