Default Anyone seen this THING before?

Found this online, not sure if anyone had ever posted a photo of it before, or if anyone here is the owner.

I thought it was, well, unique.

That car is no joke. It is a real Ruf.
Sure wasn't designed to be pretty though.

Totaly unusable as a drink counter! Maybe it tilts as an airbrake.

I was thinking it would be cool to have circus clown (wing walkers) on the back for the next DE.

I think that is/was Steve Beddor's RUF CTR-2 outfitted for Pikes Peak or the Virginia City hillclimb?

I would have thought this would create more drag than downforce!!!

I recall seeing a post about this car a while ago, apparently this car is the real deal, it IS a Ruf, and supposedly needs that rear wing because it's ridiculous fast.

IIRC this is a pic from a Virginia City hillclimb and the caption was something like "laugh all you want" since it's damned fast.
