RUF Automobile Germany takes supercars to another level. Now they seem to be dedicated to Porsches. They buy "white car" 911s and completely alter bodies and drivetrains. Somewhere between 1995 to 1997, RUF worked over an F50 spyder for the Italian Motor Racing team for the Supercar Racing event in Macao which it won. I don't know where the "Mandarina Duck" moniker came from. Perhaps it was the owner Charles Kwan's favorite dish.
I love the engine details on this model. Helluva bang for a $15 buck.

Beautiful detail and excellent value for money. RUF Ferraris are indeed scarce.
