Wow..amazing car! It's unbelievable how they pretty much take the car apart down to the frame and rebuild it to RUF specs. It's like a completely different machine once said and done. I look forward to more pics and VIDs!!

Congratulations!

This is the first time I see a black Rt12. Congrats on the dyno as well, perhaps now some will understand

I hope to see the car in the flesh next year. Are you going to "Nordschleife Hardcore" next year?
We are and we will have the 650 kit in our 996 if everything goes as planned. We would be happy to do some runs side by side on the autobahn outside...

The car isn't actually stripped then rebuilt, they start with a 'white chassis' from porsche then hand build the car with some parts from porsche suppliers, others are their own spec.and are sourced directly.

704 was to the flywheel, but due to 2wd and few moving parts between engine and rear wheels it should put down at least 670bhp.

Erik, let me know when and I'll meet you there

p.s my oz wheels are not shown in the pics, i have colour coded center pieces

congrats buddy!

glad to see she's shaping up so nicely! i still remember how much time you spent poring over the spec sheet last september making sure that everything is exactly like you wanted.

our car is still at Pfaffenhausen actually... take some side-by-sides if you get a chance! what was that old Mcartney/Jackson song? "Ebony and Ivory"?

any interior shots?

Congrats Leon! That's the most beautiful RT12 I have seen to date.

Glad to see you on 6speed as well.

Can't wait to see some VMAX results.

Regards.
