0-60 in 3.1 seconds. $300,000. What can it be?

[GTaudiophile]

I don't like the color, but otherwise, GORGEOUS car!

2006 Porsche/Ruf Rt 12

With the engine temperature needle safely past 90 degrees Celsius and an empty stretch of road in front of me, I finally press hard on the gas pedal. The four-wheel-drive system hooks all four tires into the asphalt and launches the car forward with a ferocious urge. The tachometer swings to its 7,200-rpm redline in the blink of an eye. Bap-bap-bap! The rev-limiter kicks in for a second before I shift to 2nd, 3rd and smack into the realization that these triple-digit speeds have relegated my previously endless stretch of open road to driveway proportions. Up to 4,000 rpm, the pace is staggering. Ruf claims a 0-60-mph time of 3.1 seconds. Beyond 4,000 rpm, the twin-turbos wake up and you're greeted with an even more potent slug of power.

[Cdubneeddeal]

Hot ride. I can't even imagine going 0-60 in 3.1

 

[Imported]

[Yzzim]

Looks like a VW Beetle to me

<---- not a car guy

 

[krunchykrome]

A Z06 does the same thing, but it can be had for 23% of that price.

It's not a coincidence that both Porsches and Beetles are rear engined. The first Porsche, which I think was the 356, was based on the Beetle.

But since the Z06 is American, it will handle like an ostrich, use twice as much gas, fall apart after 4 years, and cause erectile dysfunction!

Reminds me of Top Gear. Clarkson(doing some comparison between a Porsche and Ferrari) b) said something along the lines of "Porsches are just souped up VWs while Ferraris are more of a scaled down version of god"

Anyways, not my cup of tea. I would much rather get a Pagani Zonda.

this would be true when considering the fact that Ferdinand Porsche designed 'the people's car' and then founded Porsche and started designing cars his company.

Love the color. Love the car.

 

[tbike06]

[Apex]

Personally, I'd rather get a GT2 and spend a few thousand.

Ostriches are one of the fastest birds on land and can reach speeds of 40mph

Just an FYI
