Geneva 2012: RUF's RGT 8 Is The V-8 911 You Never Knew You Always Wanted
198 MPH, 6-speed manual, V-8 fire-breathing 911 - we'll take two

Porsche's brand new 911 has only been on sale for a few short months, but world-renowned tuner Alois Ruf has come to this years Geneva Motor Show with an packed-arsenal of tuned powerhouse's

Shown here is the updated RGT 8 based on the new 911 type 991. RUF showed it's first RGT-8 here at Geneva two years ago when it sent purists into cardiac arrest, stuffing a motorsport-derived 8 -cylinder power-plant in the engine bay. The new RGT-8 uses a similar 4.5-liter V8 that churns out 543 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is 198mph.

 

Love the idea. Hate the look.

 

Never liked those rufs, but this one hit the spot for me, do want!

 

First RUF I like.. And yellow is always good!

 

Wow I guess I'm in the minority because I love everything RUF does and this is included. Bravo Alois!

 

I would rock the sh!t out of that !
8-cyl in 991 chassis ??
Done

Bill

 

I`ve always wanted it!!!

From the first ideas,to the prototypes...but it`s sadly so out of reach for me right now..

 

Give me one now!

 

Finally!

Feels like it's been ages since RUF has done something of the caliber of the RTurbo or RT12.

 

Just AWESOME

I love everything about it...especially the powerplant ;-) that's quite a bit of power coming such a 'small' *displacement wise* N/A V8. *golf clap*
