Exclamation Tested: Ruf Turbo Rt 600 vs. Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

by AutoBild sportscars 08/08

specs as tested:

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

V10, 5,204 ccm
560 PS at 8,000 rpm
108 PS/liter
540 Nm at 6,500 rpm
AWD, limited slip differentila in rear
6-speed semi-automatic

1,516 kg
370.4 bhp/ton

0-100 km/h: 3.8 s
0-200 Km/h: 11.7 s
0-300 km/h: 34.3 s

1/4 mile: 11.65 s

100-0 km/h: 33.5 m
200-0 km/h: 159.0 m

Vmax: 325 km/h

MSRP: 173,740 EUR



Ruf Turbo Rt 600

flat-6 bi-turbo, 3,600 ccm
600 PS at 6,500 rpm
167 PS/liter
850 Nm at 2,750 rpm
AWD
6-speed manual

1,657 kg
357.1 bhp/ton

0-100 km/h: 3.4 s
0-200 Km/h: 10.8 s
0-300 km/h: 31.2 s

1/4 mile: 11.28 s

100-0 km/h: 36.1 m
200-0 km/h: 144.4 m

Vmax: 340 km/h

MSRP: 195,322 EUR


Nurburgring Nordschleife lap times:

7:52.84 - 157.09 km/h -- Ruf Turbo Rt600, 600 PS/1657 kg
7:57.46 - 155.47 km/h -- Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, 560 PS/1516 kg


Verdict:

1st place: Ruf Turbo Rt 600 is the choice for the ambitious sports car driver who wants to take it to its limits and to achieve best acceleration figures and lap times. But it takes an experienced driver to take it to its limits.

2nd place: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 even though it is the more emotional car, the better driber etc... It just loses against the Ruf Rt 600 at the track due to some sudden oversteer.

No, it was not.

The Rt12 (AWD) is much faster:

0 - 200 km/h in 9.85 secs.
0 - 300 km/h in 24.8 secs.

AFAIK this is more like a 997TT with a Ruf 600 hp kit, some interior and wheels only, which is what most people order.

As you can see the exhaust is upgraded (4 pipes).

Interior shots. Looks like steering wheel and alu pedal.

Would be interesting to see some 0-200 and 0-300 km/h times for other tuners in comparison. I'll look on my side so please look on yours.

so is that gt2 time 0-300-0 or just 0-300? i would def think the GT2 is faster than the gallardo lp560 0-300 so im assuming its 0-300-0 since its a longer time.

TOTALLY impossible!!

the GT2 is a beast! it KILL the LP640 in acceleration!

no way the GALLARDO 560 will beat it in straight acceleration!!

to be honest with you i know for a fact that the RUF 550 is faster than the GT2 and the 997 EVO610.

like i offered before lets race your Evo610 vs Ruf 550, real world test.
