Always loved the 996TT cars and modded ones the best.... The RUF cars I have liked the best. NO affiliation but saw this on fleabay...

The R package from RUF not a 600 hp package so looks like the R RUF package maybe compromised as they note alternate ecu etc... would have preferred a more pure RUF modified car but never the less what looks like a neat build...not for the purists.

Am I reading it right? It looks like there's not much Ruf about this car, just the wheels and a few logos in the interior. Very ambitious price.

 

just read it again.... looks like you maybe right, I thought when they noted R-TURBO PACKAGE they were referring to the real RUF R package for the 996TT...
If this is simply a "RUF appearance package" that is less of interest to me at least and plain old foolish.

 

Wheels, script and sill plates = $20k, sweet

 

Your being overly critical.... clearly you missed the bigger ticket item in the RUF pedals

WTF a third read through and goes from bad to worse...

So in the add they call this a R-Turbo, a RUF R-TURBO PACKAGE and a RUF EDITION “Performance” ….

 

scam job,

that car has absolutely no affiliation with RUF in any sense of the word.

 

Always thought the Ruf turbos were narrow body cars.

 

Well, at least they got the right color combo!

 

It lacks a ton of simple stuff including the gauges and cage.

 

Decided to send an inquiry out of curiosity. We'll see how they respond for our peanut gallery here.

 

What a rip off, you could get a clean sub 10k mile X50 car, with similar mods for under 60 grand...this seller is dreaming

 

Don't they modify the intercooler inlets as well?

 

did they tell you it was a limited edition, RUF modified, one of a kind car?

cant believe I actually started this thread in now seeing what this car is, or rather is not....

 

Not a peep in response to my question.

 

I agree doesnt have the full ruff look. Save your money and go for a newer X50 and still have some left over.
