The RUF Bergmeister is a tribute to Porsche's lightest car.
Alois Ruf has collected many things over the years, among them, a 993 Cabriolet bodyshell left over after Porsche stopped building air-cooled 911s in the late Nineties. Almost 25 years later, that shell has become a car. Dubbed Bergmeister, this a tribute to the ultra-rare Porsche 909 Bergspyder, and designed by no less than Tony Hatter, who penned the original 993.
The body panels are carbon fiber and the engine is a single-turbo 3.6-liter flat-six that can trace its origins to the 993-based RUF BTR2 of the Nineties. Better engine management and upgraded internals like titanium connecting rods help it produce 450 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Naturally, a six-speed manual gearbox sends power to the rear wheels, and there's a limited-slip differential, too.
