The latest creation from RUF, the 2007 RUF R Kompressor based on Porsche’s 997. This car features a supercharged, 3.8L flat-6 that produces 435hp @ 7000rpm and 347 ft-lb torque @ 5000rpm; it accelerates in 4.1 seconds from 0-60mph. The basis of the supercharged engine is the centrifugal Kompressor with a planetary gear box. This supercharger works like a mechanic turbo charger which is operated by a v-belt. The engine has an aluminium intake manifold developed by RUF with two integrated intercoolers, optimized injection valves, a lower base compression, sport catalytic converters with greater performance and a newly adjusted electronic engine management system.
