Regardless of where you’ve heard of RUF- the iconic Faszination video, Gran Turismo video games using them as a stand-in for Porsche, or elsewhere- chances are you’re aware of the Pfaffenhausen-based boutique manufacturer that takes body in white Porsche shells and makes them something even more special. This particular RGT is one of a reported 17 RGT models built (one of 5 in the US), and the first ever foray into the world of water-cooled engines. Even more interesting is the choice of color- Grün Silber Mica, which came from now-defunct automaker SAAB’s palette. Here it appears a bit more generously applied and perhaps better quality, but the concept and execution is unmistakable.
