Unveiled at Monterey Car Week, the Tribute blends Porsche heritage with RUF’s cutting-edge engineering.
A New Air-Cooled Era
At the heart of the Tribute is a 3.6L twin-turbo flat-six engine developed fully in-house by RUF. Designed as a modern homage to the legendary 911, the motor combines four-cam technology, variable cam timing, variable valve lift, and three-valve cylinder heads. The result is 550 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed manual gearbox for a pure analog driving feel.
Lightweight and Driver-Focused
The engine is housed within a carbon-fiber chassis, keeping weight low while maximizing rigidity. With a 6,750 rpm redline and the signature howl of an air-cooled motor, the Tribute aims to deliver raw emotion alongside precise handling. RUF emphasizes tactility, agility, and engagement over digital intervention, staying true to its philosophy of mechanical purity.
Monterey Car Week Debut
The Tribute made its official debut at Monterey Car Week, sharing the stage with the 800 hp CTR3 EVO and the first client-commissioned RUF Rodeo. Together, the lineup reinforced RUF’s belief that analog driving is alive and well, even in today’s technology-driven supercar era.
