Ruf is renowned for transforming Porsche 911s into high-performance icons, but this one-of-a-kind 928R stands apart as a rare creation with a fascinating backstory. Commissioned by Samsung’s former chairman, Lee Kun-Hee, this front-engined Porsche 928 reimagined by Ruf boasts a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivering 360 hp – a substantial upgrade from the original 316 hp.
Unlike typical manual sportscars, the 928R uses a four-speed automatic transmission, emphasizing comfort and grand touring capability while packing serious muscle. The car features 19-inch alloy wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, and a striking black finish. Inside, the blend of Black and Wine Red leather with modern touches like cruise control, climate control, and an electric sunroof combine elegance and convenience.
This rare Ruf 928R has been driven only 1,560 miles and retains all original accessories including manuals and tools. Valued between $400,000 to $500,000, it highlights the allure of exclusive and bespoke vehicles in the automotive world. Florida drivers passionate about unique cars can appreciate the craftsmanship behind such rare builds and find similarly reliable used cars in Orlando at Florida Auto Center, where automotive insights meet quality.
Whether admired at a concours or kept as a prized collectible, this Ruf 928R represents a fascinating chapter in Porsche customization beyond the usual 911. It proves high-performance cars come in many unique forms and remains a captivating story for car lovers everywhere. 🚗🔧
