Ruf is the equivalent of Saleen, and Callaway with full manufacturing status. Some quality vehicles come out of their plant, with some hefty price tags

This thing looks like an otherwise perfectly good Cayman with some Fast & Furious Honda Civic body panel add-on's. Ruf engineering aside, the exterior just doesn't float my boat. Interior is well crafted, but no thanks on that too.

For 300k Euros converted to USD, I'd rather buy a timeshare condo in Florida, a nice used C5 'vert, and have a lot of money leftover for dinner.

Nice, but I prefer RUF to be in yellow where Yellow bird nickname came from.
