RUF’s Ehra Is The Analog 911 Porsche Won’t Sell You
Key Points:
- RUF has unveiled the Ehra, a limited-run model inspired by classic Porsche 911s, featuring a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine producing 650 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed manual gearbox and all-wheel drive.
- The Ehra is built on RUF’s own carbon fiber monocoque chassis and includes advanced suspension with double-wishbone setup and pushrod-activated adaptive dampers for enhanced handling.
- Its design features wider front and rear arches compared to the CTR Anniversary, giving it a more aggressive stance, along with custom fully-forged centerlock wheels and large brakes with yellow calipers.
- The interior blends modern and retro elements, with carbon fiber-backed bucket seats in brown leather with a Pasha checkered pattern, satin carbon fiber trim, classic gauges, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a discreetly integrated small screen.
- Named after the Ehra-Lessien proving ground where RUF set a top speed record in 1987, the Ehra focuses on driver engagement rather than outright top speed, emphasizing a small, nimble form factor unlike modern Porsche 911s.
