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.

cpenning623 is an unknown quantity at this point
So where is the engine sourced from? Surely RUF didnt build an engine from scratch. What engine manufacturer is behind it?

Oh yes they did! It's their own bespoke design; took years of development and testing. Apparently 45kg lighter than the flat-6 and lower center of gravity. Sounds awesome, too:
