Model Information
A collaboration between German automaker Ruf and Italian coachbuilder Studiotorino, the Ruf RK Coupe/Spyder is based on the Porsche Cayman. Available in both Coupe and Spyder formats, the RK takes design clues from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, the Porsche 550, and the Porsche 904. With a flat-6 3.8 L supercharged engine (the RK in Ruf Coupe/Spyder stands for Ruf Kompressor), the RK Coupe pumps out 324 kW (440 hp) at 7,000 rpm and 470 N·m (347 ft·lbf) of torque at 5,500 rpm.
The RK Coupe and Spyder are both extremely limited production models; only a total of 49 of each was produced.

Famous quotes containing the words model and/or information:
“The striking point about our model family is not simply the compete-compete, consume-consume style of life it urges us to follow.... The striking point, in the face of all the propaganda, is how few Americans actually live this way.”
—Louise Kapp Howe (b. 1934)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
