Yahoo Autos America’s First RUF SCR Was Just Delivered And We're Drooling
RUF Automobiles has been blowing minds and setting performance standards for decades, and now its newest production vehicle has finally arrived in the U.S.. It may share some visual cues with the 993-generation Porsche 911 , but it’s all RUF here– made entirely out of carbon fiber and featuring a Mezger-based but RUF cast, naturally-aspirated, dry sumped, water-cooled aluminum flat-6, this ain’t no average Porsche. The new owner received delivery of the first RUF SCR in America on December 12.
This is not another restomod that requires a donor car, this is a ground-up new car platform that was released in 2019 and was RUF’s second car built on its in-house engineered carbon fiber monocoque chassis after the CTR Anniversary in 2017.

SCR weighs only 2,756-pounds, is capable of a RUF-claimed 0-100 km/h time of 3.4-seconds, produces 510-horsepower at 8,270 RPM, and features four-corner double wishbone and pushrod dampers like a true track beast. Base price for this bespoke beauty is around €930,000 (or over $1.02 million here in the States), but all 70 build slots are already allocated. RUF said that more SCRs will come to America but did not specify how many will find homes in the U.S..
RUFs are imported into the United States by RUF North America, which has a facility at The Concours Club in Miami where new owners can test their car’s limits around the track as part of the delivery experience. RUF North America also provides service and parts for Yankee RUFs.
