Received this from Ruf today. Not everyone's a fan, just passing along the info for those who are.

Porsche 997 Turbo PDK with 620 hp RUF-upgrade

RUF Automobile GmbH proudly announces a new upgrade for both the Porsche 997 Turbo and the Turbo S. The standard 500 hp of the Turbo and the 530 hp of the Turbo S has been increased through an upgraded ECU, sport air filters, sport catalytic converters and a new exhaust system with double end pipes.

This upgrade gives you 620 hp, matching the Porsche GT2RS. The Torque increases to an astonishing 820 Nm @ 3,000 to 3,500 rpm. This enables a sprint of 0 – 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, 0 – 200 km/h in 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph (326 km/h). See attached dyno sheet.

The upgrade is available for both the manual and the PDK versions. You can now have the performance of the GT2RS in manual or PDK trans; AWD and the luxury of your Turbo or Turbo S! You also get the bragging rights of a true 200+ mph car...........................

I thought Porsche already claimed a 0 – 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds for the stock Turbo S?

I would be very cautious about working with RUF Germany. One of their former employees is local to me who painted a very interesting picture of the state of RUF now.

590 from maha is absolutely max what is available from 997.2 and this is with modded turbines.

750Nm is max what stock pdk can handle.
