RUF Ruf RT12 and CTR @ Nurburgring (Scanned EVO Article)

[Bruce]

Just scanned EVO's article in, they took both the RT12 and CTR to the 'Ring. Scan quality is a little choppy (as usual from me) but it makes an interesting read....















Might i add, stay tuned, i've got EVO's article of the CLK500 (388PS), the CL600 (new one) and the Pagani update from the Fast-Fleet

Anyways, good to see a Porsche on the front page, it's been nothing but BMW, Mercedes and Audi...

Wow! Great read. It sounds like he was following Sabine for a bit on the nurb circuit.

Sweet, some healthy sunday reading

Thanks again Bruce, very nice article to read

 

[Bruce]

You're welcome guys

What i found interesting is the Rt12 is running on Pirelli P Zero's wearing 355mm/25 rubber on the back. Interesting tyre size, can't say i've seen one like that, the Veyron uses 365/30 while the Enzo & MC12 uses 345/30, the Zonda and Carrera GT use 335/30.

The RT12 is one beast of a car. I take it its faster than Turbo R. Thanks for the article.

Quite a bit! In a test by Road & Track last year the R Turbo ran 0-60 in 3.4 and 0-100 in 7.4, fast no doubt. The Rt12 has already run 0-60 in 3.3 and 0-100 in 6.6.

That was quick!

Sure Im a student in England. My father is the other half in the family who is car mad(he bought all the cars) and we also live in munich. (which is very close to RUF)

We both love cars and driving them as quick as possible. Heres a video of me maxing out the r turbo on the autobahn:
