Cabriolet, 2002

Highlights

  • Extensive history file!
  • RUF chassis number!
  • One of only 12 examples!

We are delighted to offer for sale a true time capsule, a relic of the early 2000s. This is one of only twelve RUF 3400S models ever produced. This right-hand drive example is undoubtedly the most exceptional, distinguished by its stunning transitional paint scheme, ranging from Light Purple Opal on the front to Amparo Blue Metallic at the rear, with a matching lilac soft top. The interior is equally impressive, featuring a highly sought-after combination of leather and blue Alcantara. The result is incredible, and this configuration was made possible thanks to the close ties between the RUF family and the car’s first owner, who wished to pay homage to her hair color.

The car remained in his hands and traveled the roads of England, Germany, and even South Africa for two years, until a complete restoration began in 2015 at the renowned Black Falcon firm. Completed in 2020 at a cost exceeding €25,000, the car has since had two new owners and is in superb condition. It currently has 75,700 miles (121,900 km) on the odometer, and we have a very comprehensive history file, including numerous invoices dating back to the early 2000s. It’s not every day that the opportunity arises to acquire such a rare car, in an unique configuration, and what’s more, a video game icon, popularized in Gran Turismo 3 and featured in subsequent installments up to Gran Turismo 6!

Presented at the Essen Motor Show in 1999, the RUF 3400S was designed to fully exploit the chassis of the Porsche 986 Boxster. For the 3400S, RUF engineers replaced the Boxster’s original engine with a 3.4L flat-six derived from the 996 Carrera, tuned to produce 306 hp and paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The chassis and suspension were stiffened, and the brakes were upgraded. This RUF naturally features a sports exhaust and stunning wheels created in-house, as well as the front bumpers and bucket seats from the 996 GT3 MK1. With this winning combination, the 3400S can reach a top speed of 175 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. Only 12 examples were ever built.
