About the 997 R Kompressor

The 2007 Ruf 997 R Kompressor is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,423 kg with 429 bhp, which works out at 302 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 302 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.91 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 752nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 15th quickest of the 23 Rufs here. Its 120.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ruf 997 R Kompressor 0-60 time?
The Ruf 997 R Kompressor reaches 60 mph in 3.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 752nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ruf 997 R Kompressor quarter mile time?
11.94 s at 120.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.77 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.91 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ruf 997 R Kompressor have?
429 bhp and 1,423 kg, which is 302 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 304 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ruf 997 R Kompressor?
Closest here on pace: Porsche 911 Carrera GTS 991 (3.61 s), Porsche 911 GT2 996 (3.60 s), Porsche 911 Turbo S 993 (3.51 s). Each one can be raced against the Ruf 997 R Kompressor in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ruf 997 R Kompressor is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
