RUF is proud to introduce its newest model, the RXL. An extended wheelbase version of the Porsche Panamera sedan, the RXL, features the iconic RUF 5-spoke, 22 inch alloy wheels and engine performance upgrades. As befitting any extended wheelbase luxury sedan, the RXL features extensive interior luxury upgrades to suit the client’s tastes.

RUF will be presenting the new CTR 3 Clubsport. This new version of the CTR 3, the Clubsport model features significant styling enhancements in Carbon-Fibre over the current CTR 3.

The partially assembled CTR 3 on display allows you to view the technical innovations and engineering expertise that confirms the CTR 3's “DNA” as uniquely RUF.

With the introduction of the Porsche 991 platform, all RUF models based on the 911 will be built on the new platform and will carry over all Porsche 997 based enhancements and concepts.

In tribute to RUF’s 35 years of history and success with Turbo engines, RUF introduces the Rt 35 Anniversary. An original 1977 RUF Turbo 3.3 will be on display to illustrate the origins of RUF’s history and success with turbocharged engines.

The Coupé, with RUF styling cues of that era, has an upgraded engine that was mated to a RUF 5‑speed transmission. When combined they created unparalleled performance and maximum driving confidence.

The new generation RGT 8, based on the Porsche 991, with its RUF V8, will also be on display at Geneva.


RUF CTR 3 Clubsport

The styling of the CTR 3 evokes the mid-engine Le Mans Coupes of the 1950s. The new Clubsport package further plays on the classic 1950s styling cues with the addition of Carbon-Fibre enhancements to the fenders, door sills, rear deck lid and the roof mounted air-duct. The Clubsport package also features a functional rigid rear spoiler.

The partially assembled CTR 3 allows you to view this car’s technical innovation.

The CTR 3’s extraordinary performance make it RUF’s flagship model.

the line-up will be very promising!

 

has alois been hanging out with danny bahar

 

Can't wait...

 

I think the "RX" is a stretched Panamera.

 

Stoked!

 

Is that gold car in the photo an RGT8? Looks cool!

On second thought, it looks like RT12S...

 

Subscribed. This will be good.

 

I was hoping they would make a smushed Panamera instead....

 

Hi,

....what a horrible photo location for that car.

Cheers,
Nik
