Default New Baby Brother
Say hello to the new Ruf 3400K!


It began life on 12 Jun 06 as a white Cayman S and is now, some ten months later, a 400 PS supercharged 3.4 litre beast!

My friend Joe took delivery of this at Zuffenhausen on the 12th while I picked up mine on the 13th. In the meantime, Alois Ruf has been doing his magic to it. It is also a custom one-off color, "Azzuro Santa Barbara."

Not a big fan of the Cayman, but that's HOT! Love the blue calipers too!

I'm not a big Cayman fan either, but the Ruf treatment looks sweet. Nice color, I bet that looks good rollin' through Malibu.

I like the new color... and body kit + lowering helps you not notice the Cayman's forehead so much. Impressive.

i guess at this stage a repaint doesn't matter, and it is a RUF.

fun!
