Ultimate

At RUF Automobile we are manufacturing with advanced RUF technology a twin-turbo six-cylinder boxer engine with all the attributes of a classic air-cooled engine. The twin-turbo engine of the Ultimate drew from 3.6 litres displacement no less than 590 hp at 6800 rpm and 720 Nm of torque. As a device to keep the weight under 1200 kg we used a Complete Carbon-Fibre body which not only brought the weight down but increased the rigidity of the chassis and was complemented with our traditional Intergrated Roll Cage (IRC). 

​

The Carbon Kevlar prepregs are cured in an autoclave at high pressure (six bars) and high temperatures (120 °C) under controlled cure-cycles. The result of such a process is an extremely light and strong structure. This is an aeronautical process where all cycles are well controlled and recorded producing, as a result, constant quality of the components. The lightweight carbon-fibre body means the centre of gravity is lowered and therefore increased the potential cornering speeds of the Ultimate. The model was fitted with rear-wheel-drive and a traditional H-pattern transmission to complete the classic sports car feeling.
