RUF RGT

O veículo em detalhes

Introduced in 2000, the RUF RGT was based on the 996.1 Carrera, and was a major stepping stone as RUF’s first model based on the water-cooled 996 chassis. The RGT featured a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, tuned by RUF to produce 385 hp at 7,700 rpm. Meanwhile, Porsche’s 996.1 GT3 only produced 360 hp, and was over 40 pounds heavier. The RGT was eventually replaced by the 996.2-based RGT RS in 2004.

This RGT was produced for the 2001 model year and ordered in Midnight Blue with a Grey Alcantara interior. Additional exterior options included silver wheels, black brake calipers, and an aero kit which featured a bespoke rear spoiler, bumpers, and side skirts. Interior options included an Integrated Roll Cage (IRC), Recaro clubsport seats in Grey Alcantara with body-colored shells, and a body-colored center console. The car was originally delivered to Japan, imported into Canada in 2022, and into the US in 2024.

Service work performed under prior ownership in 2024 included installation of new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires and refinishing the bumper and side skirts. Under current ownership, the RGT received clear paint protection film. Showing just 31,592 km at the time of cataloguing, this 996-based RGT presents an opportunity to enter the RUF community at an appealing entry point.
