The German Porsche specialists from RUF Automobile have presented at this year's Geneva motor show the R version of their Rt 12 model, based on the Porsche 911. The aerodynamic enhancements are obvious, so we'll go on to the "fun" part. To power the Rt 12R Porsche 911, RUF uses the 3.8 liter bi-turbo boxer engine and upgrades it to 537 kW (730 bhp) at 7,000 rpm and 940 Nm at 3,500 rpm. To sends all the power harnessed from the engine to all four wheels, the RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 uses a 6 speed manual gearbox. The RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 is available as standard with a 4WD system. The rear-wheel-drive system comes as an option.
With a dry weight of 1,495 kg, those 537 horsepower go a very long way.
The official top speed of the RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 is announced to be 370 km/h, which comes very close to the Veyron. However, the RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 price doesn't. It's "only" 279,000.00 Euro.
If you're still wondering what does the aerodynamic kit of the RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 include, will tell you. The body kit is mostly made from carbon fiber, including the rear spoiler, front wings, rear engine cover, and the roof. The RUF Rt 12R Porsche 911 also features a full roll cage, carbon
sport bucket seats, 380 mm front, 350 mm rear ceramic brakes and synthetic side and rear windows.
