This was the email I got:

RUF Automobile GmbH will introduce the new 2011 Rt 12 R coupe at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show this morning. This new RUF boasts 730 bhp and brashly wears the German tri-color paint scheme to remind you of it's German heritage. Top speed is 234 mph.

Also

The 2011 CTR3 now boasts 755 bhp and a new 7 speed manual transmission with sequential selector.

Anyone at Geneva?

RT12 S was based on the 997.1 Turbo and now the R is based on something else...?

The Ruf Turbos are not based on the factory turbos. As far as I know, Ruf orders standard Carreras, strips them down and builds them up again with their bespoke parts.
