I'd like to see how the ultra-high HP cars from the tuners (ie, stage 4,5, GT800, GT900+, etc) stack up against this car.

Higher mph number? Even so, this car comes with a warranty and is bulletproof, designed for sustained high speed driving on European roads. Again, like I pointed out in Part I, this car only has 305s in the rear. Whatever happened to 345s?

Thanks everyone. I have loads of more pictures, and also there is the story of the RUF Cayenne and the R Spyder (now voted the Most Beatiful Roadster in the World)


Remember that the figures from the RUF are from a normal road at +15C. This is not a prepped drag strip, but repeatable figures on the road.

From what I remember from our discussion AWD vs. RWD, the
AWD the 0-100 km/h would probably be a little faster and 0-200 about the same, then the AWD would be slower.

Erik, how was the traction? I´d imagine that normal 305 street tyres wouldn´t really have all that much grip with 720 HP...
