Excellence several months ago showed the Ruf Targa in a stunning green - it was battery powered, but they indicated even then that you could get one with an engine!

Nope, don't like it. (the three quarter view from the front is especially fugly)
You would think they would be able to get the wrinkles out of the rear window...

It might look better with a solid rear window. Other than that, not bad.

In black it would look like Racer's Burt R. Trans Am, it's not my favorite Ruf car and for $275,000?? I won't be getting one soon.

DAE, you are referring to the "Greenster"...Here are some pics of it we snapped in Pfaffenhausen a few years ago:

Yep - that's the one. I think it looks great - a modern interpretation of the great SWT!

It seems to me that most Targas have black bars. I know it started with the brushed SS. But it would be better with black and still be plenty retro since Targas ceased to be made in the 80's.

That car also needs the new factory 19' "Fuchs."

I love those new Fuchs in Excellence. I agree they would look great on this car!

Nice...

But I think I would pick up a new GT3 or turbo S and pocket the $100K

RUF is prolly going to want to use RUF wheels, not Fuchs...

Agree that a Satin Black Targa Bar would look better.

Doesn't mean that's the best look. Maybe RUF should design some "Fuchs."
