Amazing.

 

i love it. new era perhaps?

 

Because it''s normally aspirated so all about response. The RGT is their version of the GT3, so think of this car as a GT3 with a V8 and 550bhp, thats what it's about. If you want power you would buy the Turbo-based RT12S which now comes with 685hp.

The RT12 is an amazing street car, but more GT than track, the RGT-8 will be an awesome track-car.

Ruf are also keen to continue to distance themselves from the many other 'tuners' who just tweak a Porsche, whereas they build their own car (the CTR3) and now have their own unique engine as well.

 

So what is the heritage of this engine? Cayenne block?

 

I actually like the color.

 

v...v..v8? :|

 

I'd take a Ruf engineered V8 over a Porsche DFI flat 6 any day.

 

From this view, the engine looks different from the Cayenne's.

 

 

OK, thanks for these pictures. There seems to be several parts that are related to M96/7.7x engine.

 

I wonder if this motor would fit in the Cayman?

 

Very impressive - Dry sump V8... nearly 125hp/liter... I'm sure this thing screams, I can't wait to hear it.

I agree that it doesn't appear to be based off the cayenne unit, I've been curious what they were up to with this project.

 

Now you're talking!

 

"The crankshaft is a 180-degree flat-plane design for optimal flow characteristics"

What do they mean by this?

 

Love the color.. few shades more fluorescent than the Gt3rs Green but striking IMO..
