6. The RUF RGT-8 is a 911 with a V8 engine
Just admit it: you’ve fantasized about someone doing this, but probably didn’t know RUF actually accomplished this feat in 2011.
The V8 engine was bespoke, because cramming a regular V8 in the back end of a 911 is likely impossible. It boasted 542 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
7. RUF even decided to tune a Panamera
The RUF RXL might be the ugliest and most controversial car ever done by the tuner, even if it was only a concept. It took a regular Panamera and stretched it out like a limo.
While RUF tuned the V8 to put out 420 horsepower, not everyone was impressed by the results.
8. Many enthusiasts hail the RUF 3400S for its pure driving pleasure
If you think Porsche enthusiasts all hate the Boxster, this is one version that bucks that trend.
The tuner crammed a water-cooled 3.4-liter flat-six from what was the current 911 in the car. That, combined with an overall sleeper look, has endeared this RUF Porsche model to quite a few people. The 3400S can do 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and 0-100 in 12.4 seconds, plus it handles like a dream. What is there to not love?
