In-game description[]
"A fully-complete machine that mounts a 911 engine in the Boxster."
While knowledgeable car enthusiasts are quick to lump Ruf Automobile into the "tuner" category, the truth is that the Porsche-based machines developed by master automotive craftsman Alois Ruf in his native Deutschland are certified as coming from a full-bore automotive manufacturer.
Regardless of which side of the debate you may stand, there's no denying that the 3400S is an infinitely more refined machine than the stock Porsche Boxster.
Ruf technicians performed a heart transplant by substituting the capable stock Boxster powerplant with a Ruf massaged 3.4-liter flat-6 sourced from the roadster's big brother, the Porsche 911, that made 306 HP at 6800 rpm and peak torque of 275.4 ft-lb at 4750 rpm, thanks to the engine's high 11.3:1 compression ratio and dual Ruf Performance System exhaust.
The company then performed a full-tilt handling upgrade with the addition of a Ruf Sports System package that includes an upgraded suspension, along with ventilated disk at all corners that employed new monoblock 4-piston brake calipers up front and stylish new 5-spoke wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero Asimetrico tires that featured a wide footprint of 255/40ZR-18s at the bow, and 265/35ZR-18s at the stern.
This Ruf's aesthetics take a further departure from Porsche's Boxster thanks to attractive optional exterior features including a front spoiler, side skirts, and aerodynamically-enhanced side mirrors.
