Recently, rare Porsche cars can be seen at auctions, and one of them is the RUF Rt12 R. The car is based on the 911 Turbo model, which in 2015 was produced in only 13 copies.

The German tuner has modified the 3.6-liter twin-turbo engine from the 996 Turbo model so that now the RUF Rt12 R is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo engine with 730 hp (537 kW) and 693 lb-ft (940 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via 6-speed manual transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 230 mph (370 km / h). This makes the Rt12 R more powerful than the GT2 RS, which develops 700 hp (515 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.

The car is painted in dark green. It is equipped with coilover suspension, carbon ceramic disc brakes with Yellow calipers, cast alloy intake manifold, center-lock racing wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, and a rear wing like the one on the 997 GT3 RS. Inside are carbon seats with plaid-patterned inserts and the inscription “RUF” on the headboard.

Earlier this year, a similar example sold for $ 910,000. The car will be sold at an auction to be held May 13-21. Interestingly, this is one of two RUF Rt12 R cars with RWD, which makes it even rarer.
