Over its long history, RUF has produced some pretty unique cars that have awed fans and Porsche enthusiasts. Below is a list of five wild RUF rides many may have forgotten about:
RUF Rodeo Concept
Inspired by RUF clients Ralph Lauren and Bruce Meyer, the car is based around RUF’s carbon-fiber chassis. Under the hood sits either a RUF-designed naturally aspirated flat-six making around 510 horsepower or a twin-turbo six with 700 horsepower. And, it’s four-wheel-drive!
eRUF
Built all the way back in 2008, this electric car is better known as the eRUF. Using electric motors from UQM Technologies, this car produces 201 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque, with a top speed of 140 mph and a driving range of 155 to 199 miles.
RUF VW T4
Some argue that the RUF VW T4 is RUF’s most outlandish project ever. RUF had fun with this one when it planted a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine from the 993 Turbo into a T4 van!
RUF Dakara
Back in 2009, RUF introduced its first SUV model based on the Porsche Cayenne. Called the RUF Dakara, it used a tuned 4.5-liter version of the Cayenne’s twin-turbo V8 producing 591 hp and 656 lb-ft of torque, up from 550 hp and 553 lb-ft in the Cayenne Turbo S.
2012 RUF CTR3 Clubsport
The CTR3 Clubsport is one of the quickest RUF vehicles ever produced. It can get from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 233 mph.
