TRIBUTE - RUF HONOURS THE 911
'The 550-HP RUF Tribute Is a Love Letter to the Air-Cooled Era'
In our 60-year love affair with the 911, we are bringing back one of the elements that shaped the heart and soul of this iconic masterpiece - the air-cooled motor. We are proud to introduce Alois Ruf’s new air-cooled engine, a testament to our brand’s heritage blended harmoniously with contemporary innovation.
This remarkable vehicle is a nostalgic journey back to our roots, embodying the spirit of classic air-cooled engines while infusing it with a touch of modernity, featuring four-cam technology with variable cam timing, variable valve lift and three- valve cylinder heads.
As part of the drivetrain, the RUF-designed air-cooled 3.6-liter twin-turbo engine is embedded in a carbon-fiber chassis, producing 550 horsepower at 6,750 RPM, bristling with the character only air cooling can provide. The engine’s construction is based on a six-cylinder horizontally opposed configuration with an aluminum block and cylinder heads, ensuring a lightweight and robust design. The chassis uses our present modular system of double-wishbones at all four corners with horizontally-mounted dampers lifted from motorsport. Our proprietary Integrated Roll Cage stiffens its lightweight chassis.
All the RUF essentials are combined: steering brimming with tactility, an engine that overwhelms the senses in all the best ways and an overall feeling of lightness, agility and strength. The rush of the air-cooled engine behind you adds something special to the modern RUF pantheon, taking the best of the motoring past and injecting the technology of the present to create a supercar that is unlike any other. At RUF, we believe in the importance of tradition, consistency and innovation, with the new air-cooled study pushing our boundaries in engineering and design. The air-cooled engine has always been near and dear to our hearts, and we are thrilled to be carrying the torch of this iconic layout into the modern motoring age.
