RUF RGT/RS is my darling with ca 400 hp cuse im the track type.

I was suprised to feel that RUFs R turbo was so very easy to drive. Ok we did drive the 4wd one. But its anyway more rearweeldriven. There is a choice to be made if you want just reardriven as well. The car has 610hp and 800nm and i have never driven a car with so much power so i had not expected it to be that kind to the driver. No drama in R turbo even on the limit, its nothing like the CTR 1 who i understand is the Beast .(did not drive CTR 1 but i know anyway)

Of course R turbo is hell of a car and unreall fast.....its crazy fast.

RUF seem to be real safe with ther tuning and it did take 2 years to make R-turbo safe to hold up its tuning and develop it. And of course RUF trust the car, they leave 2 years of warranty. And fly a mecanic all over the world to fix if ther is a problem.

My impression of RUF is rock solid and MR RUF is cool, we did shake hands and talked a bit.

And as i told Lieb-HP workmaneger did drive us around. My dream had come thru if RUFs test driver Stefan Rosner had driven me around.

Stefan Rosner RUF CTR 1 Track record holder 1990 . There is so many crazy storys i heard of this guy. He is the one driving the famus yellow RUF at the ring. And if you seen the film you know.
Even Mr Lieb HP said he gets relly sick when he is sitting in CTR 1 when Stefan is driving:hahahehe:
