Default Ruf RGT 4.2

The RGT 4.2 maintains a long tradition of Ruf supercars with its outrageous driving performance. Unveiled in 2000, the first RGT was characterised by its powerful, torquey normally-aspirated flat-six engine. With a signif icantly reduced all-up weight and sports-oriented suspension system, the RGT was an extremely impressive driving machine.Now, in 2015, the RGT remains true its original concept, though its external appearance is clearly more athletic. The wheel arches are more bulbous and the front facade presents huge round air intakes for more effective cooling. The chassis is reinforced by RUF’s hallmark Integrated Roll Cage (IRC). Propulsion is provided by its virile 4.2-litre six-cylinder, normally-aspirated engine, developing 525bhp and 500Nm of torque, featuring dry sump lubrication with external oil tank. A proper driving machine for sure

POWER
525 PS / 386 kW @ 8.370/min

TORQUE
500 Nm @ 5.820/min

DISPLACEMENT
4178ccm

TRANSMISSION
6-speed manual gearbox

TOP SPEED

If a Ruf can get financed and offered some support in South Florida, I'd go for broke.
