Brand addicts in search of extreme Porsches should travel not to Zuffenhausen but to Pfaffenhausen, home of Alois Ruf, Jr., who has been manufacturing low-volume Porsche hot rods since he took over the business from his father in 1974. With no love from Porsche, Ruf has created such memorable driving machines as the 1987 CTR "Yellowbird" plus today's awesome 777-hp CTR3 Clubsport and the RGT-8 powered by Ruf's bespoke 550-hp eight-cylinder engine. Since other Rufs cost between $314,000 and $769,000 in the U.S., the Boxster-based Ruf 3800S looks like a bargain at $132,895. A Cayman-based coupe is available for $6800 more.
