The Ruf Dakara is an SUV based on the Porsche Cayenne and produced by Ruf Automobile. The Dakara debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2009 with a base price of approximately $327,853 (€230,454).

Performance

The Dakara is powered by a tuned version of the Cayenne's V8 engine that produces 591 hp (440.7 kW) and 656 lb ft of torque, up from 550 hp (410.1 kW) and 553 lb ft of torque in the stock Cayenne. Ruf says this allows the Dakara to accelarate from 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds, 0.1 seconds slower than a stock Cayenne Turbo S.[1] It also has re-tuned suspension as well as optional ceramic composite brakes.

Features

The most notable differences between the Dakara and the standard Cayenne is the headlamps, which are taken from a (911/997) model Porsche 911. On the exterior, it also has a Ruf body kit with a redesigned front end, widened fenders and 22 inch five spoke alloy wheels.[2] On the interior the Dakara features front and rear-facing cameras, redesigned leather seats, an LED lighting package and a high end multimedia system that features TV and phone reception, internet access, CD and DVD compatibility and an IPod interface.[3]
