Ruf R Turbo, 0-190mph video

Post by wazza » Sat Aug 09, 2003 9:36 am

At Bruntingthorpe (from a standing start) a few weeks ago apparently.
It can be found here. [2.7Mb] [img]images/graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Now that's what I call acceleration.

I`d need that type of acceleration and speed [img]images/graemlins/sekret.gif[/img]
Ive decided that when i win the lottery im going to keep my nice S3 and have the boys a MTM do some magic on it. 376 - 400bhp +

MTM Lowered suspension by 20mm
Porsche PCCB system with handbrake calliper too
Uprated gearbox
MTM flywheel and clutch
Uprated drivetrain
MTM exhaust system
MTM turbo, wastegate, ecu etc
MTM 2.0T engine conversion
S3 Tuning RS4 style bumper with no fogs
Engine strengthing
NOS maybe
Sports seats like Jr`s
MTM Heldex 4WD controller
Ermmmmm dunno what else.
Image I`m just a hardcore petrol head :)

RUF is an amazing company. Not only do they offer various levels of tuning, but for the REALLY serious spenders they can make you a widebody version, and even lengthen or shorten the wheelbase. Not bad! Unless you've got an RS4 like Andiroo's, there's no finer vehicle to do the US Gumball in! [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img]
