The Ruf Ehra is a high performance sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Ruf Automobile. The vehicle made its debut at the Monterey Car Week in August 2026.
History
The Ehra was first presented in August 2026 at Monterey Car Week in California.[1][2] It is named after the Ehra-Lessien test track of the Volkswagen Group in Lower Saxony, where the manufacturer set a speed record for road-legal cars with a Ruf CTR in 1987.[1][3]
Specifications
Although the Ehra looks like a Porsche 911, it is an in-house development by Ruf Automobile.[2] The carbon monocoque is already used in the Ruf CTR Anniversary, which has been in production since 2019, but the body is 58 mm wider.[4] A retractable spoiler is integrated into the rear decklid.[3] The Ehra is 4207 mm long and 1278 mm high. Its curb weight is listed as 1,325 kg (2,921 lb). A double wishbone suspension, combined with a horizontal pushrod spring-damper system, is fitted at both the front and rear.[5] The 5-spoke wheels have a center lock.[3]
The Ehra is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, which produces up to 650 hp (659 PS; 485 kW) and achieves a maximum torque of 900 N⋅m (664 lb⋅ft).[1][2] The vehicle has a 7-speed manual transmission and variable, switchable all-wheel drive. It is said to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, and its top speed is 340 km/h (210 mph).[3]
