RUF RK Coupe = M3 Eater

[Tequila9]

I wonder who has one of those and if they race any m3's ....

[GERMAN]

i saw this in excellence couple months back. nice car. Porsche makes some badass shit.i would take the 9ff caymen over this or the farnbacher and loles gtr caymen.but the ruf is very nice.

[polizei144]

i love ruf

[AlpinweissM3]

That car looks so good.

[Miss325]

loved teh cayman's since they came out, and i think that RUF makes one of the best looking kits for it

[Tequila9]

I am really disappointed the Porsche decided not to maximize the car's full potential.

Has anyone seen the Top Gear Episode on it and how chew/call porsche out for their politics on how this car can not out perform the Carrera or any 911 for that matter

[Tequila9]

i guess that the fact that porsche did that makes me appreciate bmw and their engineers more because they think everything out prior to production

[AlpinweissM3]

I kind of agree. Really doesn't make sense to engineer a car like that and than hold it back because its performance infringes to much on their "higher" level cars.

[the afro guy]

i'd imagine it'd destroy even the new m3 with figures like that. more power, more turque, and probalby less weight.

The “RK Coupé” will be limited to 49 vehicles and will also be available to the US market.

The most striking feature of the car is its subdued and yet massive changes that are equally noticeable and unnoticeable. These changes give the car its well balanced uniqueness and beauty.

The 440 horse power Coupé blends the balance of a mid engine power plant with chassis stiffness elegant curve lines and the perfect handling to make the “RK Coupé” a truly world class performer.

The “RK Coupé” will be built at the RUF Automobile GmbH in Pfaffenhausen , Germany . The RK stands for RUF KOMPRESSOR.

The basis of this compressor engine is a centrifugal compressor with a planetary gearbox a kind of mechanical turbo charger, which is driven mechanically by a Poly-Rip belt. The maximum boost is 0.7 bar. The engine has RUF designed intake manifolds with integrated intercoolers, new injectors, sports catalytic converters and a RUF electronic engine management system. The water-cooled charge cooler has a cooling water circuit with an electric water pump from the water cooler in the front spoiler.

The supercharged 3.8 litre engine of the RUF RK Coupé provides a 440 bhp (324 kW) at 7,000 RPM and 470 Nm torque at 5,500 RPM.

yea..he just cut and pasted on what was on the website.... i translate that to freaking crazy fast times from 0-60 and crazy balance in the salom then when getting on the circuit the car will show its beast side and murder times from other competion....no lie...figure it out with that kit, sure the 9ff has more power, blah blah blah....ruf knows what they did and never looked back i wannna see a race between them on a course and i know that ruf got the best car out there with the italian inside bring so SO SO PIMP, that the moist of women near it is inevitable!!!!!


HA!

[Tequila9]

wow i got to stop posting when i get really drunk..i just read what i posted and some of it makes sense then there are like 2 sentences that just make no sense what so ever. My apologize for the drunk banter.

[Samurai75007]

I get my 944 serviced at RUF and had a change to take the RK out for a spin before they sold it. Nice car and sounded even better going through Addison airport tunnel.

[Tequila9]

how fast did you get the beast going?.....please elaborate the sensation
