Here’s Sport Auto’s Christian Gebhardt behind the wheel of the impressive RUF RGT-8. Powered by a RUF-designed lightweight 4.5-litre 90° 8-cylinder engine, the RGT-8 develops 410 kW (550 bhp) and 500 Nm of torque. The original CTR Yellowbird also came along for the ride. Yes, this narrow-bodied lightweight model, which develops 350 kW (469 hp) and 553 Nm, is the actual model from that iconic ‘Faszination’ video. The V8-engined 997 GT3-based car certainly sounds different. What do you think?
