RUF's Only-Ever Porsche 928
The only RUF Porsche 928 ever made is heading to auction with only 1,568 miles on the clock. RUF built its legend almost entirely on 911-based platforms, so the 928R is an anomaly in every sense. It was commissioned in 1989 by Lee Kun-Hee, the late chairman of Samsung Group, and delivered that September in Black over a Wine Red leather interior. RUF took the standard S4's 5.0-liter DOHC V8 and coaxed 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque from the block, fitted carbon ceramic brakes at all four corners, and added an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, RUF-embossed headrests, and a 180-mph speedometer. After Lee Kun-Hee's passing, RUF reacquired the car and brought it back to Pfaffenhausen for a mechanical recommissioning, swapping the original wheels for 19-inch RUF five-spoke alloys to accommodate the brakes. Largely unchanged from the day it was completed, now you can own the one RUF nobody knew existed.
