RUF has announced plans to build a modern day version of the iconic 1967 Porsche 911 Targa.
Drawing inspiration from the past, the Roadster features a retro roll bar, a two-piece roof (made from carbon fiber), and a canvas rear section with a three-layer polyglass window.
Power is provided by a six-cylinder boxer engine which produces 294 kW (400 PS /394 hp) or 412 kW (560 PS / 553 hp) in turbo guise. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but a double-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive are optional.
Available next year, the RUF Roadster will be priced from €195,000 ($274,705 USD / £171,210).
