PORSCHE RUF RT 12R

TOP 50 SPORTS CARS OF ALL TIME :

50. PORSCHE RUF RT 12R
               
                   PORSCHE   makes some amazingly capable and exciting machines. 

Based on the PORSCHE 911 TURBO the Ruf Rt 12 R begins life with the stock 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine. That unit is good for 500 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque (516 lb-ft with the overboost function). After Ruf gets its mitts on the powerplant, output swells to 730 hp and 693 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to Porsche's six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system. And if you're a rich lunatic, you can opt for rear-wheel drive.

Ruf also works its magic on the body of the Rt 12 R. Carbon fiber is applied to the front fenders, hood, luggage cover, seats and is available optionally on the roof. The side and rear windows are plastic instead of glass to further aid in the quest for lightness. This weight reduction, along with the massive increase in power, has helped Ruf claim an impressive 230 mph top speed for the Rt 12 R



With a price tag of 37000$ this cool car can hit a top speed of 370 kmph(230 mph) and 0-100 kmph(62 mph) in 3.2 seconds.
