Ruf Goldfinger 3.4

Information

One-off restomod based on 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2.
The owner wanted a reliable new-old classic 911 with real one-off character .
Marcel Ruf started torefer to the car as ‘Goldfinger’, and the name stuck.

A donor car was found in Sweden - it already carried RSR-type bodywork, so the decision was taken to retain the appearance of the wide rear arches and 1974 3.0-litre RSR front bumper with central oil cooler. New metalwork replaced the rough modifications found on the car and an integrated roll cage was fabricated and fitted. At the rear, a Ruf bumper with rear parking sensors was installed to accommodate the new custom Ruf exhaust. Rather than adding a fixed ‘whale tail’ from the period, Ruf opted to artfully incorporate a retractable spoiler from a later 964, one that rises and falls at a certain speed, thus preserving the classic 911 profile.
Ruf increased the displacement of the six-cylinder boxer engine to 3.4L, which increased the power to 270 BHP.
The car was painted in Lime Gold Metallic from the 991 generation Porsche 911 palette.
The work was completed in summer 2018 at a cost of €396,099.09 (incl. tax but excluding c.€80,000 donor car).
