Model Information
Customers have a choice to either order their car in "narrow body" configuration or with a Ruf designed "wide body" configuration with hand-crafted, widened fenders which add 410 mm (3.15 in) of width at the front and 390 mm (4.73 in) at the rear.[1] Two transmission choices were provided to the buyers which were: a 6-speed manual transmission, and a 7-speed PDK, as well as the choice of rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive drivetrains.[2] In addition to the optional wide body configuration, the exterior features a large rear wing, a redesigned front bumper and special Ruf 5-spoke alloy wheels. It also has an integrated roll cage (IRC); a common feature on Ruf models, and ceramic disc brakes that measure 16.1 inches at the front and 15.4 inches at the rear.[1]
