Ruf RT12R

I got an email today from Ruf. A new variant of the RT12 is going to be announced in Geneva this morning.


RUF Automobile GmbH will introduce the new 2011 Rt 12 R coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show this morning. This new RUF boasts 730 bhp
and brashly wears the German tri-color paint scheme to remind you of it's German heritage. Top speed is 234 mph.

...and, oh, BTW, the 2011 CTR3 now boasts 755 bhp and a new 7 speed manual transmission with sequential selector.

That paint scheme makes the face.

Headlights - eyes
Gap under the hood - smiling mouth
stripe on the hood - nose

The car seems almost unreal.

Pricing?? Give it to me in Euros so I don't go into complete shock.
