Crash is infamous around these parts
And the fun part is, you can now get this engine in the 996TT and GT2. I wonder how the GT2 would drive with this though...

Most people here have a 996TT or GT2, how many have an RT12?

They look nice in blue too, notice the right-hand-drive, this car is in London already (drove in it yesterday).






It looks a lot more subtle in blue than the in-your-face looks of the orange Ruf, I think it maybe suits the Ruf character better.

It is breathtakingly beautiful inside and out (integrated cage, full tan leather and alcantara interior, with Tan/Black GT3 leather seats).

There is no doubt that the car is incredible. I love the looks, performance and rarity.

My understanding (only based on what I have heard or seen posted) is that the car will cost over $300,000.
