I would have thought that Ruf would have eliminated the weight of the heavy mechanized top and went with a light weight manual top for the puristic pursuit of performance over convenience.

Quote:
The 991 Carrera Coupe is as good a handling car as money can buy. However, the change in weight distribution with the Targa’s heavy rear window glass and folding roof mechanism high up in the rear has a negative impact on the way the car turns into bends at high speeds, and this really skews the balance away from the fine handling of the Coupe....................................

In seven-speed dual-clutch form with 4WD, the Turbo Florio takes just 3.1 sec to reach 100km/h, and 9.2 sec from zero to double that velocity. And if you have enough straight autobahn, 300km/h comes up in 25.5 sec on the way to its 338km/h, or 210mph, Vmax.
