At the 2004 Essen Motor Show, the German company Ruf Automobile unveiled its first sports car based on the 997-generation Porsche 911, the Ruf Rt 12. Five years later, a more powerful version of this model, the Rt12 S with S-specifications, arrived on the market. One such example, the 2009 RUF Rt12 S, is up for auction.

Rt12 S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine with 685 hp (504 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 224 mph (360 km/h). It is mounted on silver 19″ cast-alloy wheels wrapped in 235/35 (front) and 325/30 (rear) Michelin Pilot Sport S tires.

This car was used as a press vehicle until the death of the original owner, a racer from Puerto Rico, in 2013. It is finished in Guards Red, properly maintained and in good condition.
