context_page_description: The Ruf Rt 12 is a sports car built by Ruf Automobile of Germany and based on the 997-generation Porsche 911.
context_section_description: The Rt 12 has a 0-97 km/h (60 mph) time of 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 352 km/h (219 mph) with standard gearing, very similar to the RUF CTR2's 217 mph record from 1996. This gave it superior straight-line performance when compared to similar sports cars such as the Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT, and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Comparable sports cars include the McLaren MP4-12C (which is faster off the line but has a slightly lower top speed.)
  Although the top speed is officially reported as 352 km/h (219 mph), there is a taller gearing option which is reported to boost the car's power output figured to in 685 PS (676 hp; 504 kW) and 880 N⋅m (649 lb⋅ft) of torque form to a speed in excess of 360 km/h (224 mph).
