I have that magazine somewhere.

Thanks for the history lesson, Harry and RC45!

But I still have a question: is there a reason why this one doesn't have the air ducts above the rear wheels?

If i remember correctly i don't think that would be the case, Ruf didn't have power stages yet at that time. Either the customer didn't opt for the inlets or this may not be a RUF VIN CTR but instead a full RUF conversion to CTR spec. Of course i can't tell from the pics if its one or the other but that would be my explaination.

A pic of a CTR in for restoration prior to hand over to new owner. This is a RUF VIN CTR and photo was taken while i was visiting RUF for the day. Notice no air inlets.

I think that the air inlets are only to be found on the initial CTR press-car.
Test showed that they did not perform as intended, thus they were left out from the rest of the production series.

Happy new year by the way!

PS If anybody has the original R&T magazine, and are willing to scan/share, it would make the beginning of 2006 great..

thanks for pics Wutputt.

@ Harry and Frodefe: thanks for the further info. The theory of the air ducts only being on the test car sounds like a plausible explanation to me. Maybe we should send RUF a mail to be 100% sure about this matter?

as I said before in your other post, too many pics to browse in one day :shock:

The black Exige is hot!
Never saw the Ford RS200 before ?!
