Has the wheelbase been extended? ...or is it just a new, lower canopy that's throwing me off? The back wheels look further back than on a Cayman.

Definitely extended. It looks bigger than it seems.

Its an all-new design from the B-pillar back, more like racecar than roadcar:

To me it looks like an Exige-Cayman cross.

And I like it.

According to the german RUF site - "The only components that were taken from the Cayman are the tail-lights. The body is based on the 911..."

I see that 911 rear axle set up in the cutaway. But other than that, I can't see how it's based on a 911 any more than any other Porsche. I'm guessing this is the "super car" that we saw a prototype of a year or so ago? I remember it looking a lot like a GT1 911 at the time. Anybody got a picture of that?

Ah-ha! That car is in the game Project Gotham 3 racing for the xbox 360. It is the last car you can unlock because of it's supreme awsomeness. My favorite car because it out handles the F50 racecar in the game. Then theirs the sound. I would post a video or something but I sold the game 6 months ago.

Its butt ugly....I love Ruf and the quality of build and design is usually fantastic, understated and leaves one dying to own a copy. But this....oops, just lost my lunch.

Want to see something that's based on 911 "shape" and looks the bollocks....see 9ff's new supercar. Should be the shiet!

Sorry Luis...this one isn't cutting it for me...possibly it'd come to "life" in person like the 599 did for me...but in pics....nope. Almost as bad as that "Spyder" deal you did w/the Italian designers....saw that last year at Quail and that could be this one's cousin....
