and the 520 is the cheap one (i dread to think ow much)
Performance:
Top speed: max. 350 km/h with long gearing
0 - 100 km/h in 3,7 seconds

Consist of: converted turbo charger, control unit, Ruf intake manifold, sport air filter, Ruf exhaust system and reinforced clutch
unfortunately not many are easy enough to take photo's of, the spolier as you point out split's in half anything above 75 mph

I would say a more realistic average would be 19-20
difference is with 3.6 litres behind, you don't need to rev is as hard to go quickly.

Some of you will recognise the circuit sticker on the rear Also - note the Ruf (rather than Porsche) badge on the bonnet and the R Turbo badging on the rear. Emmmmmmm.

Congrats! Awesome! I drive a lowly 996 C2 
An 'orginal' Ruf car has it's vents higher up on the rear and is unmistakable to a Porsche nut like myself, plus a few minor cosmetic differences. My dream car is a 590bhp Ruf.
