Nice headlights. Any details? Interesting Aston-style door handles. Crazy suspension.

I've never liked Ruf wheels.

I am assuming this RUF's new tribute to the Yellowbird?

From what I have read so far, it is completely made in house, no sourced Porsche parts what so ever. It is a carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum front and rear sub-frames.

So its a kind of a tube frame car with a 911 body hung on it.....very cool. I wonder how it drives, if its "refined" or just a race car with some thin carpeting.

Definitely reminds me of the Ruf CTR Yellow Bird (video below for additional excitement).



Those headlights are pretty sweet, are there any other pictures that show the whole front end? The headlights kind of remind me of the dapper headlights, but with much more detail.

Edit: found the road and track article on it here: The 2017 RUF CTR Is A Brand-New Car With Classic Style and 700 Horsepower

Way too much alcantara for me. Looks like a fuzzy animal.

I guess the Singer comparisons will end right there.

Don't see the battle...

And I suspect if you park the two next to each other no one will see the Singer.


Just looking at the RUF from a distance, it pretty much makes you run out of words after the thesaurus explodes...

This car is impressive. Interior is fine with me and it feels more like a modern take on what a classic 911 would be, as opposed to just super high quality homage to Porsche classic design that Singer has.

Whoa, really?? Every Singer is 10x better-looking than this car, inside and out.

The drivetrain may well be a different story.

I agree Tremelune, interior looks phoned in to me. Alcantara? Not what I would want.

Totally agree. The interior is a complete meh.

I've been staring at this car all day long. I love every thing about it. The 19" wheels look like the perfect size for this car. If i were worth millions, I would be calling RUF today to put my order in

What a sexy car, I agree, too much Alcantara. I'd love to see the chassis and how they didn't use any Porsche parts. What an effort! Anyone know the price tag on one of these? I assume north of $500k?
