Customers had a choice to either order their car in "narrow body" configuration or with a Ruf designed "wide body" configuration with hand-crafted, widened fenders which add 410 mm (3.15 in) of width at the front and 390 mm (4.73 in) at the rear.[3] In addition to the optional wide body configuration, the exterior features a large rear wing, a redesigned front bumper and special Ruf 5-spoke alloy wheels. It also has an integrated roll cage (IRC); a common feature on Ruf models, and ceramic disc brakes that measure 16.1 inches at the front and 15.4 inches at the rear. 10 RTRs were reportedly built, and, according to Ruf, the RTR is no longer in production. However, it is unknown when production ended.
