RUF’s latest creation arrives at Monterey Auto Week as the R Spyder, a model that apparently echoes some of the most desirable Porsches, including the latest 911 Speedster and the famous Boxster Spyder.

The new RUF R Spyder is a two-seater barchetta, just like the Ferrari Monza SP2. Its interior consists of the original instrument panel of the 911 (991.2) Speedster, from which it is similar, but to which the engineers have added central reinforcement to separate the two seats. The windshield and its rack have been removed, as on the McLaren Elva.

A strict flat-six

This model is a true speedster taken to an extreme level, with a very pronounced “ducktail” at the rear, like a 911 Sport Classic or even a 2.7 RS. It all comes down to special alloy wheels and an aerodynamic kit specially developed for this event. Yellow brake calipers emphasize several strokes of the same color on the body.

Mechanically, RUF decided to keep the flat six, that is, a 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine without supercharging. The kit is mated to Porsche’s unchanged six-speed manual transmission. RUF simply made a few changes, adding a new cylinder head and variable valve timing for the intake and exhaust.

Who wants to modify their Porsche 911 Speedster?

The German developer did not disclose information about the hypothetical small-scale production of the car.

On the other hand, it is certain that if this were to happen, the price would not be affordable for everyone, since, as is customary in this type of case, you must have a 991 Speedster firstrarely as an “organ donor”.
