The Story

Alois Ruf decided to build his personal dream car, the R56.11. By experts it is identified as Carrera 2 but under the hood it is totally different. It not only can keep up with the early 911s, it even can outrun a 911 S in longitudinal- and lateral dynamic properties

The intimate character of the classic Porsche 356 and the superb handling abilities of the 911 are blended in this special Ruf sportscar. The suspension, brakes and steering are derived fromthe 911 while the drivetrain is an amalgam of both models.

The 5-speed gearbox of the first generation 911 with its sporty knife-through-butter shift pattern– the dog-leg first gear at lower left – serves to enhance the driving experience.
The flat-4 air-cooled motor harks back to the 356 and 911, and is configured with two overhead camshafts, while pistons, cylinders and cylinderheads are derived from the air-cooled 911 programme. In summary, it’s a 911 engine that’s bereft of its two central cylinders.

The intake sound of the pair of twin downdraft carburetors, the soaring revs, the extraordinary power available from such a light vehicle, its precise steering, unwavering disc brakes – and the vibe and ambience of the classic 356 – make this fabulous trip down memory lane an altogether unique experience.
