Not sure if it's just a standard 997 with a RUF bodykit or whether Alois & the gang did also tweak this one :)

The front looks good, but the offset of those rear wheels is really wrong for those rear arches, they stick out beyond them!
I dont like the rear wing either really. Shame i usually like RUF work.

U wander round SW7 often mate? (i think thats what i can read on the street sign)

Im often wandering round there too as i go to college at imperial and live in fulham.

Definitely agree about the rear wheels, they stuck out too much...

And yep, i'm usually wandering around K&C. Grew up there, went to school there, worked there, still live there now... If you ever fancy a pint ;)

Uhm.. doesn't seem to be a full RT12 (at least the exhaust tips aren't the same... but it's still something rare! Nice catch!

Those " Brabus wheels" look weird in that car.... :roll:

There are better colors for a 911. I've seen better looking 997's but it's a rare sight anyway.

Thanks a lot!!

Honey, does the wheels make my ass looks big??
YES IT DOES.

This isn't a turbo right? There ususally a intake somewhere around the rear arches.....but this one doesn't :|

The corners are very good chosen :P too bad that you didnt had camera with you

Doubt its a full RUF RT12 conversion as well. If anything it would be an engine and bumper upgrade. Car sits too high and as TT pointed out exhaust system or tips are not correct for RUF spec.

Here are my pics for comparison from when I got to hang out at the RUF facilities last Sept.

Yeah it surely isnīt the ultimate version (The back sais just RUF, not Rt12), but it looks awesome even with that bodykit :shock:

Oh, forgot about those air intakes asweel!

Anyway well, not a real full RUF, but a Porsche with a RUF bodykit can still be pretty exclusive.

WHAT A CAR !!! To my mind, a RUF is probably one of the best high performance cars on the planet. It's mindblowing fast and as reliable as a wood burning stove 8)

The only thing this car needs is a lowering kit :) The orange RT12 posted by Harryo2b looks neat :twisted:


Thanks for the pics


Cheers

Yes, RUF has always been known to be the best Porsche tuner, offering the most reliable and best balanced Porsches of them all. What a dream this new RT12 is :twisted:

Ruf is not a tuner.
