Great video. I just wish that RUF was more realistic with its pricing. I guess if they can command the premium they get, all the more power to them. I just don't get it.

nice collection of videos. RUF is absolutely the "Red Robin Inflation-Burger" of cars.
great work and an even better car. I am waiting for them to do more "firsts" for the Porsche world. their Yellowbird placed them on the map but since then I have been waiting for RUF to do more than attach electric shocks to the front of their higher-boost RT12 platform. I'd like to know what I get for the additional $100K vs a traditional "rods and tune" plus large front brakes and PSS10's.
I may be getting jaded toward super-tuner cars like this but it seems that they need something REALLY one-off to make them complete as a company. Their reworked Cayman is pretty wild, but for $500K I'd honestly rather own Porsche's own V10 CGT and if I want to be really insane, I'll order it (for $3K more) in a wild color like viper-green.
maybe the answer is that RUF should produce their OWN flat 6 motor for their Carrera-like cars and that they then produce everything in-house (the entire car) instead of stripping a completely good turbo/carera/cayman and then reworking the same car.
I have the most respect for their work, but it just seems like a Porsche Turbo with say, PSS10's on it, Proto/Imagine/Tym tuning and some HUGE brakes, exhaust, that you'd have a similar (perhaps more powerful car) car at 50% of the cost.
