Ruf RT12

The Ruf RT12 reaches 60 mph in 3.21 s (100 km/h in 3.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.07 s, tripping the lights at 130.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.77 s and the eighth mile in 7.21 s, reaching 100 mph in 6.81 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the RT12

The 2005 Ruf RT12 is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,573 kg with 641 bhp, which works out at 408 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.77 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 408th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 9th quickest of the 23 Rufs here. Its 130.0 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 11 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ruf RT12 0-60 time?
The Ruf RT12 reaches 60 mph in 3.21 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 408th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ruf RT12 quarter mile time?
11.07 s at 130.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.21 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.77 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ruf RT12 have?
641 bhp and 1,573 kg, which is 408 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 361 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ruf RT12?
Closest here on pace: Brabus EV12 (3.20 s), Mclaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Speedster (3.15 s), Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 C6 (3.18 s). Each one can be raced against the Ruf RT12 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 RT12 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 11 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.
