2007 Cayman RUF

The styling is a little too over the top for my tastes. What do you think?

I thought all Caymans had RUFs

I like the rear end, very 959ish, but then again, some folks don't like the look of the 959

i dont like how soft the edges look on the vented cover on the roof. The interior looks like it was taken from a Zonda

I think they're trying way too hard to make it look like a Carrera GT...which it isn't. I like a lot of the tuners' versions of the Cayman, but the modifications need to be subtle more, like this one...

Wow, it's pretty darn significant when RUF bases their CTR on the Cayman instead of the Carrera. I wonder if it's a sign of things to come.

the TechArt Cayman is better, but if you don't need to see out of your rear view I guess the RUF is for you.

It does look like someone was trying to make a Carrera GT. I do like the look of the pics Grizzly posted.

I think it is incredibly hot with one exception, the roof intake and louvered engine cover. It also needs a sexy paint job.
