There is a 2004 RUF Dakara 550 (2004 Cayenne Turbo with a RUF conversion) for sale at RUF Auto Centre in Dallas Texas.

I have no affiliation with the seller other than owning one of these beasts. This vehicle has a Dakara 550 conversion (modifed turbos, intercoolers, air filters, tuned ECU, high-flow catalytic converters and sport exhaust). Rated power is 550 horsepower and the torque is rated at 649 foot pounds @ 3000 - 3500 RPM.

To date, in the USA there are only 5 RUF Dakara conversions - four are 550 conversions and one at 570 (570 HP / 656 foot pounds).

For more information, contact Jonathan at RUF Auto Centre.

Here is what the exhaust system sounds like at cold and warm idle.

 

Oh!

The Dakara brings back some memories from Autobahn when I lost Alois Ruf in his 570 hp, I was in an M6 at V Max 270 km/h on the speedo...
