Hesperus,
Thank you very much for keeping us updated on the progress of your car.
You will have the first RT12 on 6speed. You're a very lucky fellow. Do you have the "longer" sixth gear option as well?
Schuepbach, Khalid,
Any idea when the R50 will be released? Production numbers must be extremely limited, right?

we thought about the taller sixth... but in the end, the standard sixth gear is more than enough. where i live, there are no freeways or autobahns to really enjoy that kind of speed. so acceleration is more relevant than top end.

That was a prototype of the car .. but the pics are almost 2 years old now ... No new pictures have been posted.
At the moment Ruf is concentrating on the "bodykit"-version of the RK Spyder for the Boxster 987. I do not know how the current R50 progress is ...

The RUF factory would, hopefully, be ready around March next year.
That's not what the R50 would look like. It's only a prototype.
Didn't mean to highjack your thread Hesperus.
