2007 Ruf 997 R Kompressor news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
The RÚF R Kompressor is the latest RÚF creation. The body styling of the RÚF R Kompressor merges the aesthetics of a plain and discreet line wîth pure sportiness. Whereas the front of the R Kompressor expresses pure dynamics, the design of the rear is more unobtrusive. The spoiler rear hood and the rear wing are made of high-quality Kevlar-Carbon. Aerodynamically optimized RÚF side mirrors complete the optical design of the R Kompressor.
The interior is conservative - as it is usual for RÚF vehicles. The RÚF instruments wîth green scaling make the classic flair. Even in fast driven turns the RÚF bucket seats offer very good side support. The RÚF sport §teering wheel, the RÚF gear knob, the RÚF aluminium pedal set and the foot rest finish the sportive and elegant interior.
Another aesthetic detail are the 19'' wheels in the classic RÚF style. At the front axle the width of the wheels is 8.5' and they are equipped wîth 255/35 ZR 19 Pirelli tyres. 11' wide wheels and 305/30 ZR 19 Pirelli tyres are used at the rear axle. The high performance RÚF brakes are fitted wîth 4-piston-aluminium-callipers and 330 mm ventilated and drilled cast iron disks in the front and 330 millimetres and 4-pistons-calipers in the rear.
The RÚF 3.8 litre Kompressor engine is a 6 cylinder 24 valve engine which is equipped wîth a Kompressor and two water-cooled intercoolers. This engine offers the best acceleration, good torque and high top speed. The impressive performance and the powerful torque constantly present at all engine speeds. The basis of the supercharged engine is the centrifugal Kompressor wîth a planetary gear box. This supercharger works like a mechanic turbo charger which is operated by a v-belt. The maximum boost is 0.6 bar. The engine has an aluminium intake manifold which was developed by RÚF wîth two integrated intercoolers, optimized injection valves, a lower base compression, sport catalytic converters wîth greater performance and a newly adjusted electronic engine management system. Both integrated water-cooled intercoolers are supported by an electronic pump wîth a cooling fluid from the additional water cooler at the front spoiler.
The 3.8 litre supercharged engine of the RÚF R Kompressor achieves 435 hp (320 kW) at 7,000 rpm and has a maximum torque of 347 lb ft (470 Nm) at 5,000 rpm.
The RÚF R Kompressor accelerates in 4.1 seconds from 0 – 62 mph (0 – 100 kph) and 13.5 seconds from 0 – 125 mph (0 – 200 kph). Top speed, depending on the gear transmission ratio, is 189 mph (302 kph).
The R Kompressor is manufactured at RÚF Automobile GmbH in Pfaffenhausen, Bavaria. The 'Manufacturer of high-performance cars' has been renowned for building the fastest street legal sports cars. Each RÚF vehicle has its own RÚF VIN number. All RÚF R Kompressor are handmade – from laying the harness, to fitting the interior, to mounting the suspension and brake kit to the 'wedding' – fitting the engine-gear-box- unit into the body. Before we deliver a RÚF R Kompressor, we test-drive every vehicle in detail. The result is a masterpiece – a high performance car 'Made in Pfaffenhausen'!Source - RUF

| The Champion in Touring Car Racing : The BMW M3 | |
 | In August 1985, a rumour surfaced in motor magazine Auto-Deutschland which emanated from a new sports car. An A Group Car from BMW that was a thoroughbred racing car according to the rules but was also to be produced in a version licensed to drive on open roads for everyday use. Speculation about this dream car that could take to normal roads and was intended for the 'Most dynamic among BMW 3 Series drivers' was right on target. But the pundits missed the mark about the motor-sport car by a mile...[Read more...] |
