Well, they&#8217;re back with a complete overhaul, inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>Debuting this week in Geneva, the RUF SCR 2018 came into fruition, featuring a full monocoque body, active push-rod suspension, and carbon fiber everything.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-335828\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/RUF-Monocoque-Chassis.jpg\" alt=\"RUF SCR 2018 Chas\" width=\"2953\" height=\"1661\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With just 1250kg in weight, the RUF is out to fight with the big dogs. The figures are no laughing matter, with a top speed of 320 kph, and a very balanced, composed body layout.<\/p>\n<p>The neat part is that RUF built everything in-house. RUF&#8217;s approach differs from other manufacturers, requiring a donor car to be gutted, indirectly inflating air-cooled vintage Porsche market prices. We&#8217;re looking at you, Singer! It&#8217;s the price to\u00a0pay for perfection!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the RUF SCR 2018 features an integrated roll-cage within the carbon fiber chassis, so it&#8217;s race-ready, and the push-rod suspension is complex technology only seen in Formula One cars.<\/p>\n<p>Inside lies a 4.0L naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine producing 510 horses. All of these details compound into something magical and the pictures speak for themselves. Unfortunately, these come with a hefty price and the RUF SCR 2018 will be quite a pricey piece of memorabilia.<\/p>\n<p>With all of this technical specs laid out, we must see it being put to paces around a track.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Homage to the Original RUF SCR Appears in Geneva It&#8217;s been 40 years since RUF revealed a modified Porsche 911 called the &#8216;SCR&#8217;, with a 3.2L six-cylinder engine pushing out 217 horses.
