RUF Automobiles, renowned for pushing performance boundaries, has introduced its latest masterpiece to the United States. Boasting the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the nation and one of just 70 worldwide, the RUF SCR has arrived, captivating car enthusiasts with its exceptional design and unparalleled craftsmanship. On December 12, the first-ever RUF SCR was delivered to its lucky owner in America, marking a significant milestone for automotive enthusiasts across the country.

The RUF SCR, based on the 993-generation Porsche 911, sets itself apart as a unique creation. Constructed entirely from lightweight carbon fiber and equipped with a Mezger-based, naturally-aspirated, dry sumped, water-cooled aluminum flat-6 engine, this vehicle transcends the realm of ordinary Porsches. Unlike restomods that require a donor car, the RUF SCR stands as a ground-up new car platform, unveiled in 2019 as the second model built on RUF's in-house engineered carbon fiber monocoque chassis, following the renowned CTR Anniversary in 2017.

The sole RUF SCR currently residing in the United States showcases a stunning Ivory exterior complemented by a black and grey alcantara interior. With RUF's signature carbon-fiber lollipop bucket seats featuring pepita inserts, the SCR exudes restrained beauty with an interior designed for purpose. While this particular SCR displays an elegant color scheme, other RUF models have captivated audiences with even more vibrant and characterful palettes.

The RUF SCR was meticulously crafted to provide an unparalleled driving experience. Every aspect of this automobile, including its Mezger-derived motor, is painstakingly assembled at RUF's headquarters in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. A bespoke 6-speed manual transmission, designed by legendary transmission builder ZF exclusively for RUF, enhances the SCR's performance capabilities. To bolster structural integrity and safety, RUF engineered the Integrated Roll Cage, ensuring that owners of the SCR can revel in driving nirvana with utmost confidence.

Impressively, the RUF SCR weighs a mere 2,756 pounds, delivering blistering acceleration with a RUF-claimed 0-100 km/h time of just 3.4 seconds. Its handcrafted engine churns out a formidable 510 horsepower at an impressive 8,270 RPM. Equipped with four-corner double wishbone and pushrod dampers akin to those found on dedicated track machines, the SCR delivers a visceral driving experience like no other. Priced at approximately €930,000 (or over $1.02 million in the United States), this bespoke beauty has already secured all 70 build slots, with more SCR models expected to make their way to American shores in the future.

RUF North America, the importer of these exceptional vehicles, operates a facility at The Concours Club in Miami, providing an unparalleled delivery experience for new owners. Boasting a track where enthusiasts can test the limits of their RUF cars, as well as offering comprehensive service and parts support, RUF North America ensures that American owners can truly savor every moment with their cherished vehicles.

The arrival of the first RUF SCR in America has set the stage for an influx of automotive masterpieces from the renowned German manufacturer. With its exceptional design, meticulous craftsmanship, and breathtaking performance, the RUF SCR is poised to become an iconic symbol of automotive excellence for the fortunate few who possess one.
