Looks like Ruf is combining the raked windshield profile of the speedster with a Targa. I think the black around the rear window makes it look as though it may be a soft rear window similar to the early soft window Targas.
VeloTech of Paso Robles also was working on a Targa conversion based on a cab body. It is looks like it may more of an easy on/off install similar to the cab's factory hardtop.

Another thing.... its supposed to be a speedster? or a targa concept? .... or both. Im sold on the targa concept, but it needs to be a 2+2 design or a 2 seater speedster design... not both.

I had an '80 SC targa that I dearly loved. After having a Cab I don't see the point. Hit a button and no roof. Stupidly simplistic. In any event, Like Ruf's version. Looks cool. His firm does execute its designs very well indeed.

As an owner of 2003 targa I don't see the appeal of having to remove and store the roof. Just this evening I was out for drive and it just start to come down hard in a couple of seconds the roof was closed.

You probably have to own one, or have owned one, to fully understand. And the true Targa does add a bit more "head" room.

Those other pics look a bit better, and clearly it's a soft window which is cool.
Early soft window Targas have gone up in value a lot, so why not bring it back again.
Of course the Ruf could probably blow that soft window out at Autobahn speeds, but that's beside the point.

I am not so sure how I would feel with that little shifter in my hand... I kind of felt like I should go take a shower in bleech or something... EWE
are you supposed to extend the pinky when shifting?
