Does Ruf ever plan on doing anything with the CGT? I always wondered.

 

theres a supercar in the works, its called the R50

 

And it's going to built in the new RUF factory in Bahrain.

 

Man ; Khalid you guys are lucky!

A factory , Track days etc

We are glad to have cars instead of camels

 

Hesperus,

Thank you very much for keeping us updated on the progress of your car.

You will have the first RT12 on 6speed. You're a very lucky fellow. Do you have the "longer" sixth gear option as well?

Schuepbach, Khalid,

Any idea when the R50 will be released? Production numbers must be extremely limited, right?

 

It's fugly ... It better be extremely fast ...

Gemballa is also doing a CGT ... also very promising.

 

no word as to when or how many yet.

 

thanks! i will continue to post updates as I receive them.

we thought about the taller sixth... but in the end, the standard sixth gear is more than enough. where i live, there are no freeways or autobahns to really enjoy that kind of speed. so acceleration is more relevant than top end.

 

thanks! you are too kind. the F40 has been on my top 3 dream car list from when the model was introduced. maybe i'm just a child of the 80's, but even with all the crazy *** rides and horsepower wars going on, nothing epitomizes the term "supercar" for me, more than the F40 and the Macca.

 

Thats the R50?

 

That was a prototype of the car .. but the pics are almost 2 years old now ... No new pictures have been posted.

At the moment Ruf is concentrating on the "bodykit"-version of the RK Spyder for the Boxster 987. I do not know how the current R50 progress is ...

 

Thank you.

Daggie, thank you as well.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

The RUF factory would, hopefully, be ready around March next year.

That's not what the R50 would look like. It's only a prototype.

Didn't mean to highjack your thread Hesperus.

 

No, that's GODZILLA. The prototype.

I've seen it and a model of what it is going to look like
