It's been a long 12+ months, searching across the country, eBay, AutoTrader and even Craig's List, and finally came across the Cayenne that I longed for ... a 2004 Cayenne Turbo (Artic Silver / Black) with a RUF 550 conversion including RUF wheels. I'm the second owner, so this CTT may be known here at Rennlist.

I'll post pics soon ... work is all-consuming at the moment, so in a couple of days/week I'll post.

 

Congratulations Norman and welcome. Sounds like a special CTT--please post the obligatory pix soon!

 

I have a rough one, ooops sorry wrong spelling

 

 

How about a link in the meantime?

Pretty close ... I did purchase the CTT through RUF Auto Centre; it was sold on consignment. Here are a couple quick pics.

The RUF exhaust note is amazing ... it truly sounds like a V8 '60s Muscle Car. RUF claims that the 550 HP conversion will do 0-62 MPH in 5.0 seconds. I have an old G-Tech that I'll bring out and see what she'll do.

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

 

Holy Cannoli... that's sweet

 

Thanks everyone ... I appreciate ALL the comments, even the joyful sarcasm. Since I am a rookie when it comes to the Cayenne, I ask for forgiveness now if I ask a stupid (e.g. duh) question ... I will use the "search" function before I ask any Qs.

 

This looks like it could be the one that I drove at their shop a couple of years ago before I ordered my Cayenne, but I'm guessing that the arctic silver is a popular color for their conversions. The Ruf folks are very nice and their shop is incredible. If you are a 993 fan, it's hard to hold onto your bank account after a glance at the vehicles in their shop.

Enjoy your ride.

 

Looks good! I think I found a source for those of us who would like to look at more pictures. With the link to the RUF site that Lewis provided, I noticed a pre-owned cars section with, what appears to be, a link to your vehicle, which is listed as "SOLD"....

Congrats again and welcome to the Cayenne asylum!

 

Yep, that be it.
