[edit] Model Information
A collaboration between German automaker Ruf and Italian coachbuilder Studiotorino, the Ruf RK Coupe/Spyder is based on the Porsche Cayman. Available in both Coupe and Spyder formats, the RK takes design clues from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, the Porsche 550, and the Porsche 904. With a flat-6 3.8 L supercharged engine (the RK in Ruf Coupe/Spyder stands for Ruf Kompressor), the RK Coupe pumps out 324 kW (440 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 470 N·m (347 ft·lbf) of torque at 5,500 rpm.
The RK Coupe and Spyder are both extremely limited production models; only a total of 49 of each was produced.
[edit] Performance
The RK Coupe, the better performer of the two (as the RK Spyder is a convertible), has a top speed of 314 km/h (195 mph), and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 s.
