R&T: Pumped-Up Porsches!







A ride in any one of these potent machines will leave you screaming for more.

While purists would argue that products from Zuffenhausen are perfect just the way they are, we've discovered that there's always room for improvement, as evidenced by the monsters created by the Dr. Frankensteins of the Porsche tuning world, Gemballa, Ruf and TechArt. This trio is unlike any tuner or aftermarket company in the traditional sense because their incredibly high levels of craftsmanship and engineering have them classified as car manufacturers in their homeland. We discovered for ourselves just how special (and fast) their cars truly are, as we sampled six of the best they currently have to offer. After reading this special cover story, you'll agree that a ride in any one of these potent machines will leave you screaming for more.

Not a fan of the looks of any of those but the experience is sure amazing.

Re: R&T: Pumped-Up Porsches!

As ugly as that RUF-Cayman-GT3 thingy is, I'd love to have that performance in a mid-engined car.

Nice find

One thing in common: they're all ugly as sin. Someone's gotta screw it up though, right?

Re: R&T: Pumped-Up Porsches!

I wouldn't say that, at least for RUF and Techart...

Re: R&T: Pumped-Up Porsches!

I think the Gemballa Carrera GT and Ruf RGT look great..

Re: R&T: Pumped-Up Porsches!

The green RUF RGT and the TechArt Turbo look really good imo, but that other RUF CTR3 is horrible. I don't understand how a company can make one car great looking, and the other a pile of dog poo....oh well, atleast they all perform well...
