In English its very fast and not for shumi wannabes

I don't doubt them at all. I got to ride in a 996 RGT, however they are still a little too pricey in most listings

Looks nice, but price tag doesn't look nice. But then again you have a rare ride.

Gotta love car prices in the US... though the 599 premium is just silly here.

What's the consensus on the intakes over the wheel instead of in front of it?

I am not feeling it for some reason. I'd still take it though

The air intakes are placed there to improve the cars aerodynamics and to provide more air for the intercoolers. RUF is all about form following function.

From what I understand, there are a couple reasons for it.

Function. At the top end (200+ km/h), the RT12 has better directional stability than the standard intakes just aft of the doors on the 911 Turbo, it also has cleaner aero than the Porsche intakes. However, the trade-off is that the intercoolers heat-soak quicker in traffic and low-speed driving in warmer weather.

Tradition. The original RUF CTR yellowbird record-breaking car had large NACA ducts that fed the intercoolers in the fenders. Testing later showed that air was actually being pushed out of the front of the ducts, air was effectively being forced backwards through the duct, which is why you don't see any of the customer-delivered production CTRs with the ducts.

You can see the duct pretty clearly here

The RT12 is such an amazing car!! Both of those cars are beautiful, but I don't get why the gray one is tiptronic... Why would anyone ever want a tiptronic RT12??
