Ruf RT12R
 
I got an email today from Ruf. A new variant of the RT12 is going to be announced in Geneva this morning.


RUF Automobile GmbH will introduce the new 2011 Rt 12 R coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show this morning. This new RUF boasts 730 bhp
and brashly wears the German tri-color paint scheme to remind you of it's German heritage. Top speed is 234 mph.

...and, oh, BTW, the 2011 CTR3 now boasts 755 bhp and a new 7 speed manual transmission with sequential selector. :)

That paint scheme makes the face.

Headlights - eyes
Gap under the hood - smiling mouth
stripe on the hood - nose

The car seems almost unreal.

Bob, send them an email, I have a deal on Performance Boxes if they want to do some runs and submit them to Scott for verification to be put on our board...

I'm sure SportAuto or AutoBild will do some numbers when the car becomes available.

Pricing?? Give it to me in Euros so I don't go into complete shock.
