#21
GREAT - Finally a 991 that I like..I hope they changed the intererior too..OK..shouldnt ask to much.
But - what a masterpiece - the most beautiful 991 - look at this you guys at Porsche..
I think they should let RUF decide about future 991 designs..we would all be more happy - wouldnt we ?
I´m waiting for its performance figures around the track..

Very impressive, but I would not call a 4.0 liter V8 that revs to 8,300rpm, produces 414hp, and requires no special treatment normal, either.
