Last month at the Geneva Motor Show, the tuning specialists at RUF revealed the Porsche 911 RT 12 R, and we now have this test drive video to show you. According to the test driver, Martin, this RUF RT12 R is one of the fastest cars he’s ever driven, and this comes from a guy who owned a Lamborghini Murcielago and Ferrari F430. This RT 12 R is the next generation RT12 S, and this sports car specifically designed to race. With its lightweight body, weighing in at only 1495 kg, the 3.8-liter twin turbo engine has more than enough output at 730 horsepower and 940 Nm of torque. With a top speed of over 370 km/h, the price for this Porsche 911 is reasonable at 279,000 Euro excluding taxes. Hit the jump to hear the beast tear through the streets.

Check out this 2011 Singer Porsche 911 custom built by the guys at Singer Vehicle Design. They have decided to re-create, and restore the old classic Porsche 911 models, from the pre-1994 series. Some nice pictures here show us what this late 70′s or early 80′s model Porsche 911 can look like with a little attention to detail. However, this restoration of the 911 can’t be considered authentic, because the tuners use custom made parts from carbon fiber and other powertrains to keep them up to par with today’s standards.
